Vocational training has repercussions in many different spheres. Consequently, it can also be analysed from a variety of different angles. This work is a legal-labour view, the kind of approach that has become increasingly in vogue of late, as a result of (among other things) the generalised employment crisis and the very positive tendency of revaluing human rights, to which end vocational training is a factor. The juridical systems of 16 Latin American and Caribbean countries are herein compared to each other and to the contents of International Labour Convention 142 and Recommendation 150, that the author systematises in seven principles (adaptation to reality, integrality, anthropocentrism, instrumentality, gradual universalisation, equality and participation). The results of this analysis are uneven, and although there are great differences in the degree of development in different countries, it is reassuring to find that they all show some concern to deal with training and adequately promote it.
