Foreign youngsters or young people who are perceived as being foreign are confronted with various disadvantages when undergoing traditional vocational education and training delivered by a single company. They find it more difficult to access a training place and are more likely to dissolve their training contract prematurely. Because of the specific organisational features they are able to display, consortia of companies providing training are able to facilitate integration into vocational education and training for this group of young persons in particular. This article presents the results of a study which investigates the areas of potential offered by consortia of companies providing training in Switzerland.
