Key details
On December 17, 2025, officials from Brazil’s Ministry of Labor and Employment and the French Development Agency visited Belém in Pará to solidify international cooperation efforts aimed at modernizing and expanding public employment policies. This visit was orchestrated by Pará's Secretary of State for Social Assistance, Labor, Employment, and Income (Seaster) and included technical presentations and tours of public facilities such as the Usina da PAz do Guamá. Discussions focused on integrating labor services, evaluating job vacancies, and strengthening partnerships with the productive sector to boost job opportunities.
This initiative builds upon the 'Sine em Transformação' project, established through collaboration since 2023, designed to revamp employment services. After a successful pilot phase in Roraima and Paraná, the project has now expanded to five Brazilian states, including Pará. Earlier in 2025, a Brazilian delegation had visited France to study their employment service models, informing ongoing efforts at home.
The Pará government has been proactive by organizing 13 job fairs and improving the training and standardization of Sine labor posts, underscoring a robust commitment to advancing labor market policies and directly benefiting workers in the region.
