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…

While low-skilled blue- and white-collar workers are the ones most likely to seek a change, they are also the ones who benefit least from a retraining programme. Workers’ desires to retrain are…
Tracking the 2010 cohort of leavers: preliminary results after 7 years How have the French young people who left the education system in 2010 at all levels and with or without qualifications higher than the lower secondary certificate fared in the labour market? What do the first 7 years of their working lives tell us about the structural changes taking…
And women became better qualified than men...
Over the last two decades across Europe, young women’s position in the labour market has improved. Better qualified and with participation rates on the increase, they have also begun to narrow the pay gap and to gain access to occupations and sectors that used to be largely male preserves. In France, however, this convergence between men and women has been driven in part by a deterioration in…
In 2013, the share of young women employed in management positions three years after their entry into the labour market reached parity for the first time with that for young men. Nevertheless, their access to management jobs at the beginning of their working lives still does not match the scale of their investment in education. The process of catching up with their male counterparts by…
