Abstract(s)

Dual Vocational Training aims to reduce youth unemployment, facilitate the transition between the education system and the labor market and promote the employability of young people. These objectives are structured around an alliance between institutions focused on combining the teaching-learning processes in educational centers and companies. Company tutors play an essential role in achieving the integral development of students who choose this training modality. The study aims to be acquainted with the development of Dual VT in companies and the level of satisfaction of tutors with the projects implemented. Based on the qualitative methodology, a study was designed by means of an in-depth interview administered to twelve tutors from companies of different sectors and sizes in Asturias. The results show the importance of student' adaptation to the company; it is necessary to establish links between centers and companies to achieve quality training and monitoring; and the tutors are satisfied with the results, with student learning and extent of insertion in the company. We conclude that an "ad hoc" training is necessary for company tutors based on the different productive sectors in order to promote coordination between educational center and companies and provide them with pedagogical strategies that allow them to adequately carry out their training tasks in the company in Dual FP.
