In a ceremony commemorating the 50th anniversary of the National Employment System (Sine), held this Wednesday (8) in Brasília, the public servant Maria da Conceição Vale de Souza, from Sine Pará, was honored as the collaborator with the longest tenure in the system. The event, presided over by the Minister of Labor and Employment, Luiz Marinho, brought together managers, technicians, and public servants from various Brazilian states.
During the ceremony, the minister highlighted the historical importance of Sine as a public policy aimed at employability and social protection. According to him, the system plays a fundamental role in promoting decent work and supporting millions of Brazilians in search of opportunities.
“Sine turns 50, but we still have much to improve, especially in modernizing the tools, with the aim of offering more ease and efficiency,” emphasized Marinho.

The public servant Maria da Conceição Vale de Souza, who joined Sine back in 1970, received the award with emotion and gratitude, being honored with a medal from the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE) in recognition of her work.
“The most rewarding part of our work, and here I do not speak only for myself, with 48 years of service in Sine, is seeing a worker who comes to us, often already unemployed for some time, leaving home without being able to leave milk or breakfast for the family, in search of offering their labor in exchange for a decent salary. When we manage to refer this worker and the result is positive, when they secure their position, it is an immense satisfaction for us, public servants of the State,” said Maria da Conceição.
Coordinated by the MTE, the Sine network operates in partnership with states and municipalities, which receive resources from the Worker Support Fund (FAT), to provide services to the population. Currently, the network has about 1,500 agencies across the country, offering labor intermediation, unemployment insurance referrals, professional guidance, and qualification programs. These services are also available in the Digital Work Card.
“Sine Pará, managed by the state government through Seaster, is always seeking more improvements in service delivery, with investments and effective actions throughout Pará, such as the 'job fairs'. The recognition of a public servant's work is extremely joyful and shows that we are on the right path, that of promoting the inclusion of our population in the labor market,” emphasized Inocêncio Gasparim, head of Seaster.

Created in 1975, Sine acts as an intermediary between workers and employers, offering services such as professional qualification and unemployment insurance. Over five decades, the system has contributed to job creation and the strengthening of citizenship throughout the country, establishing itself as a public policy of great social impact.
