It is interesting to analyze the participation of social work students in the development of the training curriculum. The attitudes that trainers promote among their students are fundamental in the transmission of the professional habitus. We thus propose the hypothesis that the experience of participation as a student informs the way future social workers will view participation in professionalization issues and make room for the people they support. To analyze student participation, we will follow the path of the evaluations that students and trainers make of the training apparatus, looking at their consideration and their repercussions for the future of the training, at the scale of a college. Thus, we will show that the creation of training arrangements is the responsibility of the trainers. In line with a Foucauldian reading in terms of power, students must hand over their words and proposals to the trainers, who, in a discretionary way, will decide on future steps. The only entity the students can produce is themselves. They have no real or direct participation in the construction of what concerns them.
