Fabet

What Fabet does

Fabet (Fundação Adolpho Bósio de Educação no Transporte) is a Brazilian non-profit foundation founded in 1997 and headquartered in Concárdia, Santa Catarina, with a branch in Mairinque, São Paulo. The organization specializes in professional training for the transportation sector, offering a portfolio that includes the Caminhão Escola truck driving school (including a dedicated program for women drivers), mandatory MOPP dangerous goods certification (50-hour course priced at R$285), corporate in-company training ('FABET nas Empresas'), fleet manager development, logistics and supply chain training, robotics education, and an EaD distance learning platform. Documented case studies demonstrate quantified client outcomes, including a Vale Log engagement that reportedly achieved R$4 million in annual fuel savings through training 268 professionals, and a Coopercarga relationship covering 1,500+ drivers across Brazil and Mercosul.

The business model combines low-ticket individual course enrollment (MOPP at R$285, Caminhão Escola programs) with higher-value enterprise training contracts delivered on-site at client facilities. Distribution relies on direct enrollment via phone, WhatsApp, and website forms; physical training centers in Concárdia-SC and Mairinque-SP; customized corporate delivery; and an emerging online channel via the EaD platform. Marketing is driven by content (blog, social media on Facebook and Instagram), industry events, partnerships with transportation associations such as Fetrancesc, and government program participation including the CNH Emprego na Pista initiative. Technology infrastructure is minimal and outsourced — Fabet uses a third-party student information system (Ciaporte) for student/teacher portals and a standard website stack, with no proprietary technology platform or AI capabilities disclosed.

Customer segments span transport companies and cooperatives (primary, enterprise), individual truck drivers seeking certification (B2C), women entering the trucking profession (emerging persona), and fleet managers requiring executive development. The organization operates under non-profit foundation governance with Diretor-Geral Herbert Kaiser leading the 2023-2027 board term, serving clients across southern Brazil and Mercosul countries through a 51-100 employee headcount across two physical locations plus distributed in-company delivery.
