Abstract

From Social Guarantee Programmes to Vocational ones for Initial Skills.Profiles and Local DevicesSalto de línea Salto de línea This article shows the main conclusions reached by the GRET (Education and Work Research Group, Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona) after a decade of research in the field of training devices for young people who have failed at compulsory school.A brief assessment of social guarantee programs (PGS) is presented along with two reflections which have proved to be useful for the new education Act (LOE) and those vocational programmes dealing with initial skills (PCPI), which will substitute the PGS.These reflections have to do with the number of candidates registered in this kind of programmes and their profiles. On the other hand, the second question has to do with the way local devices for the integration of young people are coordinated and related to each other.This study provides some ideas for the social and political debate on the meaning of inclusive school and the role of PCPI.
