This article aims to analyze the qualification of the port laborforce of the port of Paranaguá (PR), for its adaptation to the new technological processes of the sector. Detached port workers (TPAs) are compelled to authenticate their professional skills through the certification of courses offered by the Laborforce Manager (OGMO). Certified qualification now regulates the single workforce, increasing demand for TPAs for the Maritime Professional Education Program (PREPOM). Documentary research, field research and semi-structured interviews were used to conclude that the TPAs incorporated in their own discourses the need for qualification to meet the demands and requirements of port modernization for a new, competent and multifunctional TPA profile, in order to keep themselves employed.
