Las prácticas de orientación vocacional emergen en las sociedades capitalistas industriales del siglo XX, en el comienzo, éstas fueron entendidas como una respuesta a las demandas adaptativas de estas sociedades emergentes. Este estudio pretende describir la percepción de estudiantes de educación media sobre la orientación vocacional que les brindó el programa "Yo quiero ser Profesor" el cual es desarrollado por una universidad del sur de Chile. La naturaleza de este estudio es cualitativa, por lo tanto, se utilizó un muestreo intencional de casos típicos y la muestra estuvo conformada por 4 estudiantes de educación media que asistieron al programa de orientación vocacional. La recolección de datos se realizó mediante una entrevista semi-estructurada que tenía 10 preguntas iniciales que se profundizaron según el objetivo de la investigación, esto fue complementado con notas de campo, memorándum de síntesis y registro de audio. Se utilizó el método de análisis de contenido jerárquico ponderado para analizar los resultados, éstos indican que los participantes evalúan positivamente la orientación vocacional que el programa ofrece, consideran que un aspecto fundamental del programa es la orientación psicológica y académica. Los resultados se discuten según la literatura propuesta y se indican las limitaciones y líneas futuras de investigación.
