Determinants of Individual Success in On-The-Job Training

Abstract

This study of on-the-job training utilizes data on individual trainees. Dependent variables are: whether the trainee graduates or drops out, whether he stays with the sponsoring company or leaves after training, his productivity improvement, and his wage gains. With the exception of the trainee's personal characteristics, the explanatory variables have a similar influence on each of the dependent variables. In explaining variation in each of the success measures, the personal characteristics of the trainee are generally not important; his labor market characteristics are important only for wage changes; and the company and training program characteristics are extremely important.
