Abstract
This article reports on research into the status of continuing higher education in a highly centralized country (France) and decentralized country (Switzerland). Relationships between universities and employment are examined and the distinctive features of the higher education culture in each country are analysed. The article concludes that, perhaps surprisingly, continuing higher education has developed in a fairly decentralized way in France and in a centralized fashion in Switzerland.
