In theory we discuss work, education and the development such as intrinsic characteristics essential to human, analyzing historically the contexts, ideologies, lemmas and dilemmas that relating to worker formation to social division of labor and the exigencies of qualifications under the capitalist mode of production. Configured in the public politic of professional education with the decree nº2208 / 1997 and the prospect of overcoming this trend with the revocation of this, by Decree nº5154 / 2004 proposing the implementation of the Integrated High School, desiring a new direction for the practical formation of workers, based in the work as the educational principle and the unitary school as driving forces for polytechnic training, directed to the humanizing development as expansion of freedom strategy that allows human beings, or practice that has been violated, interacting and influencing the world in which they live. In the investigative field seeks to show to what extent this form of education is implemented allowing this reversal, or not. The research qualitative character, a case study, we use the semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, as procedures allowing articulate a set of information from reality, being treated the data through content analysis. Theoretically based on Karl Marx (1988), Gramsci (1995), Pistrak (2000), Mészáros (2003), Frigotto (1999), Ciavatta (2005), Ramos (2005), Silva (2008), Santos (1988), Pochmann(2010), among other researchers that contribute to the unravel this relations and construct a new way to workers formation.
