MEDIATION BETWEEN THE SECONDARY SCHOOL AND THE WORKING WORLD IN TECHNICIANS TRAINING IN BRAZIL

Abstract This paper analyzes the mediation between the school and the employment market in the mid-level technical training in Brazilian teaching institutions belonging to the Rede Federal de Educação Profissional, Científica e Tecnológica that materializes mainly through supervised internship activities. The paper's goal is to explain to what extent the mediation between school and employment market has been perverted by market logic, shifting the supervised internship activities of the teaching field to the field of workforce intermediation, giving it precarious job character. This is a basic research, developed by qualitative analysis, pointing as a result the distinction of conceptions and practices internship supervised in two categories. The first categorie is inserted in the pragmatic training perspective and another which is inserted in the omnilateral training perspective. The author points out the predominance of the pragmatic prospect of training in actions and conceptions of mediation between school and the employment market, which corrupts the internship activities supervised, giving it characteristics of precarious work.
