Introduction: the process of vocational training towards Technical Education Studies from Pinar del Rio University of Medical Sciences for students of Pre-University Institutes, is a spontaneous and non-systemic manifestation, and it does not achieve school-family-community integration, showing itself by the insufficient scheduling of activities into the university to increase motivation of pre-university students interested in entering the technical education, resulting in a high degree of demotivation, which is associated with academic failure. Objective: to design a strategy for the development of vocational training towards higher studies of health profiles in the technical education, from the university to the pre-university students taking advantage of the school-family-community relationship. Methods: materialist dialectical method as the articulator of the rest of the methods, using among the empirical methods: surveys, interviews with experts, and the documentary analysis; as methods from the theoretical level: historical-logical, modeling and structural systemic were used. Results: the strategy for professional orientation towards studies in technical education from the university encompassing a conscious, systemic and comprehensive approach based on the relationship school - family - community, considering the development of professional performance. Conclusions: a strategy was designed to increase professional motivation towards the studies in Technical Education from the university, taking into account a conscious, systemic and comprehensive approach based on the relationship school - family - community, supported on the development of professional performance, where each one assumes the role consciously, together with a dynamic multiplier of actions.
