What if your first job changed lives, including your own?

At EF Language Abroad, we believe that learning a language abroad is one of the most transformative experiences a person can have. And we need passionate, driven people to help make that happen. That's where you come in.

We're looking for a Trainee, or "Filtrino," as we proudly call it internally, to join our team in São Paulo, Brazil. This is your chance to kick off your career in a global company, work alongside an energetic and ambitious team, and help people take the leap toward a life-changing experience abroad.

You'll be the first point of contact for our future students: qualifying leads, sparking conversations, and connecting the right people to the right opportunities. No fluff, no busy work, just real impact, real growth, and a team that's genuinely rooting for you from day one.


Your main responsibilities are:

  • Conduct pre-qualifying conversations to assess client fit and interest level.
  • Engage with potential students through social channel messaging, maintaining a consistent and professional communication flow.
  • Actively participate in Information Meetings to support the team in presenting our programs.

Beyond Sales, A Little Bit of Everything


As part of a dynamic team, you may also get involved in supporting marketing campaigns and events, helping with school and university outreach, maintaining our database, and assisting with customer service tasks like flight bookings and student records.

 

Requirements:

              

  • Education: High School degree or equivalent. No prior work or sales experience required — this role is built for someone ready to learn and grow with us!

  • Customer-Oriented Mindset: Passion for helping people and building genuine connections.
  • Adaptability & Resilience: Ability to thrive in a dynamic environment, stay positive under pressure, and occasionally work on weekends when needed.
  • Team Player: Collaborative, open-minded, and comfortable working with colleagues from diverse backgrounds.

About Us
Some companies are in the business of banking. Others are in the business of shoes. Or sports. Or soft drinks. At EF, we're in a different kind of business. One that's a little less tangible, and a lot more important. Because our business, what we make, makes everything else possible. We're in the business of understanding. Between people. Between cultures.
 
For over half a century we’ve been the leader in international educational programs and experiences designed to foster such understanding.  Through language, cultural exchange, academic studies, and educational travel, we create the kinds of immersive experiences that challenge biases, open minds, and pave the way for a more understanding world. 
 
You’ll find our offices and schools located in some of the world’s greatest cities, and filled with smart, driven people (over 50,000 of us) who push each other to be better every day. But it’s what we do together - building greater understanding, breaking down barriers, and creating a better world - that makes all the difference. 
 
Founded in 1965 in Sweden, EF (Education First) is a global association of education companies that share a common mission of opening the world through education. EF has been recognized on Forbes 2025 and 2024 World’s Best Employers and 2024 Top Companies for Women lists, Fast Company’s 2025 Next Big Things In Tech, and was a 2024 App Store Award winner in Cultural Impact.
