Abstract
In this paper we aim to recognize the incidence of workforce training courses for immigrant people in Barcelona from 2009 to 2011. From a qualitative approach we conducted interviews and participating observations in these courses. We identify that this social intervention strategy enjoys a unanimous positive assessment by policymakers. In consequence, we found a lack of systematic reflection on the limits that this social intervention strategy has. For instance, the heterogeneous objectives assigned to it or the role played by productive structure as a conditioning of their potentialities. Fieldwork data reveals worth expectations about it but much more modest. That is to say, the systematization of previous knowledge and the transmission of practical knowledge for the possible future work.Downloads
