This article investigates the extent to which differences in characteristics between dual training occupations contribute to recruitment problems in training place provision. An analysis is carried out of the effects of differences in payment, prior level of school learning and gender distribution. Reference is made to bridging hypotheses relating to career choice behaviour, according to which young people primarily perceive the learning of an occupation as a means of consolidating their social and gender identity.
