The research problem raises the following question: What are the external and internal factors that contribute to the academic retention of quota students in IFPE's Integrated High School Technical Courses? We opted for a qualitative, descriptive and explanatory approach; as a data collection instrument, bibliographical research, documentary research and field research were used. The bibliographical approach addressed the academic production of the Center for Access and Permanence in Education, using the State of the Art to map the academic production on School Permanence in Secondary Education Integrated with Professional Education. In the documentary analysis, research was carried out based on educational legislation at national and institutional level, placing emphasis on the regulations that regulate Secondary Education Integrated with Professional Education and establish the permanence of young students as a right. The documents that guide the programs, teaching projects, research and extension of IFPE were consulted. Questionnaires with open and closed questions were used, applied to students who entered through the quota system. It was concluded that young students relate their stay to personal effort, interaction with colleagues, teachers and staff, Student Assistance programs and resources, and family support. They recognize the importance of teaching, research and extension programs, although few had the opportunity to effectively participate in the activities, as these students started courses during the pandemic. As a result of the research, the Educational Product “Project and Prototype of the Observatory of Permanence in Integrated High School Site” was created, being evaluated and approved by staff, students, researchers and the external community.
