Summary

This chapter uses Raffe's (2008) concept of educational and employment logics to analyze the development of vocational training (VT) in Argentina. It provides a historical overview and then focuses on a process of redefinition of VT in the 2000s, which was a response to the demands and interests of social and economic stakeholders in the sociopolitical context of the period. The chapter argues that what has emerged does not comprise a harmonious, integrated system, but a complex amalgam of public and private actions responding to different demands and segments of the labor market. A new “social logic” has emerged.
