Abstract

Inserted in the Educational area, connected to the field of the Social Movements, this research objectified to analyze the interaction of the black egresses students of the Electro technical Course of the Federal Center for Technological Education of Mato Grosso (CEFETMT) concerning the world market. It was carried out in the continuation of biennium 2006-2007, in the city of Cuiabá in the state of Mato Grosso. It was looked for to reveal the successive barriers that the black students face when going to the world market and their adequacies offered by a technical professionalizing education. This study had a qualitative approach; the investigation was based on the narratives offered by means of the sample consisting of eighteen egressed students of the CEFETMT, all of them black in a gradation scale that includes the categories of colors: black, mulatos and medium brown, who are inserted in the world market. For the data gathering it was used the instrument of open interviews. The analyses were based on the authors who discuss about institutional professionalizing education, as well as, the ones who have been debating the questions related to the prejudice and preconception concerning to the afro-Brazilians populations, as: Nogueira (1998) and Schwarcz (2002) who research the color classification in Brazil. Müller (1999) and Cavalleiro (2000) who offer theoretical sources for the agreement of the process of identity construction. The theme of social ascension is analyzed under the lenses theoretician-methodological of Hasenbalg (2005), Teixeira (2003a) and Pastore (1979). The results revealed that there is a cordial discriminatory relation in the technician-professionalizing formation of the black students and the selective competitive world market. Based on the investigated student’s oral narratives it was possible to evidence that they feel proud for having studied at the CEFETMT. In addition to this assumption, they expressed their gratitude for the institution, affirming that it provided conditions for their access in the world market. In accordance with analyzed literature it was possible to infer that only few black students are the ones who are able to transpose the educational barrier to reach valued social occupations. It was obvious that many of these black students have been stood in the world market that for any other circumstance does not propitiate them social mobility.
