Over 3,000 Jobs in Rio’s Degase Contest with Extended Deadline
The deadline for one of Rio de Janeiro’s biggest public competitions of 2025 has been extended, and this is great news for anyone who is planning to enter. We’re talking about the Degase contest — that’s the General Department of Socio-Educational Actions — which is offering nothing less than 3,009 opportunities. The registration period has been officially extended until September 8, giving candidates a little extra time to secure their spot.
The process is being handled through Idecan, the National Educational, Cultural and Assistance Development Institute. Registration fees are set at R$90 for middle and technical level positions, and R$120 for higher-level positions. Out of the total, 564 openings are for immediate hiring, while 2,445 are being held for a reserve list, which means those approved could still be called during the validity of the contest.

Now, about the exams — every candidate will face both an objective test and a writing exam, which are eliminatory and classificatory. These are scheduled for October 11, except for the socio-educational security agents, both male and female, who will take their tests the very next day, October 12. The objective exam itself will include 60 multiple-choice questions, covering Portuguese, logical and mathematical reasoning, legislation, and specific knowledge based on the position. For higher-level candidates, there’s also a title evaluation stage, which can add to the final score.
Those who pass and are called to act as socio-educational agents will also undergo an initial training course, which is eliminatory and requires 160 hours of in-person classes — combining both theoretical and practical lessons. The tests will mostly be applied in the city of Rio de Janeiro, but if registrations go beyond the capacity, other metropolitan cities might also be included.
And let’s talk about the benefits. Besides base salaries, successful candidates will receive several bonuses. There’s a qualification bonus for those with higher education than required for the role, a danger allowance of up to 30% for risk-related positions like security agents, and an activity bonus for those working directly in socio-educational units. Everyone also receives meal assistance, which can vary between R$300 and R$500 depending on the role.
The contest follows legal requirements for inclusivity, meaning vacancies are reserved not only for broad competition but also for people with disabilities, those from economically vulnerable backgrounds, as well as Black and Indigenous candidates. Once approved, candidates will need to be at least 18 years old, up to date with electoral and military obligations, and hold the required educational background for the position.
In short, this is not just a hiring process — it’s a big opportunity for stability and professional growth, with strong benefits and the chance to build a career in the public sector. With the deadline extended, there’s still time to prepare and secure a chance at one of these more than 3,000 opportunities.
