摘要：The objective of the article is to analyse the process of vocational integration of high school and college leavers of Quebec five years after they left the school system. In the present economic context, these young people risk to be relegated on the fringe of the job market. Our theoretical perspective is based on the assumptions that they do not form an homogeneous group and are actors in their integration despite the multiple factors shaping their school success and the constraints they have to face in the labour market. Our conception of the vocational integration refers to their capacity to achieve stability in the labour market, to maintain their autonomy and to form realizable life projects. A qualitative retrospective analysis has been conducted from semi-structured interviews of 99 young people. Four types have been constructed from the data: (a) young people who have achieved stability in the labour market since two years, are able to provide for their needs and to form realizable life projects (b) young people who are still in process of attaining this objective, (c) young people who are in a precarious situation and (d) young people who are on the fringe of the labour market. High school leavers were compared to college leavers, as well as those of the general education or pre-university tracks to the vocational or technical one, and male and female.
