The Work Psychology Studies’ Program - NUTRA, in portuguese - characterized since 1994 as a research, extension and teaching program of the Department of Psychology from the Federal University of Ceara (UFC, in portuguese), has emerged of the desire and the need to promote the discussion of Work Psychology. It enables a feld that allows the expansion of the students’ knowledge in this subject. Currently, the program intends to discuss the Social Psychology of Work as a scientifc subject and a professional field, through a theoretical and methodological deliberation, which is committed with social emancipation, and to bring contributions to researches, as well as teaching and extension experiences, enabling the diffusion of those knowledges in society. In 2014, the NUTRA completed 20 years of activities, and has developed many researches and projects, such as “Complementary Formation”, “Study Groups”, “Cinema and Work”, “Integrated Seminars of Work”, “Interventions in Institutions”, “Round Tables”, and others substantial projects. Nowadays, as the result of the work developed by the NUTRA, the program counts with many institutional partnerships, acting as a communication channel with society, contributing through their studies and researches to students’ and professionals’ acquirements in Social Psychology of Work and promoting questions about the labour relations that are established contemporarily.
