title: [Training and providing assistance: images of Curitiba's Senai school in the 1940s and 1950s].
abstract: A branch of the Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Industrial (Senai) was set up in Paraná in 1943 to train industrial labor. Images and written records held by the Paraná State Federation of Industries depict aspects of technical training at the Senai school in Curitiba, both from an institutional perspective and from the students', through their discourse. A comparison of these images and discourses serves to highlight the vicissitudes of this private institution's vocational training project, which received government support for the instruction of industrial workers, especially apprentices.
