| Sumario: | In this article we analyze the role played by Hotel-Schools located in Mar del Plata city in the attempts to professionalize work in the hotel sector between 1940 and 1990.

This article aims to restore the role of vocational training institutions in this process, understanding that the professionalization process was fraught with tensions and ambivalences. If, on the one hand, it was based on gender stereotypes and specific conceptions of jobs and knowledge associated with them, on the other hand, enabled certain spaces and practices that allowed them to challenge.
