O Plano Nacional de Qualificação Profissional no Pará: um estudo a partir da Resolução Nº 333/2003 do CODEFAT

Abstract

The dissertation “The National Professional Qualification Plan in Pará: a study of the Resolution Nº 333/2003 of the CODEFAT” aims to analyze the implications of the funding, with resources of the Workers Supporting Fund, in the implementation of the national professional qualification plan in Pará, by the State Secretary of Labor during 2003 to 2005. This is a documental research, and it prioritizes the qualitative aspect of the investigation, aiming to answer: has the Resolution Nº333/2003, by CODEFAT, represented changes for the professional qualification policy in Pará? We discuss the worker’s professional qualification, starting from the work, employment and income policy, instituted by the Employment and Income Ministry, and use the Territorial Professional Qualification Plan as our object of study, in the context of the National Qualification Plan. Appointed by the Resolution, the NQP was structured with six axis: politics, ethic, concept, institutional, pedagogic and operational, and in the implementing strategy, in the territorial form, counter points identified in a correlation with PLANFOR. The research’s results revealed that, despite the course’s average working hours elevation to 200h, there has been a drastic reduction of the resources provided by the FAT to the PlanTeQ in Pará. It opposes, in that way, to the rushed courses, but it doesn’t assure the professional qualification of a significant number of PEA’s workers in the State, with a reduction in the coverage of municipalities as well. That is a fact that led the State Government to invest resources from the State Treasury in the worker’s qualification, adopting some aspects of the national policy. The results also revealed that there’s no institutional articulation among the Work’s Secretary and the Education Secretary, and that’s a fact that we take as crucial to elevate the worker’s schooling level, given that PlanTeQ’s target demographic is, preferably, workers in a social vulnerability state. Therefore, we believe that this is relevant to our study, to contribute to the qualification policy evaluation developed at the state level, starting from national directives, and to its social utility as well.
