Education-work-employment relations have played a major role in the arrangement and planning of modern western society. Furthermore, the influence that the French, American, and Industrial Revolutions have exerted on contemporary social relations is widely known, especially in terms of their contributions to the birth of new means of effecting social equality. Public Policy as an academic area is, so to speak, one of the youngest children of this process. It is worth noting that a public educational policy which is pedagogically driven by sovereign State laws shows up as a significant mechanism of political and social domination. Public policy determines, for instance, which sector of society should be trained and disciplined to occupy a worker’s position in the class division and, also, according to market needs, in which area a worker must be professionalized. This article aims to identify, through a questionnaire, the perceptions of those players, specifically active students and alumni, directly influenced by the IFCE Campus Pecém’s vocational education policy. It seeks to understand a student’s perceptions of the vocational education policy adopted by IFCE Pecém. There were literature review, documentary research (laws, decrees, contracts, and agreements), search on official websites, and application of forms to research subjects. It was found that both students and alumni regard the IFCE Pecém’s vocational education policy as something of high quality and great importance for developing the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex.
