SUMMARY:

Currently, the various media have highlighted the stories of successful entrepreneurs who have reinvented their lives in the face of unemployment. In addition, we observed the encouragement of entrepreneurial activity through the insertion of the curricular content “entrepreneurship” in different levels and modalities of Professional and Technological Education (EPT). The Vocational Education Reform initiated in the 1990s reorganized and expanded the Vocational Education offer. This reform led to changes in the curricula and structure of the Federal Network of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education, which offers courses aimed at meeting the demands of the world of work, therefore, courses in tune with the employability discourse and the incentive to entrepreneurial activity. These changes are also due to the influence of international organizations, which emphasize in their proposals the importance of stimulating entrepreneurial activity in education. Faced with this reality, we elected as an object of study the inclusion of the curricular content “entrepreneurship” in the EPT, taking as an empirical reference the Federal Network of Professional, Scientific andTechnological Education of the State of Rio de Janeiro. Our analysis aims to explain the political and ideological implications of inserting the curricular content “entrepreneurship” in the EPT. For this, we propose basic research, with a qualitative approach, with an explanatory character, through the analysis of primary and secondary bibliographic sources, taking historical-dialectical materialism as a reference, which seeks to understand a phenomenon in its concreteness. We start from the hypothesis that the incentive to entrepreneurial activity acts as a measure of conformation of those who are excluded from the labor market, as they have already assimilated that survival in the world of work is a matter of individual merit. As it is not possible to guarantee all EPT graduates the achievement of an occupation in the formal labor market, entrepreneurial activity is presented as a possible alternative to create occupations that provide income generation. We adopted the concept that such discourse is a way of transferring to workers the responsibility for creating their occupation. Currently, we have the pedagogy of competences as a regulator of the labor market, as well as the need to become a worker flexible enough to trigger individual entrepreneurial skills and become an entrepreneur of their workforce in times of scarcity of opportunities. We identified the need to reflect on the role of the State as a promoter of the “ideology of entrepreneurship”, in addition to understanding the socio-historical context in which the reform of Professional Education and the inclusion of the curricular content “entrepreneurship” in EPT took place. This whole relationship takes place under the guise of an education that seeks the emancipation of workers, but its essence lies in promoting the social project of capital through the school.
