Description This lecture concentrates on the complex transition process from upper secondary vocational/professional school to work. It focuses on young adults who fail their final exams and, therefore, repeat them, finding themselves in difficult situations. In Czechia, such a person appears under threat of finally not passing this final exam, which means ending up with only a basic education level. It would limit their opportunities in the labour market. During the research, the researchers followed the respondents through the two years after the failure, interviewed them up to four times, and investigated their life pathways. Respondents' narratives reveal, among other things, the limited correspondence between key actors defining the broader framework of the transition.
