Abstract

The role of training in workplaces in the labour market integration of graduates of education cycles: the case of AsturiasSalto de línea Salto de línea This article studies the labour market integration of lower and upper secondary education students within the geographical limits of the Principality of Asturias. Using a representative sample of school-leavers in the academic year 2000-01, we have obtained different rates of integration according to gender, type of work, level of education studies, previous vocational experience and the completion of non-recognised training courses which might serve to supplement a school-leaver’s education. One of the key aspects in order to gain access to the labour market is the period of Training in Workplaces (TW), and therefore, we have dedicated a section to analysing this way of professional integration and to the opinions of the interviewees on the usefulness of TW. In order to evaluate the education cycles in accordance with the degree of labour market integration of the school-leavers, it is important to differentiate between those jobs which are connected with the courses taken and those that are not. For this reason, the net effect of the education has been separated in order to determine to what degree this has contributed to gaining access to employment.This approximation was made on the basis of the subjective information provided by the employees. In respect of the results, after considering only the jobs connected with the training received, it was observed that there is a significant reduction in the rates of access to employment in certain sectors, such as agricultural and chemical activities, or social, cultural and community services.The results are better for personal image and the different types of jobs connected with the construction sector and industry.
