SUMMARY:

This research paper addresses a relevant topic in society, especially in the post-pandemic context: the professional insertion of women in the world of work, focusing on the field of administration and the contributions of professional and technological education (EPT) in this process. It is assumed that EPT plays a crucial role in preparing for the constant changes in the job market, developing essential technical knowledge and skills for various occupations. With technological evolution and new professional demands, EPT becomes an important means of updating and preparing workers. In the case of women, the challenges are even more significant, due to salary inequalities, discrimination and difficulties in career progression. Therefore, understanding how women enter areas traditionally dominated by men, such as administration, is essential to promote gender equality and female empowerment. The research examines the perspectives of women who graduated from the Technical Course in Administration offered by the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS) – Porto Alegre Campus. The participants were graduates who graduated between 2017 and 2022, as well as the two coordinators of the course, which is offered in the morning and evening shifts, both in the subsequent modalities and integrated with high school, through the National Program for the Integration of Professional Education with Basic Education (Proeja). With a descriptive and exploratory nature, the research adopts a mixed approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. To collect data, questionnaires were applied to the 62 graduates, interviews with the course coordinators and document analysis. The results showed that, although the participants recognize the value of public education and see it as an opportunity for access to work, they face great difficulties in entering the market, related to factors such as gender inequality, structural prejudices, disproportionate family responsibilities and economic limitations. In the field of social sciences, research on gender must consider the complexity and dynamics of the structural and cultural factors that affect human movement in society. A gap identified in the research is the feeling of unpreparedness for the world of work, even after completing the course, and that a career development plan would be an essential tool to promote the integration of graduates into the world of work, ensuring that the technical training obtained is used effectively in their professional careers.
