Industrial Social Services

SESI maintains a presence in every state in Brazil and in the Federal District of Brasília through a chain of regional departments, each of which has jurisdiction and technical, financial and administrative autonomy.

Its function is the delivery of social services in the areas of health, education, leisure, culture, food and the promotion of citizenship, having in mind improvements in quality of life among industrial workers and their families.

These schools follow a curriculum based on the competencies and skills of the Brazilian National Common Core (BNCC), focusing on active and inquiry-based learning.

The goal is to foster student agency by encouraging them to solve problems, work in teams, develop autonomy, and apply the knowledge they acquire in practical and contextual situations.

SESI Schools use technological resources like digital platforms, science and robotics labs, and maker methodologies, aiming to build learning environments that respond to contemporary demands and the transformations in the world of work.
