O Instituto Federal do Ceará (IFCE) e o mercado de trabalho em São Gonçalo do Amarante – CE

Abstract

The capitalist restructuring has come to changes in the productive structure and in the metropolitan labor market in Fortaleza, notably in the municipalities more integrated to the national and international dynamics. Some states have benefited from industrial decentralization by strengthening local infrastructure, job growth and proximity to raw materials. Since the 1990s, incentives have been extended to Ceará, including to sectors of industry, tourism, services and export agribusiness. Inside this context, we have in the São Gonçalo do Amarante municipality the installation of the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex, which has attracted industrial units, increased expectations of income and employment, and a consequent change in the qualification base of the workforce. Thus, we sought to investigate the socio-spatial impacts of the implementation of the educational enterprise IFCE - Advanced Campus Pecém in São Gonçalo do Amarante - CE. Had as object of study the IFCE - Advanced Campus Pecém, starting its activities in 2015 in partnership with the Pecém Port and Industrial Complex to carry out the research. It uses the qualitative and quantitative approach and such as procedures: Bibliographic and Documentary Survey; Secondary data collection and Fieldwork with application of electronic forms for students and workers. As a result, was seen an increase in the schooling rate of basic education the and continued training with technical courses offered by IFCE - Campus Advanced Pecém. Thus, a higher participation rate for the 18-24 age group filling in job vacancies. The educational unit was decisive in the insertion of young people in the face of changing the economic profile of the region with spatial and labor market impacts.
