TEVA: Transition from school to working life

The aim of the longitudinal study known as TEVA (transition from school to working life) carried out by the Training Observatory is to analyse the careers of young people on leaving the school system.

Those young people leaving school for the first time during or at the end of the school year in which the examination to obtain one of the certificates or diplomas of professional training or of general or classic secondary education is taken, who are less than 25 years old, are followed in detail during their first three years of working life (36 months).

The data used is taken from the administrative databases of the Ministry of Education, Children and Youth (Ministère de l’Education nationale, de l’Enfance et de la Jeunesse - MENJE), the Higher Education Documentation and Information Centre (Centre de Documentation et d’Information sur l’Enseignement Supérieur - CEDIES) and the General Inspectorate of Social Security (Inspection Générale de la Sécurité Sociale - IGSS).
