Catalan term or phrase: les opos cauen dins de treball
This is from the same project as the last few question I have asked here. It is a big list of offices and administrations of the generalitat or subjects of interest related to the generalitat or any of its adminstrations/bodies.

Section: Treball
Subsection: Oposició

These three lines appear under the subsection header, seemingly out of place:

No hi ha un formulari DIRIP
hi ha grans àrees temàtiques d'interès
les opos cauen dins de treball

(opos are oposicines, I assume)

Section contents:
Bombers
Places d'auxiliars forestals per a les campanyes d'estiu.

English translation:the civil service exams are part of the 'Oficina de Treball' section
Explanation:
I have a sneaky suspicion that this is what they are referring to - after seeing a couple of your earlier questions. They use the word 'treball' to refer to the Employment Office (or whatever you have decided to call it). And, since you say there are several sections in the text, I imagine that the 'opos' come under this heading - i.e. the 'Treball' section.

I hope that makes sense!

Of course, I could be barking up the wrong tree - and Berni's answer is totally possible too.

Good luck!

Civil service entrance exams


Explanation:
I'd read that as: "The dates for the Civil service entrance exams fall within a working week" Or in an educational context "coincide with term time" or "class time".

It happened this year that the Cambridge First Certificate exam coincided with one of the "Selectivitat" dates. Perhaps this is a similar complaint. Don't you just hate phrases left in texts apparently without context? Worthwhile asking the client. Often these phrases should have been edited out anyway and they'll thank you for pointing that out.

CSEE - is for a UK Audience. Public/State Employee Exam in the US???

It could also imply that preparation for the "oppos" would form part of the job.

Asker: That explains why the text is out of place - they are instructions and not part of the main text. Thanks.
