Skill acquisition for jobs in the U.S. is somewhat haphazard and highly voluntary. During l980, about 25 percent of high school seniors were enrolled in vocational educational curriculum. An unknown number received training in unregistered programs and a host of other special training programs financed by employers. The military were also involved in training. In addition, about 7 percent of youth were enrolled in federal government sponsored employment and training programs. Apprenticeship is a relatively small component of the total training received by American youth, accounting for only 5 percent. It is only utilized for highly skilled positions. This study demonstrates the interdependence among a variety of training methods. The estimates reflect the benefits to multiple methods of training.
