This book explains how education policies offering improved
transitions to work and higher-level study can widen the gaps
between successful and disadvantaged groups of young people.
Centred on an original study of ongoing further education and
apprenticeship reforms in England, the book traces the emergence of
distinctive patterns of transition that magnify existing societal
inequalities. It illustrates the distinction between mainly male
‘technical elites’ on STEM-based courses and the preparation
for low-level service roles described as ‘welfare
vocationalism’, whilst digital and creative fields ill-suited to
industry learning head for a ‘new economy precariat’. Yet the
authors argue that social justice can nevertheless be advanced in
the spaces between learning and work. The book provides essential
insights for academics and postgraduate students researching
technical, vocational and higher education. It will also appeal to
professionals with interests in contemporary educational policy and
emerging practice.
