Overview
- Fiesp confirmed a 2024 educational agreement with Instituto Iter that gives member companies discounted access to courses, with the first class priced at R$1,500 per student.
- The federation said 95 people are expected in the initial offering, which would generate about R$142,500 for the institute under the partnership.
- Fiesp appears as amicus curiae in three cases under André Mendonça’s rapporteurship at Brazil’s Supreme Court, including a dispute over payroll taxes on transit and meal benefits.
- Court records show Mendonça initially denied Fiesp’s amicus request on August 29, 2025, then reversed the decision about a month later to allow its participation.
- Instituto Iter lists Integre—owned by André and Janey Mendonça—as its majority shareholder and is led by former education minister Victor Godoy; the institute says the minister only performs teaching activities, and both Iter and Fiesp reject any conflict of interest.
