Risk of apprenticeship termination in vocational training

the role of gender expression in heterosexual apprentices' experience of heterosexist discrimination

Abstract

Analysis of quantitative and qualitative data collected from a large sample of students from the canton of Geneva in their first year of dual vocational training enabled us to demonstrate that heterosexual apprentices whose gender expression does not conform to gender norms are at greater risk of discontinuing their apprenticeship, but also that these students may be victims of heterosexist discrimination during their training because of their gender expression.
