Young apprentices in the Brazilian labor market

The debate around employability and the integration of young people into the job market has been very relevant in Brazil. From an early age, we are exposed to the demands of employability, which can often be accompanied by frustration for young people who start their professional journey without proper guidance. Supposedly with the aim of qualifying them and thus promoting their professional initiation, many programs have been created by the Brazilian Federal Government to enable the necessary training in the transition from childhood to adulthood. In this context, it is assumed that professional apprenticeship, as theory acquired in the training institution and as practice exercised in the contracting company, allows young people to acquire a profession, achieve their first experience as a worker and thus begin to build and consolidate their employability and, moreover, their professional identity. The challenge of integrating young people into the job market is a challenge for young people themselves and their families, for society and for governments, which is why we set out to analyze the integration of young people into the job market through apprenticeships.
