It starts from the first technical reports and the definition and implementation of priority actions to actually pursue the objectives of the program and take the greatest possible advantage of the movement to expand the number of vacancies in professional education, contributing thus to fulfill institutional goals. The present case is an attempt to demonstrate that the Pronatec can contribute to innovation in education and, in some cases, signal to the federal system the immediate and necessary changes, especially in approaching the public they wish to assist, creating strategies to maintain that public in the school and contributing to the construction of their full and required citizenship.
