INSTITUTION BACKGROUND
 
 
Formerly, the Centro Tecnológico do Mobiliário – SENAI/CETEMO was the “CENTRO INTEGRADO DO SESI –SENAI CAVALHEIRO JOSÉ FARINA”. The First Centro Integrado da Rede SENAI – RS, inaugurated in 1973, had its premises and shops in the SESI premises in Bento Gonçalves. In the day shift, General Mechanics and Electrician Learning were offered to the minors and, in the night shift, they offered Qualification Courses as Welder, Car Electrician and Mechanical Lathe Operator.
In the middle of 1979, a Joinery Shop started working in a building ceded by the Patronato de Bento Gonçalves having started a new phase of development in the school, offering the Joiner Course in the Learning type.
In the course of years, Bento Gonçalves, a city driven to wine-production, started developing its Industrial Complex, one of its main characteristics: the Furniture Complex that developed very fast and represented a real reason for the SENAI to be enlarged in Bento Gonçalves.
The first landmark to the building starting was the donation of a terrain made by the City Hall. Later, the City Hall would also donate the area and premises where the Joinery Shop had been settled.
The funds for the construction of the Centro Tecnológico do Mobiliário – SENAI were obtained from the National Department through the business community assistance. In 1982, the foundation stone had been launched and, in 1983, the Center was inaugurated, having as its mission both to help the Technical and Technological development of the region Industries and the training of human resources that were necessary for the sector.
The beginning of a new landmark in the History of SENAI in Bento Gonçalves had been settled. The arrival of new technicians made possible to offer Learning courses
 



of Industrial Joiner and General Mechanics, Qualification in Furniture Painting, Maintenance of Machines for the Furniture Sector, Tool Sharpening and also training courses that made possible the development of abilities, attitudes and know-how concerning the specific areas of working.
In 1986, the Núcleo de Informação Tecnológica em Mobiliário e Madeira (NIT/MM) was introduced, due to an agreement between SENAI-RS and the former Secretaria de Tcnologia Industrial-MIC, having as its main goal to offer services about Technological Information transference to the National Furniture Sector through the identification, collection, treatment and spread of information contained both in the national and international bibliography.
In 1988, a modern Joinery Shop was inaugurated while a sector of Technical Advisory and Industrial Laboratory were settled, due to an agreement of Technical Cooperation made between SENAI and the Canada Government. This agreement made possible to the CETEMO technicians go to Canada to participate of training in the ÉCOLE QUÉBÉQUOISE ou MEUBLES DU BOIS OUVRÉ, CEGEP DE VICTORIAVILLE, and the coming of technicians from Canada to CETEMO.
