The Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services published, this Friday (21), the ordinance that officially authorizes the holding of the public competition for the Technological Institute of Aeronautics (ITA in Ceará), the first unit outside the state of São Paulo. The document foresees the hiring of 110 new employees, 50 for the position of professor of higher education and 60 for specialized technical functions.
The authorization of this competition represents a historic advance in strengthening technological education in the Northeast, bringing to Ceará a renowned institution for training some of the most renowned engineers and researchers in the country. The competition is an important step in the federal government's planning to decentralize centers of technological excellence throughout Brazil.
Detailed distribution of vacancies and competition schedule
As detailed in Ordinance MGI No. 2.091, published in the Official Gazette of the Union on March 21, 2025, the 110 vacancies are divided into different professional categories.

Those approved will begin working at the new ITA campus in Ceará after the final result of the competition, with academic activities expected to begin in 2027, as highlighted by the Minister of Education, Camilo Santana, in a statement to the newspaper Diário do Nordeste.
Investments and progress of works on the ITA Ceará campus
The creation of the ITA campus in Ceará is part of a series of significant investments of the federal government aimed at technological education in the Brazilian Northeast. The works, which began in September 2024, are already advanced and represent an estimated financial contribution of R$ 180 million.
According to official information from the Ministry of Education published by Diário do Nordeste, the first phase of the works received approximately R$71 million in funding. The project is currently in the second phase of construction, a stage in which approximately R$104 million will be invested to complete the facilities. The entire campus is expected to be ready by 2026, enabling the start of academic activities in 2027.
Historical importance and decentralization of technological education in Brazil
Created in 1950, the Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica is considered one of the most prestigious technological higher education institutions in Brazil, and is an international reference in the training of aerospace engineers and in conducting advanced scientific research. Traditionally headquartered in São José dos Campos, in the state of São Paulo, the opening of the Ceará campus represents a historic decentralization of access to this level of educational excellence.
Data from the Ministry of Education, published by the newspaper Diário do Nordeste, reinforces that this expansion will meet a growing demand for qualified professionals in the aerospace and technology sector throughout the Northeast. With this, ITA in Ceará has the potential to become a regional and national attraction center for talent interested in technical and scientific careers.
Next steps and future expectations
The expectation now is for the publication of the full notice, scheduled for September of this year, when all the details about the requirements, salaries, stages and deadlines of the competition will be known. Those interested in participating should follow the next official announcements released by the federal government and the specialized press.
With the ITA of Ceará, the federal government seeks to promote a true technological transformation in the Northeast region, aligning with the national strategy of economic and social development based on scientific and technological innovation.
