The constant development of information technology (as a means of automation and articulation of the mechanisms of data processing, storage and diffusion) provokes a wide debate about its reflexes in the forms of organization and production of the work. From the 1990s onwards, the market underwent profound changes due to the new technological paradigms brought by IT, which gave rise to changes both in the size of the search for work and in the profile of professionals in this segment. This dissertation analyzes an occupation of the Information Technology (IT) sector – it technicians – as a specific segment in relation to the other IT professions. The objective was also to identify how social gender markers act on the entry and permanence of women in this area. Based on data provided by governmental bases, it was possible to make a quantitative survey related to female participation, both in technical courses that dialogue with the IT sector, and in the insertion in the labor market, confirming the gender segregation among it technicians. In addition, based on semi-structured interviews, we sought to highlight the trajectory of egresses of the Technical Course in Computer Science for Internet, offered by the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiás (IFG). In this way, our research pointed out that it is a dynamic and complex occupational sector in its structuring, in which the variations in their occupational and adjacent families can cause generalizations about the activities related to the sector, and that the same still is composed mostly by white men. The results indicate that the discourses present in the social environment contribute to the process of occupational segregation in the IT sector, but it is the very structures that organize the society that provides it. Keywords: work; education; genre; information technology.
