ABSTRACT Existing evidence shows that the higher the level of education the higher the likelihood to participate in workplace training. However, we know little about training participation of individuals educated to the secondary level, and whether this may vary by the type of qualification attained, i.e. vocational or general. Vocational qualification holders are known to find employment sooner after school than those with a general qualification but we do not know whether they are also more likely to participate in workplace training. Using data from the 2012 Programme of International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) and logistic regressions, we investigate whether vocational qualification holders are more likely to participate in workplace training than general ones in Germany and England. Germany is a coordinated labour market economy with a large emphasis on the provision of vocational qualifications which facilitate school-to-work transitions whereas England is an example of liberal labour markets where the focus is on general qualifications. Results show that in Germany general qualification holders are more likely to participate in training compared to vocational ones; however, differences reduce when controlling for endogeneity. In contrast, in England there is no difference between types of qualification.

工作场所培训参与是否因中学学历类型而异？英格兰和德国的比较

摘要 现有证据表明，受教育程度越高，参加工作场所培训的可能性就越大。然而，我们对受过中等教育的个人的培训参与情况知之甚少，以及这是否会因获得的资格类型（即职业资格或普通资格）而异。众所周知，职业资格持有者在放学后比一般资格者更容易找到工作，但我们不知道他们是否也更有可能参加工作场所培训。使用来自 2012 年国际成人能力评估计划 (PIAAC) 的数据和逻辑回归，我们调查了职业资格持有者是否比德国和英国的一般持有者更有可能参加工作场所培训。德国是一个协调一致的劳动力市场经济体，非常重视职业资格证书的提供，以促进从学校到工作的过渡，而英国是自由劳动力市场的一个例子，其重点是一般资格证书。结果表明，在德国，普通资格持有者比职业资格持有者更有可能参加培训；然而，当控制内生性时，差异会减少。相比之下，在英格兰，资格类型之间没有区别。结果表明，在德国，普通资格持有者比职业资格持有者更有可能参加培训；然而，当控制内生性时，差异会减少。相比之下，在英格兰，资格类型之间没有区别。结果表明，在德国，普通资格持有者比职业资格持有者更有可能参加培训；然而，当控制内生性时，差异会减少。相比之下，在英格兰，资格类型之间没有区别。
