ABSTRACT
The research aims to analyze the affinity between the specialty of secondary level studies, the integrality of training, and the occupational trajectory ten years after graduation. The approach was longitudinal, in which retrospective interviews were conducted with young graduates of technical secondary education in four jurisdictions in Argentina: Ciudad and Greater Buenos Aires, Neuquén, and Salta. Preliminary results are presented in 2018. The training-occupational trajectories of young people who graduated in high school in 2006 are reconstructed. From the analysis it appears that the training received enables different labor insertions, but the possibilities are strongly mediated by geographical location, family support, and the influence of traditional gender stereotypes that highlight and limit changes in different directions and job opportunities.
