He was the deputy director of the International Labour Organization's Regional Program for Employment in Latin America and the Caribbean from 1971–1974, he later worked as a consultant for a number of UN agencies active in Latin America. He completed his doctorate at Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP) in 1980.
From 1984 to 1986, he was Secretary of Education of the State of São Paulo under Governor André Franco Montoro. He left the post to take up the position of rector of UNICAMP, his former university. After finishing his term, he became the operations manager and vice president of the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington, D.C. from 1991-1994.

During his time in office, Souza oversaw the implementation of the Enem exam system. On the other hand, during the same time, federal education faced an enormous scarcity of resources, which resulted in a huge strike in all federal education establishments throughout Brazil from the second half of 2001 to the first half of 2002.
