SOUZA TANO, Cleide Francisca de et al. EDUCATIONAL APPARATUS PROMOTED BY THE STATE FOR EMPLOYABILITY. Rev. Exitus [online]. 2020, vol.10, e020122.  Epub Mar 31, 2022. ISSN 2237-9460.  https://doi.org/10.24065/2237-9460.2020v10n1id1506.

This article aims to discuss the educational apparatus promoted by the State in favor of employability and reduction of social inequalities, starting in the 2000s, in response to market / capital demands, aiming to better understand the nuances of these measures. It is an integral part of the author's doctoral thesis, defended in December 2019, with guidance from the co-authors. The methodology adopted was bibliographic research and documentary research, in a critical historical perspective. The paper presents considerations on the context and historicity of the worker training policy, presenting data on professional education and its perspectives, covering the expansion of the professional and technological education network and dealing more specifically with the Instituto Federal do Triângulo Mineiro - IFTM and the relationship of its courses with the agro-industry sector of Uberlândia, besides presenting nuances of schooling, remuneration and formal employment in Uberlândia. Among the authors that support the research, we highlight Hobsbawm (2015); Batista (2015); Cury (2014); Saviani (2005); Lucena (2014); Fagiani and Previtali (2014); Tano (2016) and Ciavatta (2010). This article helps to better understand the policies elaborated by the State, which bring within them the argument of encouraging employability and the reduction of social inequalities, but which, in reality, cannot change what is set regarding unemployment, because in the historical development of the capitalist system unemployment is a remarkable feature. We hope that this work will contribute to reflections both on employment and on the educational apparatus promoted by the State and on the effectiveness of government policies.

Keywords : Professional education; Employability; Uberlândia agro-industrial productive sector.
