Professional and Technological Education (EPT) has stood out in the agenda of public policies
in Brazil in the last decades, constituting itself as a strategic element for the economic
development and social inclusion of the country. From this perspective, the discussion about
professional qualification in order to meet the demands of productive sectors is part of this
context. However, the implementation of Vocational Programs formulated by the Federal
Government has found difficulties in adapting to the reality of the Brazilian municipalit ies,
especially those located in the Amazon. From this point of view, the main theme of this study,
the Professional and Technological Education Program Pará Profissional, was conceived with
the objective of offering professional qualification with a view to expanding and verticalizing
the productive chains, linked to the priority axes of State development, generating income and
fight against poverty in Pará. In its implementation, Intersectorial Managing Committees were
used, which made possible the construction of the model of local governance in some
municipalities of the State. The general objective of this study is to analyze how the
Intersectoral Steering Committee of Ulianópolis, PA (CGIU), impacts the actions of the Pará
Profissional Program of the municipality. The choice of Ulianópolis was due to its pioneering
spirit in establishing in Pará the first Municipal Intersectoral Steering Committee as a
management tool to support and coordinate local EPT actions. Among the elements identified
in the characterization of governance, we highlight the focus given to the transformation of the
role of the State, where different social actors are inserted in the context of the elaboration and
execution of sectoral public policies. The research methodology is exploratory-descript ive,
carried out through a case study with a qualitative approach, utilizing documentary,
bibliographic and field research. The analysis of the results was based on the mechanisms of
governance (Leadership, Strategy and Control) used by the Basic Governance Framework of
the Federal Audit Court (TCU) for public organizations. It was observed that the model
established for the CGIU/Ulianópolis acted in a collaborative way, contemplating the
participation of both the public and private sector, as well as organized civil society, being
developed within a context that allowed to broaden the debate about the concept of local
governance and networks as a governance structure
