Possibilidades de inserção de pessoas com deficiência no mercado de trabalho: contribuições do Programa de Educação para o Trabalho - PET Trampolim

Abstract

The dissertation analyzes the possibilities for the inclusion of people with disabilities in the job market, focusing on the Education for Work Program (PET Trampolim) of SENAC. The research examines the program's contributions to the training of young people with disabilities, addressing aspects such as technical, social, and emotional development, and identifying the challenges that still limit full inclusion. The analysis highlights the importance of public inclusion policies and the role of education in preparing people with disabilities (PcD) for the job market. Teacher training and the use of inclusive pedagogical practices are identified as crucial factors for the success of this process, although they still face gaps, especially in terms of qualification and infrastructure. Through a qualitative case study, the research explores how PET Trampolim promotes the autonomy and employability of its participants, using strategies such as adapted methodologies, individualized support, and encouraging student leadership. The results reveal significant progress but also highlight the need for greater collaboration between educational institutions, companies, and society to overcome cultural, structural, and educational barriers. The research findings indicate that programs like PET Trampolim have the potential to transform lives, while also pointing to the need for continuous improvement to ensure that people with disabilities are fully included in the job market and in society.
