Opis

In this work, I analyze the National Professional Training Plan (PLANFOR), implemented in 1995, from the perspective of employability, in light of structural unemployment during the Fernando Henrique Cardoso administration and within the framework of the so-called active policies of the Public Employment System. Believing the topic to be socially relevant, my main concern with it was actually sparked by my first unsettling professional experience in 1999 (working at one of the institutions implementing PLANFOR in Maceió, Alagoas), and resumed in 2006 when I came into contact with Marxist theoretical works. For the purposes of this study, I start from the understanding of qualification as a process that articulates work and education and that develops in the contradictory space between labor and capital. In addition, I address the movement of trends that arise in the face of the processes of bourgeois construction and state intervention with proposals for the professional qualification of workers, expressed, therefore, in the incessant dissemination of ideas such as entrepreneurship, employability, and citizenship.
