It analyses the conceptions on non-compulsory internship and work in Early Childhood Education from the perspective by interns and Municipal Secretaries of Education, considering whether the understanding by interviewees enables valorization, regarding the attractiveness for the Pedagogy course and for teaching carrier. Thereunto, the first section presents the non-compulsory internship relationship with changes in the world of work before the flexibility and precariousness of work spaces, from theoretical reflections by Gramsci (2009), Tonet (2010), Marx (2009;2010), Mesquita (2011), Krein (2011) and Alves (2013). Then, before empirical sources and public data on socioeconomic and educational organization, it characterizes the four towns previously mentioned to analyze the conception on non-compulsory internship and work in Early Childhood Education in the perspective of interviewees, from research data and research in loco with interns and responsible by Education in the towns studied. As a result, it identifies that non-compulsory internship conception in the towns referred is ruled by the discourse of flexible work, and the students are understood as alternative for the shortage of teacher regularly hired by tender, because of the non-periodicity in public contests.
