Transforma Minas is how the Minas Gerais state government picks people for its senior posts. According to the state’s own description of the program, selections are made on merit and every opening is published along with its stages. Civil servants can apply, and so can people from private companies and the third sector. Those jobs are in Belo Horizonte, the state capital. On November 10, 2026, the program had two selections open, both at Hemominas, the state blood and hematology foundation, and one of them lists AI governance among its desirable skills.

What is Transforma Minas?
The merit-based program the Minas Gerais state government uses to fill senior posts. Per the program page, each selection sets its own stages, which can run from a resume review and a profile test to several rounds of interviews. Open selections are listed on its Inscrições abertas page.

The numbers
- IBGE, Censo 2022: Belo Horizonte had 2,315,560 residents, 60,049 fewer than in 2010. Minas Gerais had 20,539,989.
- IBGE, PIB dos Municípios 2023, the latest year published: the city produced 13.40 percent of the state’s GDP and 1.19 percent of Brazil’s.
- IBGE, PIB dos Municípios 2021, the latest year with a sector breakdown: public administration, defense, public education and health, and social security made up 13.83 percent of the city’s gross value added. Industry was 17.52 percent and other services 68.65 percent.
That public share is almost twice the 7.33 percent in São Paulo and well below the 20.32 percent in Rio de Janeiro. Recife, the capital of Pernambuco, comes in at 17.05 percent.
How public hiring works here
- Federal Constitution, art. 37, II: a permanent public post requires passing a concurso público, a competitive public exam. Commissioned posts that the law declares freely appointed are the exception. Both Hemominas posts open now are commissioned posts.
- Fundação João Pinheiro and Seplag-MG, Edital 02/2026: the 2026 concurso for the EPPGG career (Especialista em Políticas Públicas e Gestão Governamental) offered 30 places and used the Enem 2026 national exam as its first stage. The top 30 then take the four-year public administration degree at the FJP school of government, and graduates are appointed to the career. Registration ran from August 24 to September 28, 2026.
- Prefeitura de Belo Horizonte: filter the Oportunidades de Trabalho page by modality (concurso público, seleção pública, processo seletivo simplificado, seleção interna or estágio) and by status to separate new selections from those already under way.
Data protection and AI rules
The national picture, including the MROSC partnership law and a glossary of Brazilian compliance terms, is in our guide to nonprofit, government and compliance jobs in Brazil. Here is how the rules apply in Belo Horizonte.
- LGPD, Lei 13.709/2018, art. 1: the law covers personal data handled by people and by organizations under public or private law, so state foundations, hospitals and nonprofits are all in scope.
- LGPD, art. 41: every controller must name an encarregado, the person who answers data subjects and the regulator. Cemig publishes a contact for its encarregado.
- Agência Nacional de Proteção de Dados: the ANPD is the national regulator for the LGPD.
- Chamber of Deputies, PL 2338/2023: Brazil has no AI law in force. The bill passed the Senate on December 10, 2024, reached the Chamber on March 17, 2025, and on November 10, 2026 was still awaiting the rapporteur’s report in the Chamber’s special committee on artificial intelligence.
Even without a law, the Hemominas data post already lists AI governance among its desirable skills.
A short history
- Prefeitura de Belo Horizonte: the city was born on December 12, 1897 as the new, planned capital of Minas Gerais, on the site of the old Arraial do Curral del Rei.
- Câmara Municipal de Belo Horizonte: a state law of December 17, 1893 named the site and set four years as the limit for moving the capital. The city opened before it was finished; the water and sewer network in the plans was still incomplete.
- Prefeitura de Belo Horizonte, July 2026: the Conjunto Moderno da Pampulha, planned in the 1940s while Juscelino Kubitschek was mayor, with work by Oscar Niemeyer, Roberto Burle Marx, Cândido Portinari and Alfredo Ceschiatti, has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since July 17, 2016.
