A policy of labor inclusion in most cases, is not a decontextualized one, as in the case of education policy, where the route of education to which people with disabilities had access, has implications for both the entrance into the world of work and for professional education in relation to the regaining of knowledge which may be prerequisites for such education. From this perspective, the aim of this paper was to analyze how the inclusion of people with disabilities in professional courses has repercussions on the education of teachers in Professional Education, in two municipalities located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. This research is characterized by a qualitative approach and the method was the case study of multiple cases, developed from questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with the participation of coordinators who are involved in the organization and promotion of professional qualification courses and the teachers involved in them. The data indicated the need of the Professional Education teacher to be perceived as a professional of education and not only a professional in technical areas, with a life trajectory that not only stands out with experiences but also; the existence of a distinguishable process between the policies of teacher education, simplified for this level of education; and the pedagogical actions that are required for the professionalization of people with disabilities. From the context investigated, the professional performance of Special Education beyond the inclusive processes of the school remit, and also in the labor context through Professional Education are valuable and beneficial.
