Perspectivas da certificação em um curso de formação continuada de extensão do Instituto Federal Farroupilha em uma Unidade Militar do Exército Brasileiro

Abstract

The Brazilian Army Teaching System has several specializations, which aim to train and improve human resources that will work in the institution itself. In this way, developing a proposal for a Continuing Training Course of Extension, in the form of professional education, in partnership between the Brazilian Army and the Instituto Federal Farroupilha – Campus São Vicente do Sul – RS – is an excellent opportunity for training and development from the students. The members of the military service, for having a mandatory character, present themselves as a faithful extract of society, because it is a very heterogeneous public, whether by the social, cultural or even financial aspect. The qualification police developed by the Army associated with the Instituto Federal Farroupilha can help in the understanding of historically systematized knowledge, in the integration of theory with practice, and in the insertion of these soldiers in the world of work after military service. In this scenario, the research aims to develop, implement and evaluate a professional training course of IFFar and Brazilian Army extension, detecting the factors that influence students interest in professional courses, the profile of enlisted young people and those who provide Mandatory Military Service, the importance of training courses for the professional life of students and to analyze the process of construction of professional courses, pointing out positive and negative aspects from the stundets perceptions. For this, a research was developed with a qualitative approach of the case study type in the 9th Logistic Battalion in Santiago-RS, with the military entering the class of 2021 who carried out a professional course, with the theme Continuing Training Course of Extension – Kitchen Assistant. In view of the results, it is concluded that the interest in the courses is not limited to the diploma, but to the role that this qualification opportunity represents for entering the world of work, practically 60% of young people who enter the army every year in the region of this estudy, did not complete high school. In this sense, the importance lies in expanding the possibilities for intellectual, social and even financial growth with new training opportunities. As a positive aspect, we find the possibility that when they complete their time of military service, they can return to society more qualifications, with the realization of extension courses, with a view to the integral development of the human being, solving concrete problems, generating ideas and opportunities of training, so that the contents and experiences lived have relevance in their daily lives, inevitably expanding into their lives.
