IEL Alagoas

What IEL Alagoas does

IEL Alagoas (legal name: Instituto Euvaldo Lodi Núcleo Regional de Alagoas) is a non-profit institution founded in 1970 in Maceió, Alagoas, Brazil, operating as part of the Sistema FIEA industrial education ecosystem alongside FIEA, SESI/AL, and SENAI/AL. The organization provides workforce development services to industrial companies in Alagoas, operating internship programs, young apprentice programs, executive education, business training, management consulting, and sectoral diagnostics. It serves as the statutory intermediary under Brazilian internship law (Lei 11.788/2008) and apprenticeship law (Lei 10.097/2000), connecting students from more than 360 MEC-regulated educational institutions with corporate employers. Its technology backbone is the web-based Plataforma de Carreiras, which handles vacancy posting, recruitment, contract closure, and financial tracking, integrated with the national Sistema Nacional de Estágio (SNE).

The organization delivers services through two physical offices (Maceió headquarters at Casa da Indústria Napoleão Barbosa and an Arapiraca regional unit), supplemented by self-service online platforms and direct contact channels (telephone, WhatsApp Business, in-person consultations). Product portfolio spans four integrated service areas: Career Development (internships, Young Apprentice, Programa Foco na Carreira), Business Education (Capacitação Empresarial, executive education, MBA in partnership with Faculdade das Indústrias, EAD courses, In-Company training, Supervisor Development), Studies and Research (Diagnósticos Setoriais, sectoral diagnostics), and Management Solutions (consulting, innovation management, design thinking). Distribution is regional within Alagoas and Northeast Brazil, with access to a national network of 92 IEL units and a cumulative track record of more than 1.8 million young people placed in companies across Brazil.

Revenue is generated through professional services including consulting, executive education, business training, internship program administration, and institutional support from parent entities FIEA, SESI/AL, and SENAI/AL. Specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. The organization employs 33 people and serves both individual students/young professionals and corporate clients. Strategic positioning is reinforced by recent selections in CNI's Edital Lidera program (R$100,000 award for a female leadership project) and the Centelha 3 innovation program (up to 47 projects, R$130,000 per initiative).

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• SENAI (Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Industrial): Parent ecosystem member of Sistema FIEA; offers vocational and industrial training that complements IEL's career development services. Comparable as the broader industrial-education incumbent under the same federation umbrella.
• SEBRAE (Serviço Brasileiro de Apoio às Micro e Pequenas Empresas): Brazilian non-profit supporting small business development and entrepreneurship. Comparable to IEL's consulting, training, and innovation programs serving Alagoas-based industrial companies.
• Catho: Brazil's largest online recruitment and job-matching platform. Comparable to IEL's career platform in function (matching candidates to employers) but operating at national scale and including white-collar roles beyond internships/apprenticeships.
• SESI (Serviço Social da Indústria): Co-founding institution of IEL in 1970 alongside FIEA and SENAI. Provides health, education, and social services to industry workers — partly adjacent to IEL's workforce development and training business.
• Vagas.com: Major Brazilian job board and talent-matching platform. Comparable as an alternative channel through which companies can source young talent and run internship/entry-level programs without an integration agent.
• Indeed Brasil: Global job-matching platform with strong Brazilian presence. Comparable as a competing sourcing channel for the same student and apprentice candidate pool that IEL aggregates from its 360+ educational institution partnerships.

Direct peers

• CIEE (Centro de Integração Empresa-Escola): Brazil's largest non-profit internship and apprenticeship integration agent, directly comparable to IEL's core Programs de Estágio and Jovem Aprendiz offerings. Operates a similar legal-compliance intermediation model under the same Lei 11.788/2008 framework.
• Cia de Estágios: Brazilian internship and apprenticeship management firm with a tech platform (Trampay) for stage management. Direct competitor in the corporatization of internship program administration using legal compliance frameworks similar to IEL's.
• NUBE (Núcleo Brasileiro de Estágios): Brazilian internship and trainee placement firm operating a digital-first platform — directly comparable to IEL's Plataforma de Carreiras. Targets the same student/corporate market with a more technology-led approach.
• Estagiário.com: Online internship and entry-level job platform connecting students with companies across Brazil. Comparable to IEL's career platform from a candidate-sourcing and matching angle, though more digital-native and less focused on apprenticeship compliance.
