The shortage of qualified technology professionals is a challenge for companies across all industries. Finding developers who combine strong technical skills with cultural alignment has become essential to building high-performance teams and sustaining digital transformation initiatives.
This was exactly the scenario faced by Unicred, one of Brazil’s largest credit cooperatives. The organization was looking not only for skilled technology professionals, but also for talent aligned with its organizational culture and business purpose. To meet this need, Unicred partnered with Zallpy and its IT training program, Zallpy Academy.
A tailor-made IT training program
Zallpy Academy is Zallpy’s education and training initiative designed to develop technology talent in a practical way, aligned with each client’s specific needs.
In Unicred’s case, an exclusive project was structured with a focus on mobile development. The program went beyond technical skills, also including soft skills training and the development of a strong cultural fit with the cooperative’s DNA.
The course lasted 84 business days, spread across four phases and more than 500 hours of instruction. Throughout this period, participants received close guidance, with both technical and behavioral mentoring to accelerate their development.
This training model had already been validated internally at Zallpy, where more than 20% of the team has been trained through the Academy, ensuring high engagement, technical excellence, and low turnover rates.
Practical and immediate results
The program developed for Unicred delivered strong results:
- 14 students graduated with an average score above 8, with half of them achieving the maximum score.
- 7 professionals were hired by Unicred, while the others joined Zallpy’s team to work in outsourcing engagements for the client.
- A complete application was developed as the final project, including features such as task management, user authentication, and planning.
- From the second month onward, students were already working on real Unicred projects.
Beyond talent development, the program generated strategic impact. Unicred was able to monitor the initiative’s ROI through follow-up reports and consolidate a specialized human capital base aligned with its culture.
Training as a business strategy
The Unicred case shows that investing in IT training programs goes far beyond filling open positions. It is a strategy capable of:
- Reducing dependence on the external talent market.
- Ensuring retention and engagement of technology teams.
- Accelerating the onboarding of new professionals into critical projects.
- Expanding social impact by training young talent and developing the community.
With Zallpy Academy, companies can structure customized training programs to develop highly qualified professionals who are ready to work with cutting-edge technology and fully aligned with organizational culture.
A successful partnership
The partnership between Unicred and Zallpy Academy demonstrates how IT training can transform businesses by strengthening teams and delivering short-term results.
