The purpose of this article is to present part of the results of an investigation that aimed to assess the impacts that access to higher education had on the lives of a group of graduates of the Sociology program, offered in the eastern branch of the Universidad de Antioquia. To achieve this, a study with a complementary approach was carried out, through the implementation of techniques such as the survey and the semi-structured interview, in order to account for the objective and subjective aspects of the experience. The main finding evidenced that professional training allowed the personal fulfillment of the graduates as the foundation of the constitution of their life project; This caused transformations within their family groups and demonstrated that the scope of public policy for higher education goes beyond guaranteeing the population’s access to vocational training.

Palabras clave : Public Policy; Higher Education; Life Project; Sociology; Social Mobility.
