From the Human Capital to Capability perspective: an analysis of individual pathways within the French process of Accreditation of prior experience. ; Du Capital Humain aux Capabilités : une analyse des parcours de Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience
This thesis analyses the individual pathways within the process of accreditation of prior experience (VAE), fighting inequalities of qualification access. This new right makes people responsible to put work experience to advantage, through getting qualification on the basis of work and individual experience, without education. But, to open up a new legal way doesn't make this right a reality. The aim is to observe phenomena of differentiations relative to the display of the VAE. We have enrich ressourcist and utilitarist hypothesis, which have been derived from labour market theories (Human Capital and Signalling Theories). We ask the question of the real display of the individual right of VAE and the notion of experience. Consequently, from the Capability perspective, we built an original framework to understand in what extent individual pathways depend on personal, environmental and social factors, not only experience which is expressed in number of years, as a rule in the Human Capital and Signalling Theories. These environmental, social and individual conversion factors establish the display of individual resources and rights within the VAE process. This set forms an individual structure of constraints and opportunities and determines the individual pathways. The Experience is multidimensional and diffused through these elements. This model, based on a national survey, highlights existence of different types of individual logics of choices, which means different real possibilities of actions, more or less constricted, and underlines overestimated, underestimated and invisible inequalities. ; Cette thèse analyse les parcours individuels de Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience (VAE), dirigés vers une certification de niveau V. Visant à lutter contre les inégalités d'accès à la certification, nous supposons que la création d'un tel droit individuel, confortant la responsabilité de l'individu quant à la valorisation de son expérience, ne fait pas de ce droit une réalité pour tous. L'objectif est d'observer les ...
