Professional training in a quilombola context: between local development and training for life

Abstract

The research in question analyzes the potential of the Novos Caminhos program, which promotes initial and continuing training courses for professional qualification, via the Federal Institutes of Education. The research space will be the Quilombola community Tabuleiro dos Negros, which for us, is a social space, where individual agents who can develop their social, cultural and economic activities, through the promotion of training courses that improve their practices and enable innovation, in relation to what they already practice can be found. The theoretical method is based on the implicit idea of cultural capital by formal education and the data collection methodology in the field (protected by security protocols and data use authorization) with the focus group, composed by young people from the community. The treatment of data will be via content analysis and the means of intervention, in the case of an action research is the formation of a catalog of courses, along with analysis of its applicability and importance.
