vol. 26

The paper reports the main results of a research that aimed to explore in depth the role that the experiences within the Salesians’ Vocational Training Centers played in influencing the personal and professional profile of former students. To this end, 54 former students from 6 Vocational Training Centers who have recognized as successful in work, personal life and social commitments were participated in the study. The research is not intended to “prove” that training leads to educational success, but to identify the conditions under which the training could promote educational success. Exploring the biographies of some of the lived experiences of former students, I was interested in particular to know what had allowed the trainees - who often come to CFP with heavy burdens, and with great difficulty against a certain type of school - to enhance their potential and succeed as adults, as respected professionals and individuals capable of taking responsibility for themselves and others. Research on training and life stories of former students become therefore also - and above all - a research on the practices of teachers and characteristics of learning environments, from the view of former students. Through the details of the stories collected and analyzed, it is possible to learn the characteristics of environments and educational practices that could assist in finding out the direction for offering best training. The contribution is divided into three parts. In the first, I tried to give a detailed account of how the research comes to take the current shape. The second part deals with the results focusing on the characteristics of the educational environment of the Vocational Training Centers and intervention strategies that the participants have found to be keys to their growth. The third part is the conclusion and offers a discussion of what emerges from the analysis of the data and highlights its major assets.

The article is divided into three sections which are intended to complement each other. The first presents the design and organisation of vocational education and training in Switzerland with the canton of Valais as an example. It forms part of the general education system and relies mainly on a dual track approach to learning (business – school) while being attentive to the labour market (qualifications – employability). The second part, after referring to important contextual elements (socio-economic, legislative aspects, trends in educational and professional career orientation, …), develops the career orientation programme within two sectors: firstly, that of schools (13-16 years) and secondly that of adults. The third and last part expounds the particular problems concerning the insertion of young people: the delicate transition between school and work. A specific measure is presented, that of the “Semester of Motivation” (SEMO) for young people between 15 and 24 years of age and facing a rupture in their school – work transition.

Artykuł składa się z trzech sekcji, które wzajemnie się uzupełniają. W części pierwszej przedstawiono strukturę i organizację szkolnictwa zawodowego oraz praktyk zawodowych w Szwajcarii na przykładzie kantonu Valais. Jest to część składowa ogólnego systemu edukacji, która jest uzależniona od dwutorowego podejścia do nauczania (biznes – szkoła), przy jednoczesnym poświęceniu odpowiedniej uwagi specyfice rynku pracy (kwalifikacje – zdolność do zatrudnienia). Druga sekcja, w odniesieniu do ważnych elementów kontekstualnych (aspektów socjoekonomicznych i prawnych, trendów edukacyjnych i orientacji zawodowej), dotyczy programu orientacji zawodowej realizowanego w dwóch grupach wiekowych: w szkołach (dzieci 13-16 lat) oraz wśród dorosłych. Trzecia, ostatnia część przedstawia określone problemy dotyczące aktywizacji zawodowej młodych ludzi – cienkiej linii, która oddziela świat szkoły od świata pracy. Zaprezentowano specyficzne rozwiązanie, tzw. SEMO (semestr motywacji), skierowane do osób w wieku 15 do 24 lat przeżywających trudności związane z okresem przejściowym pomiędzy szkołą a pracą.
