Abstract: The objectives of this assay had been to reflect on the concepts of professional competence, management of competences and profession, and to indicate possibilities of research. After the reflection, a re-conceptualization of professional competence and profession was done, considering aspects that imply in a complex diversity that is difficult to manage in multiple spheres and, inevitably, in a redesign of the professionalization processes of determined occupations. For research, it proposes an agenda that contemplates methodology (qualitative boardings to give depth to the understanding of the subjects and their relations, and quantitative boardings that aim the extension of conclusions and validation of models) and thematic aspects (a fan of options contemplating professions that are at differentiated moments in terms of the professionalization process, searching to understand particular and extensive aspects to others groups). The fulfilment of the related agenda aims at to collaborate in two ways: conceptual and academic, in the direction to exact and to expand the delimitation of the boarded constructs; and practical and professional, to give subsidies for an effective transit of the involved social actors in the professionalization processes that we have attended and witnessed.
