This is the result of an Extension Project, tutored by the State University of Minas Gerais - UEMG - Divinópolis - MG - PROINPE Edition 1/2019, held at the State Center for Continuing Education - CESEC Dr. Fábio Botelho Notini, Divinópolis – MG. The objective was to sensitize a group of young people and adults to the importance of structuring a professional life project, developing a career plan. A questionnaire was applied to get to know the target audience. Data from 69 EJA (Education for young adults) students indicate that: 54% adults, aged 25 to 60; 46% young, 15 to 24 years old; 51% female, 51% white, 54% do not work; 37% did not complete their studies within the time established by MEC (Ministry of Education and Culture) due to work and family activities, and 35% due to lack of interest; 41% chose agile training at CESEC, 58% resumed their studies to train themselves; and after CESEC 51% wish to graduate. Impact on society considered to be the possibility of contributing to the reflection and construction of the career plan of individuals whose personal and professional life trajectory encompasses diverse knowledge. CESEC students explained the importance of the activity to constitute the professional future; the director, teachers and employees considered the performance of the public university in CESEC's school environment to be important, leading EJA students to reflect on study, work and profession. The undergraduates reported the relevance of knowing and analyzing the personal and professional life trajectories of individuals who strive to resume their studies, their enthusiasm and the appreciation of education to win a job and exercise citizenship.
