Abstract: This paper aims to discuss the articulation among gender, technical-professional education in Agriculture and life projects of rural youth in the Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia in the north of Brazil and the Centros de Formación Agraria in the north of Spain. This is an exploratory-descriptive study, which was carried out by mixed methods. A questionnaire with 22 open and 12 closed questions was answered by 130 male and 67 female participants (142 Brazilians and 55 Spaniards). Furthermore, four in-depth interviews with school administrators (02 Brazilians and 02 Spaniards) and two with rural youngsters were carried out for data triangulation to verify and validate the gathered information. Quantitative data were analyzed by descriptive statistics procedures, while qualitative data categorization followed the thematic coding process. The results show a link between technical vocational training and the life projects of young students, with a strong difference marked by gender, and the option for agricultural training among young Brazilians has an instrumental function of opening possibilities for access to other courses or other areas of training, while Spanish boys are more clearly familiarly related to agricultural activities.
