There is a growing importance in the literature related to professional and technological education in the world development and, in this sense, it must have a structure with professionals prepared to meet their objectives and proposals. In this context, the present work aims to present, in the perception of teachers and teaching assistants, an assessment of their attributions in two public technological education institutions in São Paulo and Sorocaba municipalities. Research with a descriptive objective, qualitative approach, applied nature and a field research procedure was carried out, in which a structured electronic questionnaire was applied to all teachers and teaching assistants of these units, the attributions of these professionals were related and the respondents indicated, according to the Likert scale, their perceptions about the time invested and its importance in the daily life of the teaching structure. Data indicated that most professionals have a positive perception about the role of teaching assistants, considering that most of the assignments are very important for the success of professional and technological education. The attributions of the groups of technical-operational activities and relationship with students were the most relevant, while the others were understood as complementary and less important in this context.
