How to seek a referral to a job
The city has not published a mandatory step-by-step service route, but the confirmed services indicate a practical flow for people arriving at the fair in search of employment.
- Look for Fundat's service area at the venue. The event was organized to concentrate employment services for people with disabilities.
- Register or update your résumé. This is one of the services explicitly confirmed by the organizers.
- Use the career guidance service. The team can assist with résumé presentation and interview preparation.
- Check compatible opportunities. The fair will be connected with partner companies and openings for people with disabilities.
- Receive a referral when a suitable opportunity is available. The announcement confirms referral services, but it does not promise automatic hiring. Selection depends on the available openings and the processes conducted by employers.
What the organizers have not detailed yet
Some important information does not appear in the official announcement published on September 17. As of that release, there was no public detail about:
- the total number of jobs available at the fair;
- a full named list of participating companies;
- mandatory documents for service;
- whether advance registration or appointments are required;
- the distribution of services by time slot.
For that reason, bringing an updated résumé may make the service easier, but this should be understood as useful preparation, not as a published official requirement. The program itself includes support for registering or updating a résumé.
Who is involved in the fair
Conecta PcD brings together Fundat, SINE, the Municipal Department for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (Semdef), partner companies with jobs for people with disabilities and the Regional Superintendency of Labor and Employment (SRTE). Fundat also said it prepared its team with support from the Ministry of Labor and held alignment meetings with Human Resources professionals from participating companies to organize service flow, interviews and responsibilities.
Regarding communication accessibility, the city said the organizers were seeking support from a Brazilian Sign Language association. This means that this resource should not be treated as confirmed until there is a new official update.
Discussion on accessible recruitment
The program includes the discussion “Inclusion in Practice: challenges and paths to accessible recruitment”, with the announced participation of Daniele Vasconcelos, a Labor Inspector at MTE/SE, and Flávia Elaine, a tax law attorney. The session is intended to discuss barriers in recruitment and practices that can expand the participation of people with disabilities in the labor market.
How to continue looking for jobs after the event
People who want to keep following opportunities outside the fair can also use EmpregAju, the City of Aracaju's official employment portal. The platform allows users to create an account, browse jobs and apply for opportunities. Because listings are dynamic, job titles and quantities can change at any time.
For September 21, the essential information is straightforward: Conecta PcD will operate from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Praça da Juventude in Farolândia, with résumé services, guidance, interview preparation, training information and referrals to available opportunities. Anyone seeking a job can use the event to keep their professional information up to date and check on site which opportunities match their profile.
