The article has the objective of reconstructing the different conceptualizations about the knowledge of work in Argentina, in recent times. The methodological design adopted is of a qualitative-descriptive type that develops a bibliographic and documentary review, aimed at finding relationships and meanings between different conceptual and legislative contributions on the subject, from the 1990s to the present. The conclusions indicate that the idea of knowledge for work is not neutral, rather, it implies understanding it in connection with social, political and economic dimensions, within the framework of certain education models.

This article analyzes the link between education and work in Argentina's automotive industry. It studies the evolution of occupational dynamics, based on the characterization of educational profiles deployed in various labor segments from 2006 to 2019. The article sustains that professional training offers spaces for acquiring and/or updating knowledge in a diversified system, with representative actors involved in the institutional mechanisms of education and work. Based on documentary analysis and the processing of secondary statistical data from official sources, the conclusions support the pertinence of institutional participation and mechanisms for defining the link between education and work, in which the development of professional training is central.

Studies on the passage from educational institutions to work and adult life have gained momentum in the framework of the employment crisis. Since the 1980s, changes in the situations that affect the life trajectories of contemporary youth have been a topic of discussion. This article addresses such issues by analyzing the educational and work careers of a group of young urban Argentines. The study focuses on a particular moment of their trajectories: that of the transition from high school graduation to higher education and/or work. In this way we attempt to reach a substantive discussion on those discretionary and/or determining factors that can be identified in the configuration of these transitions as well as on the points of tension that were encountered. The research is based on a reconstruction of the experiences of a group of youth (Cohort-2003) from different public and private high schools in townships in the cities of Buenos Aires and La Plata, Argentina, and involves the description given by these young people and their perception of the various scenarios that comprise their traveled paths.
