Abstract

This article reports on the fi rst year of joint management and coordination of Pronatec and university extension as well as external relations at the IFSC câmpus Florianópolis-Continente, since the beginning of the provision in 2012. It starts from the fi rst technical reports and the defi nition and implementation of priority actions to actually pursue the objectives of the program and take the greatest possible advantage of the movement to expand the number of vacancies in professional education, contributing thus to fulfi ll institutional goals. The present case is an attempt to demonstrate that the Pronatec can contribute to innovation in education and, in some cases, signal to the federal system the immediate and necessary changes, especially in approaching the public they wish to assist, creating strategies to maintain that public in the school and contributing to the construction of their full and required citizenship.
