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.

In France, however, this convergence between men and women has been driven in part by a deterioration in…
When Education has finished

Over the past twenty years, the Céreq has conducted a series of triennial surveys, with a representative sample of all young people leaving the education system in a given year. The main objective of these Generation surveys is to…
One might imagine that after seven years on the labour market, young people have finished with school-to-work transition and started forging a career, taking advantage of the opportunities for advancement available at their firms or gaining promotion by moving from one employer to another. However, the passage between school-to-work transition and starting a career can follow many different…
