CIEE - Centro de Integração Empresa-Escola

CIEE (Centro de Integração Empresa-Escola) is a Brazilian non-profit organization that has worked for more than 60 years to connect young people and students with the labor market through partnerships between businesses, schools, and public institutions. Founded in São Paulo, CIEE's core activities are built around Brazil's legally established apprenticeship and internship frameworks, administering the Programa Aprendiz and internship placement programs that place students and young professionals in paid, supervised positions with partner companies nationwide. The organization operates through a national network of regional units and semi-autonomous state-level chapters, such as CIEE/SP, CIEE/PR, and CIEE/ES, several of which gained their own legal, financial, and administrative independence over time while remaining part of the broader CIEE structure. CIEE provides training workshops, career-readiness lectures, and skill-development courses for students and educators, while also supporting employer companies in meeting Brazil's apprenticeship and internship compliance requirements. Through collaborations with public agencies, social assistance programs, professional associations, and public and private schools, CIEE aims to widen access to early career opportunities for Brazilian youth.
