| Summary: | This article presents the importance of ongoing training for social workers as a possibility of contributing to professional
work from a critical perspective and affirmation of a specific ethical-political project. The study discusses education in class society and
the meaning of ongoing education in a counter-hegemonic direction to the interests of capital, presenting a reflection on the education’s
role in an emancipatory way. The article resumes the principles of the Ongoing Education Policy of the Federal Council of Social Work
(CFESS) of Regional Councils of Social Service (CRESS) (2012). Also, it points out the challenges and opportunities in the implementation
of this policy and construction of democratic spaces of graduate qualifications, emphasizing the importance of ongoing training
regarding two aspects. The first is the necessary suspension of the life routine, so one can contribute to the daily life, when returning,
through actions aligned with a professional political, ethical project. Second, the potential for ongoing training as a strategy to maintain
the hegemony of a professional and education project. |
