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.

The question of retraining lies at the heart of current employment policy issues. However, wanting to change occupation is no guarantee of completing a retraining programme, even less of finding a job. 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…
Against the background of a weak economic recovery, access to employment for young people in the 2013 cohort was slightly more favourable than for the preceding cohort. In 2016, three years after they had left the education system, one young worker in five was looking for a job; in the case of those with only lower secondary qualifications, the figure was one in two. These levels are…
Young people who left higher education in 2007 have found it more difficult to find employment as a result of the economic crisis, as the 2010 survey of 2007 cohort of HE leavers shows. However, although unemployment has increased, job quality has, on average, been maintained.Moreover, while vocational bachelor's degrees are proving successful, the other vocational qualifications do not all…
Women skirting the edge of crisis...
A first for Céreq's Génération survey: at the end of 2008, results showed that the unemployment rate for young women had fallen below that for their male counterparts. Higher shares of young men have no qualifications and consequently are suffering more than women from the decline in the number of unskilled jobs. Nevertheless, women still tend to be employed in less stable, lower-paid jobs.…
Searching for information, advice, career guidance, positioning recommendations, obtaining confirmation of eligibility, preparing application f i l e s , and undergoing assessments: the pathway to obtaining a diploma in France via the Validation of Acquired Experience (VAE) scheme is long and complex, as many candidates have agreed. They are expected to collect together a large number of…
Although unemployment is endemic among those under 25 years of age, we still do not have a very clear picture of the young people who continue to haunt the fringes of the labour market after leaving the educational system. One tends to imagine that they have few if any diplomas and that they are mostly boys. In fact, those with the baccalauréat and those with no qualifications account for…
