The present article has as its theme the role of the Federal Institutes (IF) of Education in professional training for the world of work. It aims to understand this role, as well as the importance the IF have for the society. Bibliographic and documentary research allows a historical review of the vocational education trajectory in Brazil, relating it to different contexts, as well as to the dominant social projects of each period. The institution of the Federal Network of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education, creating the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology, in 2008, the description of the objectives and pillars that structure their actions are also presented in this work. The analysis of the results indicates that the expansion of Industry 4.0 and the transformations experienced in the pandemic period give the IF even greater relevance in terms of integral, human and emancipatory professional training. This will contribute to the re-signification of the world of work, the relationships that are established in and society as a whole.
