Using the notions of identity defined by Paul Ricoeur, “sameness” and “ipseity” (respectively the presence or absence of immutable core of the personality), this article suggests two forms of narrative construction and biographical faced with the injunction to define a project. Both forms are associated with two kinds of answer to this injunction, which explain the gap between institutional expectations and those of young people who receive vocational training.
