Abstract

The present dissertation was developed in the Professional Master in Management and Education Evaluation (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policy and Education Evaluation of Federal University of Juiz Fora (CAEd / UFJF). With the growth of public investment in vocational education, with the expansion of the Federal Vocational and Technological Education Network , it is necessary to identify whether the proposal that public policy is indeed generating opportunities to the public it is intended. A mechanism to monitor such effects is monitoring egress because the former student is an important source of information for the management and evaluation of an educational institution. However, there was a lack in the Federal Institutes of this monitoring - noted in a report issued by the Court of the Union (2012) - and a lack of studies on the topic graduates in Brazil. This shows the weakness of education institutions to manage and do not fit its institutional planning. On this context, this work proposed investigate the graduates monitoring policy of a unit of the Federal Institute in Ceara, in the city of Caucaia. The study aimed to investigate the institutional actors which existing barriers to the implementation follow-up survey of graduates and their implications, in addition to collecting information from graduates who made it possible to trace a brief profile of these. Therefore, if used a qualitative approach and case study technique. It used questionnaires as data collection instruments and semi-structured interviews. Research has shown poor formulation and barriers that hindered implementation of this policy in the unit. From these considerations proposed an Educational Action Plan (PAE) that enables a redesign and implementation of egress monitoring policy in IFCE in its Campus of Caucaia.
