The main target of this research, which has a qualitative character, is to examine whether CEFET-MG offers a technical formation in electronics in due proportion to the current labor market referring to employability and permanence in the work, especially regarding to the digital literacy level and the acquaintance with the English language. For this, a case study was conducted and data were collected in CEFET-MG, more precisely in the technical course of Electronics, and in 06 companies that are established in the metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte. This research is anchored in the theoretical assumptions about globalization and the transformations occurring in our contemporary society after the spread of new technologies (CASTELLS, 2009; LÉVY, 1996; 2000), the concept of digital literacy according to Soares (2002, 2003) and Xavier (2009) and its implication in education. We seek to verify the development of the web (SNYDER, 2009; THORNE & BLACK, 2008) and to investigate the required competence for employability and permanence in the work (ZARIFIAN, 2002; LAZZARESCHI, 2007; 2008). To accomplish the proposed goal a questionnaire with semi-structured questions was applied to students and ex-students at CEFET-MG in order to ascertain their digital literacy level and their English level. Furthermore, interviews were conducted with those students, with the Coordinator of the Electronics course, with the General Coordinator of the Professional Training and 06 representatives of the companies chosen. The purpose of the interviews was to identify the real needs of digital literacy and English, by both trainees and/or workers and by the companies. We concluded that students are dissatisfied with the teaching received, as regard to the development of their digital literacy and English learning, required for the working world. It seems urgent that CEFET-MG should promote some adjustments in the curriculum in order to continue offering a free high-quality education, as it intends to. Similarly, it seems possible to infer that all institutions that purpose to prepare students for the labor market should also keep their curriculum updated to be able to provide their students with subsides, thus assuring them more and better opportunities
