Book excerpt: Excerpt from Differential Effects on Post-School Training on Early Career Training This paper focuses on the role of different types of training on the probability of leaving an employer. In Lynch (1992) the impact of private-sector training on the determinants of wages and wage growth of young workers was examined and the following conclusions were reached. First, formal company provided training, or on-jt, appears to be highly firm specific in the us. And, therefore, not portable from employer to employer. Company provided training raises wages in the current job but has no effect on the wagesearned in subsequent employment. Second, formal training received from 'for-profit' proprietary institutions, or off-it, has little effect on the wages earned on the current job but it does raise the expected wage in subsequent employment. Finally, there are important differences by race, gender and education level in the probability of receiving different types of formal training and the impact this training has on wages and wage growth. These findings have several implications for the impact of training on mobility. One implication is that if company provided training is primarily firm specific then the probability of leaving an employer should decline if a young worker has experienced some on-the-job training. An additional implication is that if workers participate in off-the-job training programs they are more likely to leave the current employer. In this case, off-the-job training allows a young worker to change career paths and find a 'better match'. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey Youth cohort, nlsy, this paper examines in detail the factors that influence the probability of new entrants leaving their first job including the differential effects of company provided training, apprenticeships and training from 'for profit' proprietary institutions.
