RECOGNITION OF KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS AND (RE)INSERTION INTO THE WORLD OF WORK – the case of workers served by SINE in the city of Goiânia - GO

SINE. World of Work. Recognition of Skills. Professional education

The (re)insertion of people into the World of Work is a global challenge, including Brazil, due to several factors such as: technological changes and automation that are transforming the nature of work, eliminating some jobs and requiring new skills for others , which could leave many workers unemployed or struggling to adapt to the new demands of the World of Work. For all these reasons and more, (re)inserting people into the World of Work is a complex challenge that requires coordinated efforts at global, national and local levels to guarantee equitable opportunities for all. Furthermore, in order to improve the efficiency of the worker (re)insertion process, it is necessary to consider the profiles of vacancies available in the World of Work, as well as the competencies (knowledge, skills and attitudes) of each person. Given the above, this doctoral research developed a method of Recognition, Validation and Certification of Prior Skills - RVCC, aligned with the new format of the World of Work. This method was applied to workers with low education and/or professional qualifications, who attended the SINE employment agency in Goiânia. Thus, initially, we carried out bibliographical and documentary research of a mixed nature and then applied the method to 219 workers. Of these, 185 passed the assessment and obtained recognition, validation and certification of their skills acquired throughout their lives, the remaining 34 workers who did not obtain the RVCC were directed to undertake professional training in the professional occupations that required certification. In this sense, the developed method appears as a possibility for the implementation of Skills Recognition and Skills Certification in the Brazilian context, providing opportunities for (re)insertion and progression in the World of Work, as it appears as a proposal for formalizing skills and/or knowledge acquired by workers throughout their lives, since despite being provided for 30 years ago in the LDB, this possibility is not guaranteed for thousands of workers who suffer from this recognition.
