Los jóvenes que fueron acogidos en medios sustitutivos generalmente encuentran bloqueos importantes en sus transiciones diversas a la vida adulta. En comparación con otros jóvenes, acumulan más dificultades psicosociales y rupturas con el mundo familiar. Paradójicamente, están confrontados más a menudo con la exigencia de autonomía y de independencia.
Consciente de los problemas que plantea el apoyo a los jóvenes a la hora de finalizar su estancia en los centros de juventud cuando se aproximan la edad adulta, la Asociación de Centros de Juventud de Quebec implantó el Proyecto de Cualificación de Jóvenes (PQJ) en cuatro de estos centros de juventud de Quebec. El proyecto pretende preparar mejor a estos jóvenes para la vida autónoma, favorecer su cualificación y protegerlos mejor después de su salida. Según los promotores del proyecto, los jóvenes atendidos desde el PQJ constituyen el 10 % de los jóvenes más vulnerables de la clientela de los centros de juventud.
Nuestra pretensión, a partir de este artículo, es precisar los aprendizajes para el desarrollo de la intervención que pueden ser obtenidos desde el PQJ. A partir de la evaluación de este proyecto piloto, podremos presentar su modelo de intervención, particularmente en lo que se refiere a sus componentes distintivos de una intervención más usual. Presentaremos luego de que manera la intervención contribuye a la autonomía, cualificación y apoyo relacional. En conclusión, pondremos en evidencia los debates que provoca este proyecto, particularmente desde el punto de vista de su generalización en el conjunto de los centros de juventud de Quebec.

Youth who have been in social services care often face important obstacles on their path to adulthood. While they’re more prone to psychosocial difficulties and to family discord, Society demands they quickly become autonomous and independent.
In order to better prepare youth for their end of care, the Projet Qualification des Jeunes (PQJ) has been implemented in four youth centers in Quebec . Mindful of the specific issues they face, the project’s goal is to better prepare youth for autonomous living, to increase their employability and to better assist them after they leave care. According to the project’s promoters, the targeted population represents 10% of youth centers’ most vulnerable population.
In this article, we seek to present the lessons learned regarding intervention and its development. First, in light of the project’s evaluation, we’ll present its intervention model, and distinctive elements. Secondly, we’ll show how this intervention promotes autonomy, employability and relational support. In conclusion, we’ll discuss the challenges it poses, particularly those involving its deployment to all specialized social services in Quebec .
