Abstract

This research presents reflections on the results of an intersectoral program of social responsibility and social inclusion. The purpose of this initiative was to promote the training and inclusion, in the tourism labor market, of young people from low income families. The issue that motivated this research was: how do young people from low income families perceive and take the opportunity of having professional education and the chance to work in the touristic organizations? The article materializes an attempt of reflecting about the results of the mentioned program, confronting them with management and sociology research.
