The Brazilian Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE), in collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO), has expanded the Brazilian Classification of Occupations (CBO) by adding 19 new professions.

The inclusion of these professions in the CBO will enhance visibility and recognition, providing a clearer framework for employment and career development. It underscores the ministry’s commitment to adapting to labor market changes and supporting a diverse range of professions.
Dear Sirs,
I am interested in finding out more on the requirements to be officially recognized by Brasil as a “Ufologist”. Are there specific educational requirements, or needed certifications? Are there tangible benefits to being officially recognized as a Ufologist?
Thanks very much in advance for your reply, and your time.

It is not governed by specific educational requirements or certifications like traditional professions. There are no strict educational requirements or mandatory certifications to be officially recognized as a ufologist in Brazil. Some Brazilian institutions may offer courses or workshops related to ufology, but these are often more informal and not part of traditional academic programs.
