At the transition from school to work, important decisions are made that prepare a person's further life course. This volume presents new findings from the diverse field of transition research across Switzerland, drawing on various disciplines such as psychology, sociology, educational sciences, and educational economics. Theoretical foundations and empirical evidence are developed for the analysis and management of significant life passages. As far as possible, recommendations for action for stakeholders in vocational education in Switzerland are also discussed, which may also be of interest in other countries.
