This paper shows that young men who completed an apprenticeship education plus a tertiary vocational education have considerably higher earnings during the first half of their career than those who obtained an academic education in addition to their apprenticeship education. We match employees with a tertiary vocational and an academic education based on their labour market experience and their individual and employer characteristics during their formative apprenticeship training years in which they presumably decided on their further education track. Then we compare the earnings developments in both groups of the matched sample during their tertiary education phase and after its completion for maximally 16 years after apprenticeship completion. We use linked employer-employee data of the IAB (LIAB9310).

本文显示，完成学徒制教育和第三职业教育的年轻人在职业上半年的收入要比除了学徒制教育以外还接受过学术教育的年轻人更高。我们根据雇员的劳动力市场经验以及他们在形成性学徒培训期间的个人和雇主特征，为他们提供第三职业和大学教育，他们大概决定了他们的继续教育道路。然后，我们比较匹配样本的两组在其高等教育阶段以及完成学徒后最多16年的收入发展情况。我们使用IAB（LIAB9310）的链接的雇主-雇员数据。
