Jovens e projetos de futuro: narrativas de alunos egressos da Escola Estadual de Educação Profissional Paulo Petrola

Abstract

Social, political and economic context mutually counteracted by the contemporary society randomization and contingencies, interfere excessively in the youth relations with school education and juvenile perspectives therefore in their biographical trajectories .This study intends to know the future perspectives and projects of the egresso students of the Paulo Petrola State School of Professional Education. This study also intends to discover the way of living of those young people, their trajectories and outlook in a period of instabilities and uncertainties, and of tension between present and future in times of persistent action of dependence and of constant aspiration of autonomy. For that purpose we defined the Qualitative Research as a way of investigation looking for a method that provided the best dialogue with the involved actors, using this way the Narrative Interview. The results joined to the research revealed that the idealized youth life projects not always coincide with their biographical itineraries. The youth transitions to adult live are not only determined by education, character formation and participation on the business market. They are also determined by their life circumstances that are cyclical, of sinuous tragetories , of uncertain ways and sometimes they need to be retaken.Their transitions to professional and adult life are characterized by successive transitory changes.
