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.
The goal of this article is to reconstruct the recent history of community health agent professionalization in the ambit of the family health strategy, developing articulated analyses of professional education and labor management policies via political processes that have been developed, the strategies that have been deployed, the norms that have been established, and the legislation that has been produced. This article also reflects on the Federal Labor Prosecutor's Office performance in this process and of the challenges in the political scenario of these workers' organized movement, particularly on the National Community Health Agents' Confederation, aiming at these workers' actual technical qualification and at regulating their access and employment ties.
