Résumé anglais Philippe Fritsch : Adult-training staff and adult-training. Analysis of the sociological relations existing between the adult training staff and the institutes which they work. In spite of the opinion generally admitted that these institutions respond to a social demand which expresses a new need, it seems that the demand comes rather from the staff itself, which is starting to develop professionalization and reflects the current values of fraction of the directing staff. The examination of this group reveals the leveling and integrating role played by the training of adults and also points out the attitudes and behavior on the part of the staff which are tied to their ambivalent relationship with school and industry. Their social origin is almost the same as those of executive, but with notable differences: they are marginal in respect to their original milieu, they have often been in a marginal position as far as education is concerned, before being in a marginal profession. Products of a social system (more particularly of an educational system which maintains social inequalities), they serve this system by the « ability » to vulgarize the language of innovation, of rationality, of mobility and participation.
