Abstract: The education sector is traditionally characterised by atypical employment. To some degree, these atypical forms of employment are also connected to precarious employment. The article presents results of an empirical study on the employment situation in the further education system and identifies those structures which cause the labour market to become further differentiated. The findings demonstrate that it is especially the underlying financing of further education and the particular type of employment relationship that strongly determine the pattern and risk of precarity. On the basis of this study, this article advocates against the employment situations of the trainers being stigmatised as individual failures, and instead argues that they should be seen as a structural result of inter- and intra-segmental polarisation forces.
