'Eingliedern' (to integrate) is a separable verb. The prefix 'ein-' goes at the end in a main clause. In a subordinate clause or infinitive with 'zu', the verb stays together.
Der Verein gliedert neue Mitglieder schnell ein.
The club integrates new members quickly.
The word contains the stem 'Glied', which means 'part' or 'member'. 'Eingliedern' therefore describes the process of making someone or something part of a larger whole.
Die kleine Firma wurde in den großen Konzern eingegliedert.
The small company was integrated into the large corporation.
The verb 'eingliedern' is almost always used with the preposition 'in' followed by the accusative. The pattern is: jemanden/sich/etwas in etwas (accusative) eingliedern.
Er hat sich schnell in die neue Klasse eingegliedert.
He quickly integrated into the new class.
When a person actively integrates themself, the verb is used reflexively: 'sich eingliedern' (to integrate oneself). The subject of the sentence is then the person who adapts.
Nach dem Umzug musste sie sich in der neuen Nachbarschaft erst eingliedern.
After the move, she first had to integrate into the new neighborhood.

'aufnehmen' and 'eingliedern' can both mean that someone or something becomes part of a group, organization, or larger structure. 'aufnehmen' often describes the first step: a group, school, company, or household takes someone in or admits someone. 'eingliedern' places more emphasis on the process that follows: the person or unit adapts and really becomes part of the whole. So you can be 'in einen Verein aufgenommen' (admitted to a club) and later 'sich dort eingliedern' (integrate there). The words can be confused because both have to do with integration. As a practical rule: 'aufnehmen' fits better for the decision or entry, while 'eingliedern' fits better for fitting into an existing structure.
