Young people from a migrant background are less likely than others to progress to fully qualifying vocational education and training following completion of schooling. Company recruitment practices may be one of the reasons for it. This article makes reference to Imdorf’s convention-sociological model in investigating which selection criteria constitute the structure of company recruitment processes and how these affect the application success of young people from a migrant background. It shows that assessment of team adaptability plays a major role.
