Construção de identidades profissionais: da formação profissional à vivência da inserção no mercado de trabalho

Abstract

This article deals with the process of professional identity construction in the context of professional education into the labor market. It was based on a qualitative research conducted at an institution of professional education, with the participation of students and teachers, whose objective was to understand the processes of socialization and construction of identity types in the course of the professional education and experience of entering the labor market. With ethnographic and ethnomethodological approach, we sought to understand the educational and professional career (the course starts to move into the labor market) through participant observation, interviews, questionnaires and document analysis. As theoretical support highlighted the contributions of Dubar (1997, 1998) with his study of identity configurations. The results showed that the courses have contributed to the construction of identity types, especially the identity for the job. This, in turn, when the experience of work, was rebuilt in two, new corporate identity new occupation identity. The identity types found have distinguished themselves in identity in formation (school performance) and identity in exercise (career).
