Contemporary scholarship emphasizes that academic failure is associated with a set of unfavourable socio-environmental variables. However, educational policies continue to be rooted in conservative beliefs that attribute academic performance to cognitive capacities. As a result, although academic performance depends on processes of sociocultural adaptation, the school setting continues to provide curricular transmission adjusted to autochthonal middle class ideology. In this way, disadvantaged sociocultural collectives find it hard to reach the preestablished expectations of educational institutions. Thus, young people who do not succeed academically experience disadvantages in constructing conventionally successful trajectories. Compensatory training, focused on reducing elevated school dropout rates, offers educational alternatives to provide new educational and social opportunities. In this context, the aim of this research is to develop immersion at a centre for new educational opportunities to identify what theoretical-epistemological logic the positioning of this model of intervention for school dropout assumes, and to analyze the incidence of the intervention on the reconstruction of academic and occupational expectations.
