The main objective of this study is to analyze and identify the skills and basic skills developed for vocational training and human pedagogue and the impacts of these qualities in the job market insertion of graduates of a Higher Education Institution located in Metropolitan Salvador (BA) in 2009. The study identified some specific abilities and skills developed through the course analyzed, while that found in the absence of further training of graduates, which, in their majority – about 84% –, are African descents. The study also demonstrated that the majority of graduates was absorbed by the marketplace. Despite this favorable impact, there is the low prestige of the professional educator of elementary education in the region where it was developed.
