(European Research Network Vocational Education and Training, 17.12.2018) Nägele, Christof; Neuenschwander, Markus; Rodcharoen, Patsawee
Context: Vocational education and training enables young people to quickly and effectively enter the labour market. To advance their careers and to develop their professional expertise even more, they must then further their education through higher vocational or higher academic education. In this study, we looked at young people at work: What motivates them to move on towards higher education? As they are engaged in their jobs, their work situations will a ect their further educational engagement. We hypothesised that individuals will more likely move towards higher education if their workplaces o er learning opportunities and social support. Human capacities, attitudes, and goals at work develop mainly in informal or non-formal learning situations and in their interactions with their teams. We tested the e ect of these workplace factors by taking into account additional important predictors of educational pathways, such as sociodemographic factors (social background, nationality, gender) and motivational factors (values).
