Naples, competition for 130 positions at the municipality: 12 thousand applications received

The Municipality of Naples has launched a competition in 2024 for 130 jobs, attracting 12.000 applications.

The competition offers opportunities for 50 full-time, permanent technical instructors and 80 positions among administrative profiles, technical-economic officials, local police officers and social workers on a fixed-term basis.

The application deadline was August 25, 2024, with a total of 11.763 applicants registered. Competition is high, with only about 1 in 100 applicants being successful. However, for some positions such as social workers, there will be no pre-selection test due to lower demand.

The rehearsals will presumably be held at the Mostra d'Oltremare starting from the end of September 2024.

It is the third public competition of the Manfredi era

This is the third major public competition organized by the Municipality under the administration of the mayor Gaetano Manfredi, directly managed by the Municipality, unlike previous competitions managed by Ripam Formez. The administration has already hired approximately 2.000 people, with potential for additional positions as the rankings continue.

The competition was approved with the City Council resolution 290 of July 19 and is aimed at both high school and college graduates, with tests that include a pre-selection, a written test and, for local police officers, a physical fitness test.

The hirings are financed by various funds, including the 2020 Poverty Fund, the 2024-26 Urban Security Fund and the Bradyseism Fund, with contracts regulated by the CCNL of the Local Authorities sector.

Overall, the Municipality of Naples will hire 130 staff members.
