Abstract

In Switzerland, the basic vocational training system is attended by two thirds of the students finishing compulsory schooling. If this training model seems an appropriate remedy in the contemporary international landscape, little is known about the processes by which an apprenticeship is obtained. On the basis of a qualitative survey of apprentices and recruiters, this article unveils the « hidden curriculum » in the seeking of an apprenticeship position and its consequences for the students. This curriculum includes the mastery of a certain know-how depending of the type of world at play in the different companies. © Tous droits réservés.
