The contribution of the public policy “Rede Certific” to the industrial fishing sector in the coast of Santa Catarina, Brazil

This article brings a look at the professionalization of fishermen in the state of Santa Catarina (SC), the national leader in the capture of marine fish. It houses the largest fishing industrial park in the country, among the difficulties in professionalizing the sector, there is a migration of qualified fishermen to pre-salt oil exploration. To meet this need for qualified fishermen on the coast of Santa Catarina, the professional qualification course was implemented in the modality of recognition of knowledge through the public policy of the National Network for Professional Certification and Initial and Continued Training (Network Certific). The purpose of this work was to demonstrate the Certific Network in the training of fishermen to perform at different levels of experiences to be acquired on land and at sea. With a qualitative approach, the exploratory and descriptive research medium was used, with interviews to 30 actors during the period between May and July 2017, with an instrument containing closed, open and semi-structured questions. Data were expressed as means and discourse analysis, focusing on induction and deduction. It was noticed that the Certific Network contributed with the sector for the offer of certification through courses that the Marine of Brazil did not supply in sufficient quantity added to the fact that, in its systematics, it allows the recognition of practical knowledge, providing an empowerment of Lasse worker who felt marginalized by acting illegally. This experience can serve as an example for meeting the UN's ODS objective 8 and 14, by promoting full and productive employment, integrated with society.
