Training and Job Mobility Among Young Workers in the United States Journal of Population Economics 10,2 (June 1997): 219-233.

It is found that the receipt of company training is positively correlated with education, ability, and prior tenure at the job. The results provide only limited evidence that company training reduces turnover. There is substantial evidence, however, that training which is not financed by employers increases job mobility. The results imply that training plays an important role in the job search and job matching process among young workers. |
