Industry Training stocks and flows... and the effects of the economic downturn

Publication Details

This paper examines the new starts, terminations and other exits in industry training, looking at the relationship between industry training take-up and the business cycle. Because participants in industry training must have jobs to enter training, and because industry shares some of the cost of training, it is expected that flows of learners into, within, and out of industry training will match changes in the business cycle.
