Abstract

This article studies the job training of automotive mechanics within the Escuela Práctica de Ingenieros Mecánicos y Electricistas (EPIME) from 1915 to 1924. It also shows the processes of their training, investigates their work trajectories and identifies the implications that made it difficult for them to find employment in Mexico City. Within a context mediated by the automotive expansion in the city, the narrowness of the labor market and the dynamics of preferential hiring and job promotions, the spaces where they worked, the activities they performed and the conditions in which they carried them out are shown
