By making use of Bleger´s perspective of the work into institutional contexts, it is presented an experience developed in a specific institution, located in Nova Friburgo, which had as main purpose the preparation of adolescents for the local labor market. As a conclusion it is pointed out the pertinence of Institutional Psychology, since it allows not only subjective transformation, by leting the institutional actors be the agents of their lives, as well as institutional transformation, by making its dynamic more flexible and less focused on authority.
