About IFPB
The offering of vacancies by the Federal Institute reflects the growth of the federal education network in Brazil. Since its creation, the institution has expanded its presence in various regions.
The IFPB emerged from the integration of former institutions, such as Cefet-PB and the Federal Agricultural School of Sousa. This process strengthened technical education in the state.
Currently, the Federal Institute has several campuses spread across Paraíba. New units are still in the process of being implemented.
