CAMARA, Guilherme Dornelas. TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND EMPLOYABILITY IN SOCIAL PROGRAMS: THE EXPERIENCE OF BOLSA FAMÍLIA PROGRAM AND PRONATEC IN A CITY IN THE BRAZIL-URUGUAY BORDER. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2018, vol.34, e180893.  Epub 20-Sep-2018. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698180893.

This paper aims to analyze the repercussions of the National Program for Accessing Technical Education and Employment (PRONATEC) for professional insertion and qualification. In academic debate, common sense and technical discussion about its efectiveness to end poverty, its influence in the workers’ stability in the labor market is often questioned. The path of professional insertion is generally seen as sustainable to fight the vulnerability of the families. However, few studies have been dedicated to verify the view of the beneficiaries themselves. Proposing such analysis, this paper brings data collected from interviews with beneficiaries of PRONATEC and Bolsa Família Program (PBF) in a city in the Brazil-Uruguay border. The programs’ economic importance to the families is approached facing the difficulties of the local labor market.

Palabras clave : PRONATEC; Professional education; Employability; Social programs.
