Since its emergence in the Brazilian Professional Education represented a significant and strategic role in maintaining and strengthening project of the ruling class. It has historical and political dimension, which settled directly with the design of economic development, leaving aside the social development to which the Brazilian government, from the 30s, has been implementing this type of education, strategic, convenient the ruling political power. Thus, this paper discusses the historical background dialectically mobile unit of the National Service of Commercial Education (UM/SENAC), a parallel critical front of the sociopolitical contextuality Brazilian governments since the 1940s. The methodological research transcended a descriptive condition to take a discourse-analytic perspective, in its development by adopting a qualitative approach, basing their discussions on literature review of concepts, ideas and arguments central to education and work, correlating them with the reality and potencionalizando them through the Documentary Research (Ludwig, 2009), to reveal the performance of UM in the Amazon region, which allowed to discuss the relations between the SENAC, social organizations, enterprises and government. André (2005, p. 16), in turn, helped us set the interview and analysis of documents, among other tools of qualitative research for her guidance, technical resources as the main study, asserting that their use is fundamental to understanding of an investigation. When considering important these techniques has different ways of generating and collecting data to characterize the object of research and materialization of the results. For this, we also reviewed the reports of institutional DR/AP, from the annual production (2003-2008) and national meetings of the mobile units (developments since 1973 every 10 years), complemented by field research by interviewing three members of the management of the SENAC/PA. This allowed to identify and analyze the contradictions and dialectic present in the performance of UM and understand the roots that led to the institutional philosophy of SENAC to then explain what its strategic role in the Amazon region, especially the DR/PA. They discussed the strategic plans of SENAC and relevance of its mission on providing professional education in the Amazon in Pará, generating a debate about the intentions of this institution, from the relations with the ruling power and the demands for changes in the legal provision, responding to a new perspective on professional education implemented by the MEC. From this perspective, the discussions presented close, but the debate does not end because the current model of society produces an education professional with strong traces of design pragmatist, today more strongly linked to the paradigm of flexibility that seeks to build a new philosophical references still not very clear.
