Abstract
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).
