The latest curricular guidelines for the field of Communication structure autonomous courses linked to the professions that constitute it, abolishing the qualification format. The documents point to the formation of graduates anchored in the perspective of the future professional's competencies, the result of the alignment of Brazilian educational policies with the international organizations's guidelines, emphasizing competencybased education in accordance with the productive system. This reality conceals the student's training project, which aims to contemplate the concept of education offered at graduation, with objectives, teaching and learning process and, forms of assessment. This thesis aims to bring emancipatory formation closer to professional training, as can be seen from the approach on competencies in Rué ( 2009), Marinho-Araujo and Rabelo (2015), Machado (2016), and Scallon (2018), and direct pedagogical practices through the experience of real and complex situations, to mobilize knowledge in favor of individual and collective demands. The adopted view on training comprises three axes (PINEAU, 2010): the subject reflecting on his formative process (self-formation) in relation to alterity (heteroformation) and the environment where he lives (ecoformation), transforming the person throughout life and not being restricted to an institutionalized space. The objective of this study was to understand the academic and professional training of graduates in the field of Communication in the context of competencies, with the practical purpose of providing feedback to the reflection of teachers and course coordinators on the development of pedagogical projects, contributing to the training of future communicators. For this, a qualitative approach was outlined, based on the constructivist perspective, based on narrative research (CRESWELL, 2014), using the life story method, which uses experiences lived during the training process (JOSSO, 2010a(JOSSO, , 2010b. Data collection took place through interviews with graduates from Communication courses who contributed to the production of narratives submitted to content analysis with NVivo software's support. As a result, general training's importance was highlighted, articulating transversal and specific competencies in the course's teaching and learning process. For this, it recommends expanding the educational space, taking the socio-occupational environment as a learning environment in action, through differentiated and contextualized pedagogical methods and assessment, in addition to the performance of student's training activities for the construction of knowledge. It is essential to seek the integration of theory with practice, in the sense of praxis, and interdisciplinarity in the formative axes, stimulating coexistence, interpersonal relationships, and teamwork from the realization of collaborative projects. These contributions generate a personalized pedagogical project, considering the course context's particularities to guide the teaching and learning pro...
