The section of adapted general and vocational education (SEGPA), in France, takes place before schooling and vocational training in high schools or apprentice training centres. It includes vocational training, workshops and internships, for 14 to 16 years old students. Although it is in secondary school and despite its representations, SEGPA is indeed vocational in the sense that it already subjects secondary school students to professional socialisation. It is the place to produce future students with « small » vocational qualification (CAP is level 1 in France) and with working dispositions referring to subordinate, implementation and polyvalent jobs. © 2020 Documentation Francaise.
