Abstract
Studies on alumni are of extreme relevance insofar as they enable a survey of information that can generate results relating to the planning, definition, and feedback of educational policies. The study sought to analyze the alumni of the technical course in Farming of the Instituto Federal Fluminense, Bom Jesus do Itabapoana campus, and their entry into the world of work. The campus is set in a rural area, where the Local Productive Arrangement is farming. It has to be considered that Law 11,892/2008, which established the Federal Institutes of Education, Science, and Technology, adopts as their purpose/characteristic and goals to provide professional and technological education at all levels and modalities, training and qualifying professionals, focusing on the local and regional socio-economic development; stimulate and support educational processes that lead to the generation of work and income and the emancipation of citizens from the perspective of local and regional socio-economic development. This study included the years 2012, 2014, and 2016. The research is of a quantitative-qualitative aspect due to the importance of complementation among the different methodologies for a better understanding of the subject of study by means of a questionnaire. A documentary and online survey was carried out in order to support and understand the subject addressed. Findings revealed that most alumni continue to study and that there is no significant number of technical alumni in farming working in the field, considering as an incentive the lack of investment in the region; however, the alumni are confident in a perspective of growth in the field.
Highlights
Alumni of educational institutions prove to be potential actors who promote interaction with society, a source of information that makes it possible to depict how society, in general, understands and evaluates the institutions, both from the point of view of the educational process and the level of interaction they achieve

Summary
Alumni of educational institutions prove to be potential actors who promote interaction with society, a source of information that makes it possible to depict how society, in general, understands and evaluates the institutions, both from the point of view of the educational process and the level of interaction they achieve. Researches about alumni are important in this context, insofar as it enables the gathering of information regarding the situation of alumni in the world of work. These findings are essential for the planning, definition, and feedback of educational policies of institutions (BRASIL, 2008). One of the difficulties in institutional evaluations may be the limited information available, as students have already left the institution, monitoring them becomes more complex. It is necessary to create demands in the routine of completing and updating student data throughout the course, in order to enable him/her perception regarding the course, as well as the level of commitment of the institution to society
