Abstract: | Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth from 1987 to 1992, the determinants of training and the impact of
training on job turnover are examined for young private sector workers in the United States. It is found that the receipt
of company training is positively correlated with education, ability, and prior tenure at the job. The results provide only
limited evidence that company training reduces turnover. There is substantial evidence, however, that training which is not
financed by employers increases job mobility. The results imply that training plays an important role in the job search and
job matching process among young workers.
