Brazil launches numerous public‑sector hiring and internship programs in 2026
Municipalities in Brazil are opening a series of recruitment drives for 2026. The city of Bom Jesus do Galho in Minas Gerais announced a simplified selection process for three permanent positions – two social‑assistant roles and one psychologist – with salaries up to R$3,000 and a R$50 application fee.
The public prosecutor’s offices are also hiring. The Ministério Público do Espírito Santo (MPES) posted internship opportunities for law students in Vitória, Aracruz, Afonso Cláudio and Nova Venécia, offering monthly stipends of R$1,100 for undergraduates and R$1,900 for postgraduate trainees, plus transport allowances. At the federal level, the Ministério Público Federal (MPF) opened the second unified internship selection for the Acre regional office, reserving 10 % of slots for people with disabilities, 30 % for Black candidates and 10 % for Indigenous or traditional communities; successful interns will receive a stipend of R$1,300 and transport assistance.
In Santa Catarina, the Prefeitura de Garuva published an edital for health‑professional contracts, hiring one occupational therapist and one speech‑therapist on a temporary basis with a monthly salary of R$4,736 and a food‑voucher supplement. Meanwhile, the Senac Acre program announced 60 free spots for receptionist and fuel‑station attendant courses aimed at low‑income residents of Brasiléia.
These initiatives collectively target dozens of graduates and professionals, aiming to strengthen public services across several Brazilian states.
