FATEC São Roque

What FATEC São Roque does

FATEC São Roque "Dr. Bernardino de Campos" (Faculdade de Tecnologia de São Roque) is a public, tuition-free higher education institution located in São Roque, São Paulo, Brazil, operating as a unit of the Centro Paula Souza (CEETEPS), a state government autarchy of the Government of São Paulo. Founded on September 25, 2012 by Governor Geraldo Alckmin via Decree No. 58,413, the institution was renamed by Governor Tarcísio de Freitas in May 2025 (Decree No. 69,547). It delivers four six-semester undergraduate technology programs — Sistemas para Internet, Gestão Comercial, Gestão de Turismo, and Gestão de Empreendimentos Gastronômicos — scheduled for evening and morning cohorts to accommodate working students, with ~41 staff and 44 faculty across the four programs.

The institution's technology stack is built on the centralized SIGA (Sistema Integrado de Gestão Acadêmica) for academic management, Microsoft Teams for hybrid learning delivery, the Biblio library system for resource access, and OBSTUHN, an applied research observatory producing permanent databases on tourism, hospitality, commerce, and gastronomy for the São Roque region, reactivated in 2023 after a COVID-19 suspension. Supplementary services include ARInter international exchange (with 67 international agreements), the CPS Carreiras career platform, a mentorship program with scholarship support, and an internship sector coordinating mandatory and optional placements with local employers.

Fatec São Roque generates no direct revenue from educational services; funding flows through São Paulo state budget appropriation as a public institution. Student acquisition is centralized through the Centro Paula Souza vestibular entrance exam, with secondary channels including remaining vacancy and internal transfer processes. Customer segments are primarily prospective and enrolled higher-education students from the São Roque region, supplemented by local employers seeking interns, community members in free extension courses, and students pursuing international exchange. Two certifications (Selo Aliança pela Cidadania Digital and TCU Programa Nacional de Prevenção à Corrupção) attest to compliance posture.
