What Sescoop/AC does

Sescoop/AC (Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem do Cooperativismo do Estado do Acre) is a private non-profit civil society organization operating as part of Brazil's national "Sistema S" cooperative learning system. The organization provides training, professional development, governance support, ESG advisory, and institutional representation services to 57 registered cooperatives with over 57,000 members across seven sectors including credit, extractivism, family agriculture, health, production, transportation, and consumption in the state of Acre. Headquartered in Rio Branco alongside its affiliated entity OCB/AC, Sescoop/AC operates with approximately 10 employees and is funded through mandatory contributions collected from registered cooperatives under Brazil's cooperative law framework.

The organization's core technology is a Plataforma EAD (distance learning platform) that supports its CapacitaCoop professional training programs, including the Aprendiz Cooperativo apprentice program and certification courses such as CPA 10 for credit cooperative professionals. Its product portfolio is structured as eight sub-branded modules: AvaliaCoop (performance assessment across identity, governance, ESG, and business dimensions), CapacitaCoop (training and EAD delivery), CulturaCoop (cooperative culture education including Cooperjovem, DNA Cooperativo, Jogar + Aprender), ESGCoop (environmental, social, governance solutions), InovaCoop (innovation platform hosted at inova.coop.br), NegóciosCoop (national and international market access), RepresentaCoop (institutional agenda, political education, international affairs), and SouCoop (registration and member services). Distribution occurs via direct training at the Rio Branco headquarters, the EAD platform, and on-site training at cooperative facilities across Acre municipalities.

Sescoop/AC's revenue model is subscription-recurring in nature, derived from mandatory contributions collected by the national Sistema S framework from all registered cooperatives in Brazil and allocated to state-level entities. As a non-profit, no commercial pricing is disclosed for individual programs. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer in the sense that services are delivered directly to cooperative members and employees through institutional channels, supplemented by institutional events, conferences, and digital presence across website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Flickr. Strategic partnerships with UFAC, SEBRAE, CIEE, IFAC, ApexBrasil, FUNTAC, ABDI, MDA, and Aleac extend the organization's reach into academic, governmental, and international trade development channels.
