Das Dissertationsprojekt von Laura Menze beschäftigt sich mit dem Arbeitsmarkteintritt von Absolventinnen und Absolventen der betrieblichen Ausbildung in Deutschland. Obwohl sie über formal gleichwertige Abschlüsse verfügen, unterscheiden sich die Arbeitsmarktchancen innerhalb der Gruppe der betrieblich Ausgebildeten deutlich. Das Projekt untersucht, wie strukturelle Merkmale des erlernten Ausbildungsberufs zu solchen ungleichen Arbeitsmarktchancen beitragen. Damit trägt das Dissertationsprojekt zur Forschung bei, die untersuchen, wie individuelle Erwerbsverläufe durch berufliche Merkmale strukturiert werden.
