The fact that an employer and employee incur a loss when a trained worker changes jobs provides an incentive for on-the-job training to be selectively provided to workers who are less likely to change jobs. Consequently, if there is belated information about employees' future mobility, it may be optimal to delay training, even if doing so means forgoing the returns to training during the early part of the employment relationship. The training literature, however, assumes that training is concentrated at the beginning of the employment relationship. The authors of this paper examine the relationship between tenure and the probability of ever having received training using data from the Current Population Survey and the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth. Their findings indicate that delayed formal training is the norm rather than the exception.

Abstract This article argues that the existence of adverse selection (worker heterogeneity) can explain the underprovision of general training by employers. High-ability workers value the option to entertain outside wage offers once their abilty becomes known to the market. Offering short-term contracts is, therefore, a way to screen high-ability types from low-ability types. A firm is not willing to train workers under short-term contracts. Hence, despite the positive returns to training, training may be underprovided in equilibrium. More generally, this article contributes to the literature that seeks to explain the puzzling phenomenon of short-term contracts governing long-term buyer-seller relationships.

”Työuran aikana hankittu ammatillinen aikuiskoulutus on vaikuttanut eniten työpaikan sisäiseen liikkuvuuteen, jonka kanssa myös aikuiskoulutuksen palkkavaikutus vahvasti korreloi. Mutta ammatillisten siirtymien tukena, kuten työpaikan tai ammatin vaihdossa, aikuiskoulutuksen rooli on pysynyt vaatimattomana”, kirjoittaa Erkki Laukkanen, joka väitteli vuonna 2010 koulutuksen ja työkokemuksen vaikutuksesta tulokehitykseen. Työsuhdeturva ja urakehitys ovat palkansaajille palkkaa tärkeämpiä arvoja. – Erkki Laukkasen väitöskirja Wage returns to training : evidence from Finland (Åbo Akademi 2010).
