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.

The vocational baccalauréat 30 years on
In the most recent issue of Formation Emploi, a number of researchers explore the many facets of this vocational qualification, which was introduced in 1985. Does the vocational bac produce professionals? Does it contribute to the promotion and development of training for future workshop technicians, as originally envisaged? Has it made a major contribution to achieving the goal of ‘80% of…
