The port sector in Itajaí, Santa Catarina, may receive new professionals to its roster of Casual Port Workers (TPAs). The Labor Management Agency (OGMO) of Itajaí has an open selection process for the formation of a reserve pool with 122 positions, intended for future enrollment in the worker registry of the Stevedore/Longshoreman category.
The selection also draws attention for its potential to expand female participation in port operations. For decades, operational activities in Brazilian ports were associated predominantly with male presence. This reality, however, has been changing with the entry of women into different roles linked to port operation, logistics, and management.
Eligibility requirements
Among the requirements set forth in the notice are minimum age of 18 years, high school diploma, and a National Driver's License (CNH) category C or higher.
An important point for those intending to participate in the selection is the distinction between the requirements for application and those required later for enrollment in the registry.
According to the process information, the CNH category C is a requirement for enrollment in the worker registry, and not a necessary condition to submit an application to the selection process. Thus, candidates who do not yet hold the required category can participate in the selection and seek to upgrade their category during the process stages, observing the deadlines and other conditions established in the notice.
Selection will have different stages
The process is not limited to taking a single exam. Candidates must go through different evaluation phases, including objective exam, title evaluation, physical fitness test, and psychological assessment.
Candidates who advance in the process will still be subject to medical examinations and professional training course, stages related to preparation for engaging in port activities.
Since this concerns formation of a reserve pool, approval in the selection process should not be confused with immediate hiring. The objective is to establish a roster of eligible candidates for future enrollment in the port worker registry, according to the rules and needs set by OGMO.
For those wishing to enter the sector, the recommendation is to carefully review the full notice, verify all requirements, deadlines, documents, and conditions of the stages before submitting an application.
Application and official information about the selection process are available through IDCAP, responsible for organizing the selection.
