Jenny Marcionetti
University of Lausanne, Switzerland

 

Jenny Marcionetti obtained her Master degree in Psychology at the Institute of Social and Political Sciences of the University of Lausanne in 2005. After three years of internship experiences in different fields of psychology and in research she became researcher at the “Ufficio studi e ricerche” (Studies and Researches’ Office) of the School Division of Canton Ticino (Switzerland) and then at the Center for Innovation and Research on Educational Systems of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI). From 2008 to 2012 she also worked as researcher in collaboration with the Swiss Federal Institute for Vocational Training (IUFFP, Lugano, Switzerland). The topic of transitions in education (in particular from lower to upper secondary education) has always been one of her top interests. Since October 2012, in parallel to her work at SUPSI, she has been PhD Student in Psychology at the University of Lausanne. Her PhD focuses on the factors influencing career indecision of 8th and 9th grade students of Canton Ticino, particularly considering the relationships between personality, career adaptabilities and career indecision.
