| Summary: | This article discusses the conceptions of youth, work and field of young people who enter
into professional education after the conclusion of regular high school and how the life trajectories of
these subjects and the formation for the work in the field influence their life projects, dialoguing with
aspects that characterize the diversity of Brazilian youth. The data explored in the text were obtained
through a qualitative research that followed different stages, such as: analysis of institutional documents
of the school where the subjects study, application of questionnaires with the students, realization of focus
groups with the students and individual interviews with students of the course and with the manager of
the educational institution. The socio-historical approach in the study was significant to collaborate in
understanding the scenario of the young subjects of the research and its relationship with the
environment over time, in interface with the conceptual debate of the Field Education. The research
revealed signs that the linkage of young people to rural areas is weakened, although they opt for a
predominantly rural course, students do not demonstrate much connection with the territory and its
political and social issues
