Les formations professionnelles de l'enseignement supérieur en France au prisme de l'insertion et de la mobilité sociale des diplômés

2014

La professionnalisation des formations dans l'enseignement supérieur en France s'est développée ces dernières décennies avec pour objectif d'améliorer l'employabilité des jeunes diplômés dans un contexte de dégradation de leurs conditions d'insertion. À partir des trois dernières enquêtes Génération du Céreq, ce travail questionne la performance de ces filières professionnelles par rapport aux filières plus académiques de l'enseignement supérieur, en période de crise économique. Certaines formations, comme par exemple les licences professionnelles, garantissent toujours de bonnes conditions d'insertion, pour autant les effets concernant la mobilité sociale en début de carrière, sont plus nu…

Goal Importance and Related Achievement Beliefs and Emotions during the Transition from Vocational School to Work: Antecedents and Consequences

2002

Abstract This study investigated the extent to which the appraisal of work-related goals in terms of their importance, level of achievement, and positive emotions would predict young adults' subsequent success in finding a job after graduation from vocational school and the extent to which their success in dealing with this transition would predict how they reappraise their goals later on. Two hundred fifty young adults who were facing a transition from vocational school to work were studied at three points: while they were still at school, 8 months after their graduation, and 1 1 2 years after graduation. They completed the revised Personal Project Analysis inventory, focusing on work-rela…

Effects of the School-to-Work Group Method among young people

2007

Abstract This study examines effects of the School-to-Work Group Method among 17–25-year-old young people facing the transition from vocational college to work. After baseline measurement ( N  = 416) participants were randomized into experimental and control groups. The results of ten month follow-up ( N  = 334) showed notable beneficial impacts of the group method on both employment itself and on how well it matched participants’ education and personal career plans. The group method also had a significant preventive effect on psychological distress and depression symptoms among those initially at risk of suffering from mental disorder. Moreover, it considerably increased participants’ pers…

The study is part of the longitudinal Finnish Educational Transitions (FinEdu) study, and used data from secondary education onwards, following 821 participants from age 17 to 25. The developmental dynamics showed that, in particular, young adults’ life satisfaction predicted their study/work engagement both during their p…

School-to-Work Transition of Engineering graduates and PhDs in France: which consequences from a new tax credit for employers who hire young PhD grad…

2018

International audience; French governments have taken many initiatives towards strengthening the employability of PhD graduates in the private sector. The "Young Doctors Program" (DJD) was introduced in 1999 in order to encourage R&D employers to hire recent PhD graduates by atargeted measure of the Research Tax Credit. Since 2008, it has provided a substantial cost reduction if firms recruit recent PhD graduates. Our research seeks to address the positive impact of this program by examining the consequences such cost reduction have on the beginning of the careers of PhDs and graduates in engineering. Data from two national follow-up surveys conducted in 2007 and 2013 are analyzed to determ…
