What Centro De Integracao Empresa-escola Do Estado De Santa Catarina - Ciee-sc does

CIEE SC (Centro de Integração Empresa-Escola do Estado de Santa Catarina) is a non-profit social assistance entity (entidade beneficente de assistência social, sem fins lucrativos) founded in 1984 and headquartered in Florianópolis, Brazil. The organization operates throughout the state of Santa Catarina through ten regional units (Florianópolis, Chapecó, Criciúma, Itajaí, Jaraguá do Sul, Lages, Rio do Sul, São Miguel do Oeste, Tubarão, and Caçador), connecting students aged 14 and above with internship and youth apprenticeship opportunities. It serves as the official intermediary recognized under Brazil's apprenticeship law (Lei da Aprendizagem, Lei 10.097/2000) and internship law (Lei 11.788/2008), operating a network of more than 5,000 registered partner companies spanning banking, energy, retail, government, and technology sectors. Beyond placement, CIEE SC delivers socio-educational workshops (Oficinas Socioeducativas — OSE), pedagogical monitoring, and pre-apprenticeship projects (Pré-Aprendizagem TransformAÇÃO and Pré-Aprendizagem Profissional) funded by the Fundo Estadual para a Infância e Adolescência (FIA-SC) and Fundo Municipal para a Infância e Adolescência.

The organization's technology stack centers on a self-serve web portal ecosystem: cadastro.centralcieesc.org.br for student and company registration, ciee.sc/vagas for the public job board, and a separate selective-process portal (ciee.sc/ProcessoSeletivo). The platform supports filtering by region, course, and vacancy type, and integrates with a database of partner companies and registered talent. An AI-powered WhatsApp assistant named "Aliciee" handles inbound inquiries, registration support, and vacancy guidance. Content distribution is layered across a blog (career guidance, NR-1 compliance, Gen Z workforce trends), Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, email, and in-person events including career fairs and employer forums.

CIEE SC's revenue derives from two streams: (1) administrative fees charged to companies upon hiring an intern or apprentice, covering recruitment, documentation, contract management, and pedagogical monitoring, and (2) government funding through social-assistance funds (FIA-SC and municipal equivalents) for specific pre-apprenticeship projects. Student registration is free, company registration is free, and fees are incurred only upon a successful hire — a transaction-based model with no public pricing schedule. Go-to-market combines self-serve digital acquisition with direct outreach to companies, school partnerships, and regional in-person presence.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Fundação Bradesco: Large Brazilian foundation offering free vocational and technical training programs that prepare youth for the workforce. Comparable as a scaled nonprofit addressing youth employability, though it operates its own schools rather than an intermediation model.
• Instituto Ayrton Senna: Major Brazilian education nonprofit focused on youth skills development and educational outcomes. Adjacent mission (youth empowerment) but focuses on K-12 educational content rather than direct labor-market placement.
• Vagas.com: One of Brazil's largest online job boards connecting candidates and employers. Comparable as a digital channel for job vacancies but operates a generic hiring model rather than a regulated apprenticeship intermediary.

Regional players

• CIEE-RS: The Rio Grande do Sul state unit of the CIEE network, operating the same internship/apprenticeship intermediation model in a neighboring Brazilian state. Highly comparable in structure and services but does not directly compete with CIEE SC within Santa Catarina.

Direct peers

• Agiel: Brazilian intermediary specializing in Jovem Aprendiz program administration for companies seeking to meet legal quotas. Directly comparable to CIEE SC's apprenticeship management services and corporate compliance support.
• ESPRO (Ensino Social Profissionalizante): Brazilian nonprofit focused on inserting young people into the workforce via Jovem Aprendiz programs, partnering with companies nationwide. Highly comparable in mission, regulatory intermediation, and youth-employer matching services.
• Nube (Núcleo Brasileiro de Estágios): Major Brazilian internship and youth-apprenticeship placement platform serving thousands of companies and students nationwide. Comparable as a competitor in the same regulatory apprenticeship market but operates with a more technology-centric, for-profit structure.
• CIEE (Centro de Integração Empresa-Escola): National parent organization of the CIEE network in Brazil, operating the same internship and apprenticeship placement model across most Brazilian states. CIEE SC is essentially the Santa Catarina franchise of this entity; comparison is direct on services, regulatory positioning, and target audiences.
• Instituto Joule: Brazilian nonprofit focused on youth professional development and insertion into the labor market through partnerships with companies. Comparable in mission (youth employability), beneficiary profile (young learners), and corporate partnership model.

Emerging players

• Gupy: Brazilian HR tech platform providing recruitment, selection, and talent-management software to companies. Adjacent competitor for employer-side hiring budgets, though it focuses on tech-enabled ATS rather than the apprenticeship regulatory niche.
