Abstract

The local agricultural productive educational system constitutes an ideal training context for the development of the apprenticeships of the student of Specialized Technician in Agronomy, as through the use of its endogenous potential, students appropriate and systematize the contents of the profession and generate a new integration in the local innovation processes, in conjunction with the professors of the Cattling-Farming Polytechnic Institute, the tutors of agricultural production forms, the local farmers and the rural families. In this paper the several moments of this integration are proposed: diagnosis of local agrarian productive educational system, identification of professional problems, the proposal of innovative local solutions and their evaluation as an expression of the link between the polytechnic and the productive context.
