However, it was observed that many of the individuals that entered the Campus Guanambi’s Technical Course in Computer Science (PROEJA) did not obtain to conclude high school, running away itself in elapsing of the course. In this context it was inquired: which the student profile attended for the PROEJA? Which the difficulties that they face to study? The choice of the Technical Course in Computer Science came from young and adult necessity? The teachers have been prepared to deal with this public? Which the reasons that had unleash school evasion? To answer these questions, a research of qualitative matrix was become fulfilled using documentary research, semistructuralized questionnaires applied to the teachers who gave lessons in the first semester of 2011 in the groups of the PROEJA and to the students of the groups 2009, 2010 and 2011 and interviews with the run away ones in these years. The research’s data proved that great part of the PROEJA’s students have high school and that the Technical Course in Computer Science was chosen by the Institution itself. It also noticed that the majority of the teachers had experience with EJA students in the Campus PROEJA’s groups only and that the institution has not offered courses of qualification in this education mode. Among the reasons that had led the school evasion it was perceived that the main ones were difficulties in technical area subjects, unfeasibility in conciliating work and school activities, lack of incentive of the teachers, problems with the transport and fatigue. In this context, it was perceived necessity of the Campus to review offers of the Technical Course in Computer Science, for this it is crucial a study of demand next to the target-public.
