Trabalho, Educação e Saúde - TES (Work, Education and Health) is an open access scientific journal, edited by the Joaquim Venâncio Polytechnic School of Health, from Oswaldo Cruz Foundation.
This article discusses the continuing education experiences of Brazilians social workers in labor situations that involve health matters. Based on a thematic focus that brings together education and work, it presents the results of an investigation that sought to unveil the social workers' educational experiences and to determine to what extent socio-occupational spaces can serve as a locus to produce know-ledge and training. In the course of this investigation, the concern of drawing training contexts closer to the situations faced in work was not based on understanding adaptability, rather on a critical approach concerned with the education processes in collective work situations. Thus, the narratives that emerged in focus groups conducted during the research process with social workers who work in the field of collective health in Porto Alegre, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, unravel the educational process taking place in these professionals' practice in the health policy.
