O programa de aprendizagem : um panorama de Cuiabá-MT e Várzea Grande-MT

Abstract

This dissertation had as object the analysis of the Learning Program as a policy for the insertion of adolescents and young people in the labor market in the municipalities of Cuiabá and Varzea Grande, in the State of Mato Grosso, from the creation of the Learning Law, Law nº 10,097 / 2000 which guarantees the professionalization and professional qualification of teenagers and young people. And we also seek to know the limits and contributions of this program to the insertion of young people into the labor market. The interest in the subject and deepening knowledge is due to our professional performance as a Social Worker in two qualifying entities of private and non-profit law, between 2014 and 2019 in the municipalities, as well as the highlighted reality of the municipalities in the comparison with others in the state. Based on this interest, the Masters in Social Politic brought us the possibility of proportion of studies on the Learning Program, and offered them as conditions to make a more systematic reading and analysis of the problem. It is an exploratory study, through bibliographical research that made it possible to identify the increase in the number of apprentices hired between the years 2016 to 2020 in the municipalities, with the majority being adolescents aged 14 to 17 years with complete elementary education and incomplete high school. Although the policy has been configured as an important instrument for the insertion of young people into the labor market, the obstacles are even greater, especially the prioritization of hiring adolescents and young people without a situation of vulnerability or social risk, and people with disabilities. Thus, we understand that its limits were present throughout the research period, especially the access and availability to the general public of the program's actual data. Finally, in terms of quantity, the program managed to expand, although it is still a great challenge for young people to complete a double day of schooling and work, and to see themselves as a worker and the space they occupy.
