However, in 2005, at the same time of Federal Schools of Professional and Technological Education expansion that resulted in the creation of the Federal Institutes, Brazilian federal government established the Program for Integration of Professional Education with Basic Education in Youth and Adult Modality (PROEJA). Thus, written by using bibliographical research, and whose aim is to give visibility to Professional Education and to PROEJA, this paper discusses the trajectory of professional education in Brazil and the Program, which represents a possibility of no longer existing distinction between the knowledge of different social classes, and the worker is not a mere performer of practical tasks, but who understands the fundamentals of the work he/she performs, as well as broaden his/her possibilities of acting with autonomy in life in society, through integral formation.
