VALORE, Luciana Albanese  e  VIARO, Renee Volpato. Profession and society in the life project of adolescents receiving vocational guidance. Rev. bras. orientac. prof [online]. 2007, vol.8, n.2, pp.57-70. ISSN 1984-7270.

This study examines the discourse of high school students receiving vocational guidance. It aims at investigating their expectations about their life project, as well as how they perceive the relation between profession and society. Considering their contemporaries’ social sceneries, the hypothesis formulated was that such a project would be, predominantly, individualistic. By the analysis of their discourse, it was observed that, however the individual project seemed to be influenced by the historical totality, the social images about the profession suggest a certain resistance to the mercantile logic. It was observed that traditional values, such as altruism and solidarity are present in their discourses as a humanitarian perspective to their professional life. Such a result points out the importance of vocational guidance as a practice also focusing the possibility of rupture of socially institutionalized discourses’.
