Honor is understood as the link between the values of society and the willingness of individuals to take ownership of them, be recognized by social group and to achieve socially differentiated position. The standards of conduct that lead someone to be recognized as honorable vary by culture, social class, economic, age and gender. The research aimed to understand the Social Representations (RS) of honor for adolescents from low income included in apprenticeship training. Twenty-two young people were interviewed, 11 girls and 11 boys aged between 15 and 17 years, participants of the program "Adolescent Apprentice." The script for structured interview was divided into two parts: 1) socio-demographic data and open questions about motivations and perceptions of change after entering the program, 2) open questions about the social representations of men and women honorable, knowledge and existence of people honorable, importance of honor, situations of loss and harm to the honor. The interviews had duration of 40 minutes on average, were recorded and transcribed. The content of the interviews were separated by gender, subject to content analysis and organized into tables grouped in five thematic groups: 1) socio demographic data; 2) motivations for entering the program; 3) RS of honor male and female; 4) RS of people honored; 5) perceptions of change after entering the program of apprenticeship. The results indicate that the motivations for entering the professional learning are similar between genders, but the girls have like a predominant and unanimous reason the professional growth and the boys have a set of motivations: professional growth, to assist in family income, independence and encouragement of parents. A comparison of RS of honor between genders shows that there are attributes in common such as honesty, work and perseverance, and differences like a 1) moral sexual double, for women very hard and for men permissive; 2) the socio-centric aspects in the family: the naturalization of ethics of care for women and the role of primary provider and protector family for men. The interviewees consider like honorable only people close to them, and the most cited, in descending order, were: family [father, mother and brothers]; extensive family [grandparents and aunts], girlfriend and friends [more old and the same age]. About the changes after entering the program, 21 young people reported positive changes as professional growth, acquisition of social skills, independence, approve from parents and colleagues and improvement of family relations. Only one mentioned the negative aspects as tiredness and lack of time. It was concluded that the main element in RS of honor is the work and the ethical values that are relevant to adolescents are present in the daily practice of social group where they are inserted. It was also noted that the honor is represented as a values built through overcoming the difficulties experienced. The RS of honor are also formed by other elements, some more associated with the modern social organization, as the approval of women in the labor market and social achievements that have achieved in recent decades, but also have traditional elements such as RS of women and men honorable based on sexual morality and the sexual division of labor. Interventions are necessary with this public, including in the program of professional learning, aimed at modification of these concepts so that these young people have experiences of gender relations more egalitarian.
