Da formação superior à ocupação das vagas de emprego formal: panorama da área de secretariado no Brasil.

The present study analyzes formal secretarial employment in Brazil, so that special attention is given to the registration of jobs as "Executive Secretaries, Secretarial Technician, and Technician in School Secretary", while also presenting an overview of the offer of higher education in Secretariat, in order to establish a relationship between training and active employment links in the Secretariat area. To this end, a research was carried out in the database available in the e-MEC system to identify aspects such as the number of courses, type of offer, and current situation. A search and extraction was also carried out in the Annual List of Social Information (RAIS) of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, with a base year of 2020, in order to obtain data on formal employment in secretariat. The main findings, in relation to training, point to a shift in the supply of in-person bachelor's degree courses to training courses in Secretarial Technology, in the distance modality. Regarding the labor market, it was observed that there were 178,246 active jobs in 2020 for the Secretariat area, distributed in different Brazilian regions, with a focus on the Southeast Region. The interconnection with the two sets of data leads to reflections on the need for policies to encourage training in the area, as well as combating the illegal exercise of the profession, as premises for the growth of the profession.
