SUMMARY:

The study carried out at the Florestal campus of the Federal University of Viçosa, focused on the Trilhas de Futuro project, aimed to explore the causes and consequences of the continuous dropout of students from technical courses. This revealed the multifaceted nature of dropout in Vocational and Technological Education (VTE), highlighting educational, socioeconomic, and deeply rooted sexual division of labor factors as key influences on this phenomenon. The qualitative methodology adopted, as described by Minayo (2010), allowed a detailed investigation of the subjects’ subjective perspectives, involving a robust case study and the application of forms to collect the points of view of dropout students. The results point to the need for a careful look at the sexual division of labor, highlighting the observation of Cyntia Cockburn (1985), who already indicated gender segregation in emerging technologies, a pattern that persists despite technological advances. This study confirms the reluctance to move towards greater gender equality in technical education work, emphasizing the historical resistance to changes in gender norms. Additionally, the importance of adapting course offerings to the specificities of students was identified, including transport logistics and reconciliation between academic, family and work responsibilities. The majority of female participation in the research highlighted women’s search for professional qualification opportunities, confronting the sexual division of labor. However, an incongruity was observed between the course contents and the students’ expectations and needs, suggesting the revitalization of the curriculum and course offering modalities. The findings reinforce the essential role of public educational and social welfare policies, exemplified by the financial support of the Trilhas de Futuro project. However, it was highlighted that, to combat the realities of students and accompanied by integrated strategies that address the complexity of the phenomenon. Finally, the study emphasizes the urgency of continued collaboration and inclusive policies among EFA stakeholders to promote diversity and the full development of individual and collective potential. Only through a concerted effort and recognition of the variety of students life trajectories would it be possible to create effective retention strategies and move toward a more equitable and productive educational experience.
