Correspondence between training and jobs: Case of the FSHSE/ULSHB diplomas

Abstract

Purpose : The main objective of this paper was to identify the factors that are likely to influence FSHSE graduates to access a job related to the initial training field.

Design/methodology/approach : The data used in this study came from a personal survey of two hundred and three (203) FSHSE graduates. The methodological approach relied mainly on the construction and estimation of a multinomial logistic regression model for factor identification.

Findings : The results obtained by estimating the multinomial logistic model revealed a number of factors explaining graduates, access to jobs corresponding to their initial training. These factors are: training stream, type of diploma, age group, internship, place of residence, parents, social background.

Originality/value : As a theoretical contribution, this study enriches the theoretical lit­erature supported by theorists of human capital and the conclusions that have been put forward in other empirical works.

From a methodological point of view, the originality of this study lies in the fact that it focuses on the problem of matching initial training to jobs in the specific case of the FSHSE. In addition to the enriching theoretical and methodological contributions, our research also enables us to make proposals to FSHSE managers and to enlighten employ­ment decision-makers.
