# The 30 largest education providers in Brasília

Tamtam tracks 38 education providers headquartered in Brasília. This list ranks the 30 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by SESI - Serviço Social da Indústria / Departamento Nacional, SEBRAE and Universidade de Brasília. Their median headcount is 1,282. Half of them were founded in 1972 or later.

The largest education providers in Brasília include a mix of large public institutions and private educational groups. Organizations like SESI and SENAI focus on industrial training and social welfare, while SEBRAE supports small businesses with consulting and training. Prestigious universities such as Universidade de Brasília and Universidade Católica de Brasília offer extensive academic programs. Embrapa specializes in agricultural research, and Ebserh manages a network of public hospitals, also contributing to medical education.

Several entities like RENAPSI and CNEC are dedicated to vocational training and social inclusion, particularly for youth. GRAN operates as an education and technology ecosystem, providing diverse courses. The concentration of these large educational and training bodies, many founded in the mid-20th century, highlights Brasília's role as a hub for both public service-oriented education and private academic development.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
