The objective of this paper is to analyze the effect of human capital through educational level and vocational training, on the integration of young people into the Senegalese labor market. Data from the Senegal Poverty Monitoring Survey (ESPS II) conducted in 2011 were used. To this end, we use a Logit Multinomial model. The results show that in Senegal, human capital contributes positively to the employability of young people in the "highly skilled" and "low skilled" segments. By moving from no education to the general high education, the probability of belonging to the "low-skilled" segment increases by 33.82% (47.14% for those with  technical secondary education). While for the "highly skilled" segment, the probability of belonging to it increases by only 1.36% (46.32% for those in the higher technical). As for on-the-job training, it has a positive and significant impact on the integration of young people in the "low-skilled" and "unskilled" segments. In addition, young people are disadvantaged in all segments. In addition, young men have better access to employment than young women in the "highly skilled" and "unskilled" segments. Rural youth  represents almost the entire segment of the population ''unskilled''.
