Under its remit to investigate the relationship between education and employment, Céreq is involved in the process of designing vocational qualifications and is therefore both actor in and observer of the institutional system put in place to manage the offer of public and private certifications. It is an actor through its participation in the consultative bodies that make up this system, supporting the dialogue between the stakeholders with the results of the various types of studies conducted within the establishment. From this position, Céreq is able to observe how the social compromise on the levels of qualification required to carry out the various types of jobs, as well as the desirable degree of matching between training and jobs, is negotiated over time. In a changing context, the question of the regulation of this certification policy and the roles of the various stakeholders is at the heart of Céreq’s deliberations.

Considerable use is made of initial education, continuing training in its various forms and block-release programmes in a continuum that…
Although employees in low-skilled jobs are as likely as any others to express an interest in receiving training, they actually submit significantly fewer applications for training. How can this gap be explained? While a wish to receive training goes hand in hand with employees' perception of their career prospects, in conjunction with their aspirations, the submission of applications for…
This project looks at continuing training not only at the level of the individual or firm but also from a more contextual and systemic perspective. It encourages exploration of the regulations governing continuing training, particularly at the level of the organisation of the firm and the factors influencing it.
