MILLENAAR, Verónica. ¿Capacitar para la competitividad o promover los derechos?: Retóricas de la formación profesional desde un análisis de género. Propuesta educativa (Online) [online]. 2014, n.41, pp.99-108. ISSN 1995-7785.

The article analyzes and contrasts the institutional discourses on gender issues that are shared in two vocational training (VT) centres that receive vulnerable young men and women. The institutional dimension becomes an important issue of analysis when studying the processes of occupational socialization of boys and girls from a gender perspective. At the same time, it also becomes important when heterogeneity is recognized, based on the diversity of approaches which guides the interventions in relation to youth labour insertion. As a result of both processes of educational fragmentation and social inequality, the vocational training system is a diverse and disparate set of centres and training programs based on different aims and approaches of joint action. The strategies and discourses around gender in the institutions differ according to the audiences they are targeting and their specific problems. Thus, based on the findings of a master thesis recently completed, the article analyses the various demands on the VT centres and their various ways of building institutional discourses to address them, particularly in relation to gender injustices.
