Abstract

Here we compare the training of cabinetmakers in vocational schools (full-time) and in the dual-system (part-time school and part-time workplace), in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, canton of Vaud. The teachings are analyzed and the notion of «professional order» that affects the school paradigm and gives structure to the boundaries of professional identity. The cabinetmaker profession tends to be confused with that of a carpenter, in a context where the operational skills take precedence over the school paradigm.
