Abstract

In recent years, the Brazilian scene, has been increasing the visibility of the Youth Public Policy related software. It is noticed that during the twentieth century, changes arising from the Industrial Revolution and the rise of capitalist production models produced new social demands that challenged the relationship between education and work, in particular the training of professionals and their insertion in the market. Arise in this context the legalization of professionalization of young people, in order to assure the right to education with dignity and integration into the labor market. Technical and professional education amounts then linked to the possibility of ensuring social function for these young people. Thus, from 2000, they began to gain visibility of the Youth Public Policy, including here the Learning Law. Supported by the related law, we find the Young Apprentice Program, linked to the National Service for Commercial Education (SENAC), as a possibility of professional integration of young people 14-24 years. The research outlined here sought to map said about the Young Apprentice Program and, therefore, discuss about the statements that permeate it has produced some performativity of young subjects. They were mapped 23 testimonials Youth available in the virtual Portal SENAC, who participated in the Young Apprentice Program. It was revealed that the learner experience tells us about a social transformation mode and insert these, said as "inexperienced" in social subjects. With this, it leads us to think that these young people and their experiences as learners speak of the emergence of subjects from a consumer society and that need to invest and enhance certain qualities to become "mercadories salable". Therefore, these subjects are constituted as economic subjects and of interest where there is a valorization of individual qualities. He then seek ways to learn to work increasingly with excellence in order to increase their consumption spaces. And to become salable and gain power consumption, this man is socially legitimated. The study proposed here, then, is intended as a possibility to discuss how contemporary forms of social legitimacy (consumer) tell us a production of certain forms of "being young".
