The Government of Ceará State (Brazil) through its Education Department (SEDUC) launched the Integrated Plan of Professional Education in 2007. Its proposal is to link the high school curriculum with student training for inclusion in society and the labour market. This research aims 1) to evaluate the practice of this educational policy in Cid Gomes‘ management (the current Governor); 2) to check its purposes, how they will work in schools and how they will affect the lives of the students assisted by this mode of teaching; 3) to analyze the educational reform implemented by the Government of Ceará. The bibliographical and documentary research portrayed the evolution of professional education in Brazil in recent decades, presenting an analysis of the public policies proposed for this mode. Two public high schools in Fortaleza were the objects of a case study, namely EEEP Joaquim Antônio Albano and EEEP Onélio Porto. In empirical research, we used methods and techniques of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, based on the representation and active participation of the subjects studied, by means of semi-structured interviews and questionnaires administered to 234 social actors, including teachers, principals and students in both schools. The data revealed that 67% of all students set the goal of passing the University entrance exam as their chief reason to stay in school. The results indicated that the teacher mentor figure for a small number of students (one teacher for every six students) enabled them to be protagonists in their learning process and co-responsible for their education. This mode of teaching proved to be an innovative and humane option, because while the students learn how to set goals, make commitments, make plans, review their goals and get results, it also intends to meet the labor market demands.
