Industrial federation operating education, healthcare, and workforce development across Santa Catarina
FIESC is a federation system of five entities serving Santa Catarina's industrial sector—education (SENAI), social services (SESI), research (IEL), and industry representation (FIESC/CIESC). The hiring profile is heavily weighted toward education roles (271 of 478 active positions), with secondary clusters in operations and healthcare, indicating FIESC functions primarily as a workforce development and social services backbone for regional industry rather than a traditional trade association.
FIESC was founded in 1950 as a federation system to strengthen Santa Catarina's industrial development. The organization operates five distinct entities: the Federation of Industries of Santa Catarina (FIESC), the Industrial Social Service (SESI/SC), the National Industrial Educational Program (SENAI/SC), the Santa Catarina Center of Industry (CIESC), and the Euvaldo Lodi Institute (IEL/SC). Together, the system delivers social services, vocational and technical education, healthcare, research, and industry representation across all industrial segments in the state. FIESC employs 5,001–10,000 people across these entities, with operations headquartered in Florianópolis. The organization is funded by and administered according to the governance standards of private enterprise, despite its nonprofit classification.
