Training Opportunities: Exploring what happens two months later

Education history

The education history of the learner prior to first entry into Training Opportunities was the fifth largest predictor in the model. The odds of a positive outcome increase with the level of prior education. Unemployment or out of the labour force status (an other outcome) is the most likely outcome for learners who had no or low qualifications on entering Training Opportunities.

Curiously, those with the highest level of education pre-entry into Training Opportunities have the highest odds of returning to the programme over an other outcome than any other group, while learners with no qualifications pre-entry are less likely to attain any other outcome than other.

Note: points above 1 indicate more likely to occur than an other outcome, while points below 1 indicate the outcome is less likely to occur than an other outcome.
