State strengthens accessibility and income at Job Fair for people with disabilities
The participation of several companies allowed for on-site interviews, facilitating the process of entering the job market efficiently
The Government of Pará, through the State Secretariat for Social Assistance, Labor, Employment and Income (Seaster), promoted, at the Integrated Center for Inclusion and Citizenship (CIIC), in the Marco neighborhood of Belém, on Friday (28), the Job Fair for PWDs (people with disabilities). The initiative brought together workers seeking opportunities in the job market, as well as training and issuance of essential documents for those who wish to secure their financial autonomy.
The event prioritized people with disabilities, promoting support and assistance through the offering of job vacancies and guidance in the area of employability across various sectors, such as Services and Gastronomy. The mobilization brought together partner companies on-site, reinforcing the State's commitment to public policies for greater integration. About 120 people received exclusive assistance from the National Employment System (Sine), including registration for job vacancies, referrals for job interviews, and issuance of work cards.
“We are once again providing the Fair, taking advantage of this end-of-year period when companies usually offer a larger number of vacancies. Today we have the participation of 10 to 12 companies, offering between 40 and 50 immediate opportunities for our users,” informed the coordinator of CIIC, Felipe Bordalo.
Documents - In addition to job intermediation via Sine, participants had access to the issuance of documents, including birth certificates, General Registration (RG), and civil regularization — upon presentation of copies and originals.
Several job interviews were conducted by companies on-site, facilitating the process of entering the job market efficiently.
Equality - The Job Fair for PWDs has an extremely positive impact and fosters job and income generation for all, allowing these users to benefit equally, emphasized Ewerton Menezes, who attended CIIC in search of a job.
“These spaces are important because they prevent workers with disabilities from having to search alone and without direction, as they often do not know where there are vacancies designated for the quota. Fairs like this, and communication groups, make the process more accessible, agile, and effective. It is, above all, a matter of accessibility,” said Ewerton Menezes.
Vaccination - Through a partnership with the State Secretariat of Public Health (Sespa), the program also included the offering of vaccinations, with doses against tetanus, triple viral, and yellow fever, ensuring preventive health for all.
“I came today in search of an opportunity, and I was very satisfied with what I found. It is good to see so many companies gathered in one place because it brings us closer to employment and speeds up the process. Many times we submit resumes and do not receive feedback, but here the conversation is direct, face-to-face, and that makes a difference. I was happy to participate in an action that combines opportunity and health in the same space. We leave with job referrals, guidance, and even with our vaccinations up to date,” emphasized Isabella Santos.
The public found humanized assistance, professional referrals, and integrated support to expand opportunities, in addition to a fair organized by entrepreneurs, which strengthens work and income trajectories.
“The initiative reinforces the role of the Government of Pará, through Seaster and CIIC, as a strategic point for social inclusion in the State, bringing services closer, ensuring fully inclusive policies, guaranteeing that more people have access to new perspectives for professional and personal development,” emphasized Inocencio Gasparim, head of Seaster.
