PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION, TERRITORY AND ENTREPRENEURIAL TRAINING: A DOCUMENTARY ANALYSIS OF SEDUC TEC AND FADEX'S ROLE

Abstract

The study analyzes SEDUC TEC as a public policy for professional education in the state school system of Piaui, focusing on the relationship between technical training, territorial productive vocations, entrepreneurial education and the institutional role of FADEX. It is a qualitative, exploratory and documentary case study grounded in the literature on vocational education, territory, entrepreneurial education and public policy implementation. The research examines institutional publications by the State Department of Education of Piaui, administrative acts published in the State Official Gazette, public records from FADEX and relevant educational legislation, distinguishing institutional discourse, policy design, contractual formalization and evidence of implementation. The findings indicate that SEDUC TEC has the potential to bring high school students closer to fields associated with the digital economy, energy transition, marketing communication, tourism and the creative economy. The analysis also reveals important limitations: the territorial relevance of the courses still requires stronger empirical evidence, and the available documents do not allow conclusions about impacts on learning, retention, certification, employability or youth entrepreneurship. The study concludes that the main analytical value of the experience lies in revealing a promising policy that still depends on systematic evaluation of implementation, educational outcomes and territorial effects.
