The aim of this article is to describe the always uncertain scope of clinic of activity in a project commissioned by the French institution for the legal protection of young people about the work of professional educators in a semi-open establishment for young offenders. After describing the mandate, its objectives and the methodology used, we will review our intervention step by step to show how the psychologist’s work aims to shift the institutional barriers that inhibit the development of professional occupations. In this way, we examine both the objectives and scope of the intervention, in addition to our own difficulties with regard to the position of the institution and its expectations in commissioning our action.
