O ESTÁGIO SUPERVISIONADO EM SERVIÇO SOCIAL

LIMITES E DESAFIOS PARA A FORMAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to analyze the supervised internship as a mandatory curricular component to complete the undergraduate degree in Social Work, thus constituting one of the great challenges of the professional training project. As is known, this stage of training, when properly carried out, provides students with access to teaching and learning of the social reality in which social workers are inserted. It should be noted that the mandatory curricular internship develops in conjunction with educational policy, in a context in which education has been treated as a commodity, such as the growth of light and distance courses, with various repercussions, among them the exponential increase in number of students looking for an internship and unable to be absorbed in the available socio-occupational spaces. The methodology adopted for the elaboration of this text favored essentially a bibliographic research on the theme, using, therefore, fundamental references in this discussion. Regarding the results of the research, it is concluded that, unfortunately, the internship has been increasingly used by capital as a privileged way of exploiting labor and obtaining profits.
