In the context of dual initial vocational education and training (WET), a study in French-speaking Switzerland looked at apprentices 'perceptions of the quality of such training. Some ofthe perceived quality characteristics of WET are related to the various roles that apprentices assume at school and in the training company and the consequences that these roles may have on their apprenticeship experience. On the basis of dual apprentices' responses (N=336), an exploratory factor analysis has identified four dimensions referring to role tensions; path analyses showed that the perception of role tensions was negatively related to self-efficacy, commitment and satisfaction. These results illustrate that different role stress can be associated with the WET apprentices 'experience, and that this stress has negative effects on the apprentices 'well-being. The discussion part proposes to clarify the latter's roles. © 2021 Institut National d'Etude du Travail et d'Orientation Professionnelle. All rights reserved.
