Abstract

This dissertation approaches the subject matter of the professional graduation of young people, coming from a graduation and inclusion program for young people, the Projovem Urbano. In this context, the base effectiveness of the professional graduation offered by the program in the municipality of Toledo-PR was analysed in the year of 2009 and this program was concluded in the year of 2010. In order to guide the proposal of this work, we used, as a referential base, bibliographical sources based on a federal program for the education, the Projovem Urbano, and how its implantation, monitoring and evaluation were approached. We have discoursed about the characterisation of the municipality of Toledo-PR and the execution of the program, an history of the policies and public programs of professional graduation in Brazil, the professional graduation of young people inserted in the Projovem Urbano, evaluation of public policies and the effectiveness of policies and programs of professional graduation. Coming from the identified problem in this work, the research intends to verify how much the program was efficient to reach its initial goal, proposed through the professional graduation. For that, the used tool, was the interview, and the studied population was the students who have concluded all the steps of the program in 2010, which includes a 60 young people group. The results obtained from the research have permitted to know, at the exploratory step of the research, the personal, sociodemographical and educational characteristics of the young people who have run away from the regular educational system. Finally, it has permitted an evaluation of the results of the Projovem Urbano program through the vision of the students who had participated. We have observed that the goal of the professional graduation offered to the young people inserted in the program is concentrated in the development of abilities favorable to the self-knowledge, the sociability and the personal accomplishment. The sum of these factors collaborates to the professional insertion, aiming to guarantee an income to the young people, and by this way to provide their autonomy. Despite the range of benefits discerned by the program, we conclude that the professional graduation wasn t efficient in quantity. The program was more positive for young people who weren t working during the realization of this program, which was the reality of a small part of the students. We have also perceived that the effort to grade the young people in administrative area haven t added considerable benefits to the graduated students, which ones telled they have obtained better results with the General and Tecnical Formation, which one tended to the professional world preparation separated from a specific field of formation.
