O desenvolvimento de competências profissionais em projetos de treinamento profissional do centro de biologia da reprodução da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora como contribuição para a formação do graduando

Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the role of the Brazilian public university in the preparation of the academic for the job market. It was elected the Professional Training Program at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora as the analysis object, having been restricted the study to the projects of Professional Training developed at the Center for Biology of Reproduction. We started from the question that the work of guidance of Professional Training collegers conducted at the CBR provides, in addition to the basic objective of the program, the development of professional skills of the utmost importance for the formation of the student. Thereby, It could contribute to minimize the stress of the transition from the academic environment to the labor market, favoring adaptation of the academic to the new context of activity. The study was also intended to see, if confirmed the presence of activities involving professional skills, if it would come from a conscious motion of the project guiders, or if occurs randomly, as the result of individual actions. The findings pointed to the second case, ie, the absence of a unified work. Given this perception, it is proposed the institutionalization, at CBR, of the work focused on professional skills, as well as the development of an orientation program for the students. It is believed that the development of this issue is relevant because it contributes to the professional training of the academic and can be extended to other projects of Professional Training.
