Abstract

he present research under the title Processes of Permanence and Future Perspectives: The Experience of the Young People of the Social Entrance Examination at PUC Goiás, is inserted in the Research Line Education, Society and Culture. Its main objective was to understand who are the young beneficiaries of the Social Vestibular Program of the Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás (PUC Goiás), as well as their process of permanence construction and their future prospects after graduation. To understand this phenomenon, we resorted to scholars on the subject, such as: Bourdieu (1990), Bonnewitz (2003), Dayrell (2007) Cavalcante (2010), Cunha (1997), Dourado (2010), Pais (1990), Peixoto (2011), Piotto (2011), Zago (2006). The Program was implemented in 2010 in order to reduce the dropout of undergraduate courses and the inclusion of young people from the popular classes. The object of study was built from the reflexive sociology of Pierre Bourdieu (2001), which presupposes a series of procedures, which involve since the deconstruction of scientifically accepted truths, the reflection on the object beyond its social or political importance enshrined by discourse, the construction and methodological reconstruction until the detachment of the object, as an important and essential condition in the process of sociological analysis. It also discusses the history and analysis of the field of Brazilian higher education, democratization and inclusion policies in Brazil for this level of education, the concept of youth and the inclusion of young people in higher education. As a methodological procedure, an online questionnaire was prepared with open and closed questions, the link was sent by whatsApp to 481 beneficiary students of the Program and obtained a sample of 120 respondents that fit the research profile, being young people from 18 to 29 years old enrolled in the seventh. or eighth period in Business, Archeology, Nursing, Pedagogy, Computer Science, Biological Sciences, Law and Journalism. The courses chosen were those with the largest number of students enrolled through the Social Entrance Examination at 07 Schools and 01 PUC Goiás Institute. Interviews were conducted with eight respondents from the questionnaires of each course. The research points out that the young scholarship holder of the social entrance exam when having access to the program demonstrates uncertainties in choosing the course. As for permanence have financial difficulties and learning. Regarding future prospects, young people are distressed because they feel unprepared for the job.
