YOUNG APPRENTICE PROGRAM: IMPACTS ON SCHOOL LIFE AND VULNERABILITY OF AFRODESCENDENT YOUTH.
Young Apprentice Program - Vocational Education - Prejudice, Discrimination and Racial Inequalities in the Labor Market
to qualify for the world of work impacts its target audience, the youth, and is reflected in their education,
not only education-professional, but also in their schooling formal, ie non-vocational.
Understanding the young apprentice program is important because it is a first opportunity for formal / professional
employability and training for young participants. Participation in this Program gives the young person access
to the rights provided for in the labor laws in force in the country, such as: registration in the work register,
vacations, deposit of guarantee fund, transportation assistance, medical treatment, salary proportional
to working hours, as also respect your school schedule.
The focus of this research stems from my experience in schools of the Rio de Janeiro Municipal Network,
both as a teacher and as a teacher of the Youth and Adult Education Program (PEJA). From the year 2000,
initially as a teacher, and from April 2015 in the role of Guiding Teacher (P.O), I assumed essentially pedagogical
functions, among them: class counseling, guidance to students and regent teachers. From my observations and
alerted by discussions about racial inequalities in the labor market, I am interested in knowing if in the PJA
there is prejudice and racial discrimination in selection criteria and processes, and throughout the experience
of the young in the companies ; as well as the disproportionate incidence of blacks and whites
in certain economic sectors and functions.
