During the professional educational program, pupils at Pescar have acquired team work habits and have reached consensus ideas from debates and dialogues and learned to respect other opinions, in spite their radical differences. Still more, they learned to speak in front of a big audience in a correct way, focusing on the presentation and defence of ideas. Students took conscience of the importance of their future choices, especially with areas like studies and work. Some of them were already decided, although they knew they have to work hard to have the possibility to study. They, sincerely, valued the experience that this program provided them, like learning about the way a big company works from inside, and the possibility of doing internships, specially because is the kind of opportunity that their parents didn't have. Due to the rotation in different areas of the company, they have learned about the importance of their own initiative in all kind of jobs and areas of an organization, and also learned about the necessity to overcome themselves day after day. According to the characteristics of their ages, and the social and familiar situation in which they live, they have demonstrated a great adaptation capacity to concrete and complex situations?? transmitted Pescar Programa Teacher in the project report in 2006.
