When the Post-graduation Transition Foreshadows Professional Mobility

This article provides an overview of school to work or higher education transitions of young graduates from cantons Geneva and Vaud, 18 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.
