In the Swiss apprenticeship system, the recruitment of apprentices is hardly regulated by the state and is largely left to the training companies. Based on the views of on-thejob trainers, this paper aims to gain a better understanding of the process of recruiting apprentices and the selection criteria used. These are presented in order of importance. Motivation, academic results, and soft skills are given a place of choice. However, a less frequent criterion is highlighted, namely, autochthony capital. These results make it possible to highlight the variety and also the variability of the selection criteria, and to discuss the risks of discrimination attached to each of them. © 2022 Documentation Francaise.
