The study aims to analyzing a group intervention with students of the third year of secondary education to reflect upon professional choice. 70 students of a public school aging from 17 and 19 years participated. Groups were conducted at the student’s classroom and were coordinated by trainees of a Psychology undergrad course. Based on the concerns with professional choices and aided by of discussion triggers such as brief questionnaires and songs, the students reflected upon the process of professional choice in their lives. Themes discussed were: work market, influences of family and the social environment, adolescence and how they experience the changes in this stage of their development. The intervention was considered a space in which these contents could be discussed and elaborated, both by didactic means and by group discussion. It made possible the discussion about the desires and world views, that ultimately lead to the enrichment of the classroom environment, the interdisciplinary work and the students development.
