摘要

The transition to vocational education and training is an important biographical milestone and at the same time a central developmental task of adolescence that is not always successfully mastered. Young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and with low levels of education are more likely to take problematic transition paths—partly because they have less supportive capital from their families. This article examines the connection between the quality of relationships in the family and vocational goal orientation at the end of secondary level 1 as well as post-school transition paths in the pandemic. Cultural and economic capital are also taken into account on the basis of capital theory. The analyses are based on a quantitative longitudinal survey of young people in non-grammar school education in Germany during the pandemic. While social capital in the family has some strong supportive effects on vocational goal orientation, especially for realisability and self-efficacy expectations, there are no direct effects of social capital on the transition path during the pandemic. However, indirect effects can be assumed, as the vocational goal orientation at the end of school positively influences the transition pathways afterwards. The results emphasise the role of the family as social capital for the development of career prospects on the one hand and the importance of career goal orientation for safe and continuous transition paths during the pandemic on the other.
