Nonprofit connecting students and apprentices to employment across Brazil
CIEE is a Brazilian nonprofit operating 135 training centers and 76 service points that placed 180,000 interns and 62,000 apprentices into work in 2024 alone. The tech stack reflects an operations-heavy organization: Salesforce for recruitment workflows, Zendesk for support, Mailchimp for candidate engagement, plus analytics (Google Analytics, Hotjar, SAS/SQL). Hiring velocity is accelerating with 42 roles posted in the last month, heavily weighted toward interns (32 open positions) and operational roles—a staffing pattern consistent with scaling program delivery rather than building new product.
CIEE connects young people and students to employment opportunities at major Brazilian companies through internship programs, apprenticeships, and socio-educational support. Founded in 1964, the organization has placed over 7 million young people into work across its history, operating entirely free of charge to participants. The operational infrastructure spans 135 training centers, 33 service units, and 76 service points throughout Brazil. For employers, CIEE manages recruitment, selection, onboarding, and retention of young workers. Core challenges include managing apprenticeship compliance, reducing no-shows in internship cohorts, family engagement in socio-educational outcomes, and business expansion into underserved regions.
