To investigate individual trajectories is to get to grips with career trajectories and initial and continuing training pathways. Céreq analyses all these trajectories and pathways and their evolution, in a context in which there tends to be greater permeability between employment and education/training and between initial and continuing education/training. Céreq bases its studies on field observations, interviews and statistical surveys. Among the last named, the Générations surveys (a national programme that tracks the early years of the working lives of young people with all levels of education and training) and the Defis surveys (on continuing training for employees) provide insights into these trajectories in all their complexity and over their entire duration.

Since it was set up in 2010, the voluntary community service scheme has become more diversified, with regard to both its objectives and the uses made of it. Analysis of its role in young people’s education-to-work transition reveals the importance of the stage in individual trajectories at which young people volunteer, of their level of qualification and of the type of education and training…
This paper examines how students decide whether to enrol in university or attend preparatory classes after leaving high school. It is to my knowledge the first paper to investigate whether students attending preparatory classes are more sensitive to expected wages than those attending university. To tackle this question, I first provide a theoretical framework that incorporates both monetary…
Created in 1968 as part of the first wave of school democratisation, the technological baccalaureate in management has seen its name and content change along with developments in the education system, but its image remains less positive than that of the general baccalaureate sections. To what extent is this reputation linked to the integration indicators for graduates from this technological…
How has the apprenticeship landscape changed since the Law of 2018 profoundly transformed its framework? A Céreq study conducted in 2023 shows that whilst the quantitative objective has undoubtedly been achieved, it is largely due to the involvement of new players in the apprenticeship field. This Céreq Bref provides a portrait of these new features involved in apprenticeship training, whether…
Experimented for 5 years, the ‘Prépa apprentissage’ scheme is part of the training support strategy introduced as part of the ‘Plan d'investissement dans les compétences’ (Skills Investment Plan). Aimed at the most vulnerable among young people, the preparatory courses are designed to give them the opportunity to get to grips with the world of work. Depending on the participants and the young…
As a consequence of the general increase in qualification levels, the proportion of young people entering the labour market with a master’s degree is steadily increasing. Although this diploma is one of the highest school-leaving qualifications, not all graduates are equally well integrated into the labour market. How can these differences in career paths between young people with the same…
