Abstract

This study’s goal was to explore how new learning cultures might capture the many new needs of the retail industry sector and how apprentices can be trained for future work. Due to the inductive nature of this study, we found a rather implicit but important role of vocational education and training in retail that promotes the social advancement of apprentices with diverse social backgrounds. The narratives of 45 interviews with various actors involved in workplace training in one of the largest Swiss retail company revealed (1) how low-threshold and equitable access to training enables participatory engagement and self-determined success, (2) how trainers identify with social roles that are not explicitly required but are relevant for apprentices, and (3) how apprentices are given many opportunities during and after training to increase their social status. The study also revealed hindering factors such as the time and effort for the implementation of a new learning culture that affects all actors involved in workplace training. Second, are resistant negative social reproduction cycles and the heterogeneity of social backgrounds among the apprentices. Bridging this gap is simultaneously a goal and challenge for workplace training.
“那些会飘到某个地方的人……”在零售业中以新的学习文化促进社会进步
这项研究的目的是探索新的学习文化如何满足零售业部门的许多新需求,以及如何为未来的工作培训学徒。由于这项研究的归纳性,我们发现职业教育和培训在零售业中发挥着相当隐含但重要的作用,促进了具有不同社会背景的学徒的社会进步。在瑞士最大的零售公司之一,对参与工作场所培训的各种参与者进行了45次采访,这些采访揭示了(1)低门槛和公平的培训机会如何使参与式参与和自主成功,(2)培训师如何认同没有明确要求但与学徒相关的社会角色,以及(3)学徒如何在培训期间和培训后获得许多机会,以提高其社会地位。该研究还揭示了阻碍因素,如实施新的学习文化的时间和精力,这种文化会影响到参与工作场所培训的所有参与者。第二,学徒之间存在抗拒性的负面社会再生产周期和社会背景的异质性。弥合这一差距同时也是工作场所培训的目标和挑战。
