This thesis aims to study the encounter of youngsters with the world of work from their passage through an apprenticeship program in a large Brazilian private company headquartered in Rio de Janeiro. Took part of the apprenticeship program from this company youngsters aged 15 to 21 years old of both sexes living in different regions of the state, usually in Baixada Fluminense or in Rio de Janeiro's favelas (slums). It is an objective to reflect on the issues that emerge in the encounter of young people with the organizational universe as well as understanding the meanings given by them to work in relation to their expectations for the future and their life projects. It starts with the understanding that we experience a moment of crisis in which the whole society is undergoing profound changes with many impacts to contemporary subjects and for the production of subjectivities. The youth in particular has been hit directly by this scenario making that the transition to adulthood to be a challenge. In this sense, the Brazilian Government has been developing public policies for youth; among them is the Apprenticeship Law. This was established by the Ministry of Labor and Employment to support the youth in their integration into the labor market and states that both public and private organizations should hire a mandatory percentage of girls and boys between 14 and 24 years old under special learning regime to give them technical and professional training. To achieve the objectives of the thesis, it was conducted extensive qualitative field research over the years 2010 and 2011 in which several instruments were used for data collection: individual interviews, focus group, field observations and interventions that have focused on the selection of apprentices, in some training activities through which they passed, and in their everyday learning in the company. The most significant data collected in the field were analyzed from theoretical and bibliographic references of Psychology and other areas of knowledge from the Humanities and Social Sciences that supported their understanding. As some of the main results obtained in this research, it can be emphasized that the occupation for which young people are prepared during their training in the apprenticeship program is not necessarily linked to the career desire they have for their future. The life projects that show the search for stability are lined in careers that require the completion of higher education. The meeting of young people with the company universe is not simple, requires learning of ways of speaking and behaving that are welcome or not. These are the ways of "knowing-how" as well as the sense of responsibility that they earn along the tasks to achieve the key lessons that young people carry from the lived experience. Moreover, the company still has trouble dealing with these youngsters perceiving them from stereotypes linked to their socioeconomic backgrounds that end up generating mechanisms of development with "civilizational content.
