The subject addressed in this dissertation involves the aspirations of students of the High School courses offered, in the campus of the city of Floriano, by the Instituto Federal do Piauí (IFPI; "Federal Institute of Piauí"), in relation to the objectives recommended for these courses by the Institute mentioned above. The problem analyzed in the research that originated the dissertation was to find out if the aspirations of the students are in accordance with the objectives recommended for these courses by the Institute, especially for the Integrated Higher Education course of the said campus. In order to ascertain what the Federal Institute recommends, an analysis was made regarding the purposes and objectives present in several official documents. Then, in order to inquire about students' aspirations, semi-structured interviews were conducted, in which students reported on the influences they experienced and which led them to study in a school that potentially prepares them to achieve their goals and their dreams. The data collected in the interviews were analyzed in the light of the theoretical reference and the official documents included in chapter two of this study. From the analysis made, it was clear the existence of some insecurity of the students in relation to the future, in which way to go, what is proper to their age, as well as the fact that, at that moment, they need to make an important decision between: to enter the labor market in the professional area for which the course attended was intended to prepare them or to enter Higher Education. At the same time, these students reveal a fear: that they do not succeed in these ways. In fact, according to the answers of this specific group and according to historical data raised by the school itself over the course of a few years, most of the students of this course seek to enter Higher Education. This points to some mismatch with regard to one of the objectives of the IFPI courses, which is to prepare mid-level technicians for the labor market, although lately the Institute itself has offered Higher Education courses, including for their high school graduates, which also generates this expectation of moving towards Higher Education. Perhaps most students would not be expected to have such an aspiration. In addition, the data show that there are fewer students who want immediate admission into the job market and in the field of occupations for which the course has prepared them, and one of the reasons given for this is the economic situation of their families. There are also natural hesitations, partly related to the age and conditions of the moment and, on the other hand, related to doubts about the actual preparation offered by the course. And there are also those who claim to have career paths different from those pursued by the IFPI course, since experience has shown them that this is not what they really want. Finally, in the final considerations, some initial conclusions and positions are presented regarding the social functions of the Federal Institutes of Professional Education resulting from the analyzes made.
