Abstract

This study examines the vocational training offered by a charity from the perspective of young apprentices. 20 young apprentices participated, 14 women and six men, aged between 15 and 22 years, with at least six months experience in the program. It was used a qualitative approach with semi-structured-interviews. The interviews were analyzed using thematic content analysis. Thereafter it was found that the learning experience was perceived by young people as a privileged position to their training and professional insertion. However, the authors believe that this training is limited because it focuses on behavioral issues, teaching to play and to follow the rules of business.
