Its primary function is to train future technical professionals through a set of 10 full programs. Also, Cotuca offers 4 specialization programs.

For technical specialization, the options are Industrial Automation, Biomedical Equipment, Quality and Productivity Management and Computer-Assisted Mechanical Design. Because the programs regularly offered are free, admission involves a competitive selection process for the applicants. The quality of training provided by Cotuca is evidenced by the large inclusion of graduates in the labor market and in the best universities in Brazil. Cotuca also has a tradition of training excellent interns, who can work in various technological areas of the market. This tradition is made clear by the many internship agreements that the school has sign over the years with more than 1,000 partner companies. Another highlight of the school is the large number of extracurricular activities in which the students are directly involved. With this, Cotuca improves the teaching and learning process through the interaction of students and teachers with labor market and technology and science production activities. The history of Cotuca is related to a stately building located in Campinas, where it has operated for nearly 50 years since its founding in 1967. Designed by the architect Ramos de Azevedo and built in 1918, the building was donated to the state by its owner, Campinas councilor, abolitionist and republican Bento Quirino dos Santos, who mandated that the site be allocated for educational activities. The 6,500-m² building is listed as a municipal historical patrimony. Its facilities hosted the early activities of Unicamp itself simultaneously when Cotuca began offering its first technical programs in the Food, Electro-Technical and Mechanical fields. Shortly afterwards, the Nursing and Data Processing programs were created. The name Cotuca stands for Technical High School of the University of Campinas, which was the official name of the school for many years. It was later replaced by the name Technical High School of Campinas. However, the acronym by which the school is widely known has been maintained.
