Students in vocational training often alternate periods at the university with probationary periods in the workplace. Trainers offer students on probation tools for collaborative work like electronic forums. This text proposes a study conducted in a psychoanalytically oriented clinical approach. The electronic forum is considered as a virtual space where the students can reconstitute their group which is scattered during the probationary period. It looks like a group envelope that allows the development of thought. Students in professional training feel a sense of permanence. At the end, the author questions the researcher’s counter-transference.
