Abstract

This research has as its main objective to analyze Learning Process and Professional Qualification as means of social inclusion and permanence in the formal working market of the “National Pilot Project for the Motivation of People with Learning Disability” in the context of the “Racial quotas law” or “Legal Reserved Positions”, as an important act in the implementation of public employment policies of this population segment, carried out by the Brazilian Ministry of Labor in the period of 2009 and 2010.The experience, which took place in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, was held under the responsibility of the Regional Labor Superintendence and the “Pro-Inclusion Executive State Committee”, and it was established with the aim of gathering representative entities from different types of disabilities, institutions that deal with workers qualification, business federations, non-governmental organizations and public sectors related to education and social promotion.We will approach the learning process and professional qualification under the perspective of professional training in order to comprehend the development of competences and abilities for the support of conditions of professional inclusion in the formal working market.The methodology used is the qualitative approach, with data collected from participative research, based in observations and in researched documents collected from the empirical field – “field diary” and “Memorial of the of the Pro-Inclusion Committee Meetings”. The discursive analysis is based on the work of Laurence Bardin (2010).The theoretical background is based on the work of Paulo Freire (2001), educator whose intellectual production is interdisciplinary. We also present the trajectories and life experience of people with disabilities regarding the social dialog as subjects of professional learning and qualification policies, re-signifying their history.
