This paper focuses on popular education from a very specific perspective: employment training for underachieving and excluded young adult learners from low socioeconomic backgrounds Its point of departure is a case study involving the Parque Miraflores vocational training center in Seville, Spain, which operated for two decades as an initiative of popular social movements. The text begins with a discussion of the principles of participant and popular educationas applied to the vocational training centers that originated in Spain during the democratic period following Franco's dictatorship. The current framework of employment training is also explored, with an emphasis upon the need to combine vocational training with social and personal development. In conclusion, the paper highlights the dimensions of participative and popular education revealed in the present case under analysis and comments upon the implications for socioeconomic, cultural, trade union, academic, and occupational training.
