Professional insertion of graduates of technical courses at Instituto Federal Goiano - Campus Morrinhos ( Goiano Federal Institute – Morrinhos campus ) , 2010-2014 discusses the process of professional insertion of graduates, and the perception of employers in relation to hired technical professionals. Methodologically speaking, it is characterized as an analytical research, with a quantitative approach through statistical analysis of the data collected, with field research as a technical procedure. The information was obtained through the application of questionnaires to two groups of informants, namely: graduates of technical courses, with adhesion of 98 of them, representing 44% of the total of graduates, and 11 employers operating in the region of Morrinhos - GO. It was found that 65% of graduates are working, of these number, 30% work in their area of technical training, 86% continued their studies and 53% declared to be attending or having completed a higher education course in an area related to technical training. Employers were unanimous in stating that technical training represents a differential in the worker's curriculum at the time of job selection and most of them are satisfied with the professional performance presented by the hired technicians. The development of the research indicated the need to deepen the institutional discussions on the curricular matrix of technical courses; the areas of courses which are offered and greater integration between educational institutions and the productive sector, seeking efficiency and feedback from educational policies aimed by professional and technological education.
