SESI - Educação de Jovens e Adultos: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how SESI provides flexible education programs for workers and their families in Brazil to help improve job opportunities.

This program offers flexible education pathways designed specifically for adults who need to complete their studies while managing other responsibilities.

Who it's for

This scheme is specifically designed for workers and their families. It is intended for adults who may have had their education interrupted and are looking for a way to return to their studies. By including family members, the program aims to support the educational growth of the entire household connected to the workforce.

What you get

You can access education programs that are designed with flexibility in mind. These programs are structured to accommodate the schedules of working adults, making it much easier to balance your learning with your professional shifts and your family needs. This flexibility is intended to help you improve your skills, which can lead to better job opportunities and career advancement in the future.

What it costs you

The cost of these educational programs is often subsidized for workers within the industry. Because the system is supported by industry contributions, the fees are typically more accessible than standard private education. You should check with the provider regarding the specific costs applicable to your specific employment status and family connection.

The catch to know

The main thing to verify is whether your employer contributes to the SESI system. Because the benefits and subsidies are tied to this system, your access to specific pricing or program types may depend on your company's status and their contributions to the "Sistema S."

How to apply

  1. Confirm with your employer if they are a contributing company to the SESI system.
  2. Reach out to a local SESI unit to ask about the specific education programs currently available in your area.
  3. Ask about the enrollment process and what specific documentation is required for workers and their families.
  4. Inquire about the current fee structure to see how much of a subsidy applies to your specific situation.
