Full text not available from this repository.When making the transition from compulsory school to upper secondary education and training, young people in Switzerland have two main options: company-based apprenticeships or exclusively school-based programmes. Based on Bourdieu, we assume that schools and training firms each have their own particular selection procedures. We expect these different procedures to change the patterns of the influence of social origin on transition – even when controlling for school achievement. We test our assumptions by applying event history analyses to the TREE data. As expected, cultural capital of the family of origin is highly relevant for access to school-based programmes, whereas economic capital favours the entry into apprenticeships.
