Event details
The research introduces a methodological and conceptual framework that allows us to explore young people's construction of identity over time as well as in the specific learning sites of apprenticeship - the workplace and the college.
The findings challenge one of the most common stereotypes of young people in British vocational education today - that they are naturally 'non-academic' or 'practical' learners - and raise important issues of social justice.
