Minister Claims That 2024 Will Have More Competitions; Recently, the Federal Government Closed Registrations for the So-Called “Enem of Competitions,” Which Will Have Over 6,000 Vacancies.
Unlike previous years, in 2024, Brazil is experiencing a high number of competitions. This brings joy to those studying for public service exams, who dream of obtaining a public position but have been lacking good opportunities.
Speaking about the balance of the Unified National Public Exam (UNPE), referred to as “Enem of Competitions” due to the high number of registrations and vacancies, the Minister of Management and Innovation in Public Services, Esther Dweck, stated that new major exams are expected to be announced still in 2024.
According to the head of the department, the “Enem of Competitions” will have 2.1 million participants. This number makes the exam the largest selection process aimed at filling vacancies in public administration in history. This final figure was released after compensating all payments of the registration fee, which was mandatory for those not exempt.
