This research aimed to see the relations produced in the interconnection of education and social ascension in the discourse of former participants of a program about their academic and professional careers, as well as their experience in it. They were participants of a social program funded by the private sector, held in a state capital in the southern part of the country. They were low-income students from public schools with good academic performance. The investigation followed the Institutional Discourse Analysis method and took place in two steps: quantitative, through a questionnaire about educational and professional information; and qualitative, with the completion of semi-structured interviews with part of that public. Within the main results, based on indices such as education, employability and increasing access to resources, there was the participants’ socioeconomic improvement. As a conclusion, it was detected that changes based on the educational opportunities reached more individual and family context of the out-coming participants although meeting challenges for social transformation.
