Abstract

This dissertation was developed in the Postgraduate Program in Professional and Technological Education (ProfEPT), offered by the Instituto Federal Goiano – Campus Ceres, aiming to understand the perspectives of emancipation of young workers in the agricultural area at the Instituto Federal Goiano – Campus Ceres regarding Professional and Technological Education and Work. As for the method selected for the research, the case study was chosen and was based on a qualitative approach, through bibliographical survey, selection, collection and analysis of official documents of the investigated institution and the application of the research questionnaire. The research sample was defined by 20 students enrolled in the 3rd year of the Technical Course in Agriculture Integrated to High School, who participated in the public for the investigation. Data collection was complemented with the instrument of the semi-structured questionnaire and documentary analysis, allowing a rich understanding of the developments related to the formative path of EPT, especially in the technical course in agriculture integrated to high school. The research sought to explore how training in the agricultural area meets the prospects for emancipation of young workers, considering the professional and career aspirations of these individuals. Data analysis was carried out through the reading and successive analysis of bibliographic data and the content of the questionnaire; comparison of recurring information and content analysis, that is, the opinions of the participating individuals will be collected and analyzed and treated in light of Bardin's theory (2016). The results indicate that students of the technical course in agriculture believe that the career established through this training allows for autonomy, as these individuals are qualified and able to be inserted into the world of work. The Educational Product Training Memorial: training experiences of young workers in the agricultural sector in the form of a booklet, developed based on this research, presents reports on the students' journey through the course's training path, seeking to motivate other young people to become interested in the course and for those students enrolled in this training. The product was presented and validated by third-year students of the agricultural course. The research data indicate that this training provides the skills required for the agricultural sector, in addition to playing a fundamental role in the social transformation in the lives of young people in achieving autonomy. The research data show that the proposal for EPT training is not limited to qualifying the worker, thinking only about technical skills, knowledge and abilities. This education seeks to promote teaching based on the various formative dimensions of the human being, placing humanist values as fundamental, both for professional practice and for the exercise of citizenship. The students' memories demonstrate that IF Goiano - Campus Ceres is much more than a school - it is an institution committed to the comprehensive and humanized education of its students, enabling the achievement of emancipation.
