SUMMARY:

The Higher Technology Course (HTC) is an academic higher education degree lasting 1600 to 2400 hours. Regulated by LDB 9.394/1996 and Federal Decree nº 5.154/2004.According to the governmental discourse, the keynote of the CST is to enable the training of professionals in conditions of workability, versatile and capable of presenting solutions to everyday production problems. The materiality of CST reveals that 83.62% of CST students, or 8 out of 10, are in private Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and that 68% of this offer is in Management and Business Axis courses. Thus, a closer look points out that such courses can be more a means of conforming than training and qualifying the workforce for current production conditions, marked by the strong introduction of microelectronics, informatics, and robotics. The object of our research is the provision of HTC in leading private HEIs. The empirical reference of the research is Estácio de Sá University, which maintains YDUQS Participações S.A. The objective is to explain the implications of the fact that HTC have become an accessible commodity for certain segments of the working class mobilized by the ideology of entrepreneurship, employability, and sustainability. This is a research based on historical and dialectical materialism. As a data collection instrument, we used bibliographical research, document analysis, surveys in the Microdata of the Higher Education Census and in the Microdata of ENADE. Our hypothesis is that this teaching model materializes the lean and flexible university of the service proletariat in the digital age of capitalist accumulation. A political-pedagogical project that has a double purpose: that of training a new type of workers to meet the business demand for professionals with intermediate qualifications who transit between simple and complex work, and that of conforming workers who are excluded from the integrative promise of capital and doomed to unemployment and precarious work and social life. As a result, we point out that the HTC is a course aimed at the most precarious segments of the working class, where most of the students are working adults, who work at least 40 hours and who see higher education as a means of valuing their workforce to overcome the condition of social vulnerability. We conclude that the delimited courses are aimed at conforming to the precarious life of a significant portion of the working class to work in the lean, flexible, and freeze-dried company of capitalism in the digital age.
