This research intends to study the insertion or the graduated female students, that have 40 years old or more, of PROEJA National Program of the Professional Education Integration with the Basic Education in the Young and Adults Education Mode, of IFMG - Federal Institute ofMinas Gerais, in the labor market. The asymmetries and hierarchies related to the presents genders in todays labor market show real contextualization of gender in one moment that social indicators points to a population getting older in many countries. The experience and production of the gender in historical, social and cultural context is the result of established norms, considering that this set of rules suffers changes according to time and place. The class, race, generation, ethnicity and nationality are crossed with gender, and, so establish themselves concepts related to female and male participation in the public world, and, particularly discussed here, in the labor market. The inclusion of not young women, pointed by IBGE, in the contemporary capitalist labor market reflects one statuary trend that demands certainreflection, especially if these women have low financial returns. The belief that is spread in contemporary capitalist society is that employment is associated with the realization of qualification courses. Believers in this perspective, men and women, are pushed to scholar banks of professional courses, looking for insertion or reinsertion in the labor market, facing the relation work/education as a possible path to have access to the socioeconomics conditions improvement. PROEJA configured itself as a possible path to hunt for a job, or a better job,for certain social group. The idea of combined offer of adults education linked to the professional education involves the fragile historical territory of socioeconomics inequality of the country faced with interventional actions of the State. Thereby, PROEJA consists in the State, inside the adaption of compensatory politics that look for social recovery of certaingroups that are economically excluded. By itself, the Program makes visible many faces of economic, social, educational and cultural problems of Brazilian society. The Federal Institute of Minas Gerais, in adherence to the recommendation of federal government in reference to the offer of this education mode in areas of federal institutes, offered courses in three of their own campi: Bambuí, Congonhas and Ouro Preto.
