This paper presents preliminary data from a
national study carried out in 2011 by the Italian Ministry
of Labour- ISFOL through a structured questionnaire to
a probabilistic sample of 1500 "at-risk students" (who
have taken lsced-2 in 2005 with the lowest mark). Three
life itineraries have been focused: ESLs (early school
leavers) who are employed in low qualified, precarious
jobs or in a NEET (not in education, training or employment) condition; students who have achieved lsced-3
certificate in VET (vocational education and training)
courses or are going to achieve it; students who have achieved lsced-3 certificate in school education or are
going to achieve it. This paper describes some personal,
social and scholastic determinants of each profile. The
examination of ESL profile (n=576) leads to confirm the
usefulness of a vision of ESL as a personal agent, unless
avoiding to remark the weakness of social supports surrounding those subjects.
