When the post-graduation transition foreshadows professional mobility: Four professional certifications in the cantons of Vaud and Geneva; Quand la transition post-diplôme préfigure les mobilités professionnelles : quatre certifications professionnelles dans les cantons de Vaud et Genève

Abstract

This article provides an overview of school to work or higher education transitions of young graduates from cantons Geneva and Vaud, eighteen months after their professional diploma. The diploma requirement level as well as the way the training is structured has a clear impact on the nature of the transition. Indeed, apprenticeship graduates with dual (school and enterprise) training have a better integration into the labour market than those with school-only training, while the latter are more likely to pursue their training. © Tous droits réservés.
