Problem
Brazilian immigrants in the United States often lack access to professional development that aligns with U.S. workplace standards, faces language barriers, and receives little mentorship from peers who have already navigated the local job market. This gap limits their ability to acquire market‑relevant skills, obtain recognized credentials, and accelerate career progression.
Solution
Biz US Academy delivers an online learning platform tailored to Brazilian professionals living in the U.S. The platform hosts modular, practice‑oriented courses that teach U.S. business concepts using clear Portuguese explanations while incorporating the specific terminology and processes of the American market. Learners receive digitally verifiable certificates that integrate with common credentialing systems, and they can join a curated community for peer networking and knowledge sharing. Dedicated mentors—Brazilian experts who are currently employed in U.S. firms—provide personalized guidance through 1‑on‑1 sessions and group workshops. The system is built on a scalable SaaS learning‑management architecture, enabling flexible, self‑paced study on any device and seamless integration with corporate HR portals. Instructors can publish their own programs on the marketplace and earn a revenue share, expanding the content ecosystem without additional platform overhead.
Target Audience
Primary users are Brazilian professionals residing in the United States who seek to upskill for U.S. roles, as well as U.S. companies looking to train and integrate Brazilian talent into their workforce.
