WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING TO TRAINING? THE WORKERS’ PERSPECTIVEFRANCIS GREENLLAKES Centre, Institute of EducationESRC Festival of Science.Presentation at Cardiff University, 4/11/2013
The importance of job-related training • contribution to national skill-formation • remedial • necessary channel • magnitude and dynamics
Concepts • Volume/quantity • Quality • Demand • Adequacy/match
Data Source References. • Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS) • Skills and Employment Surveys (SES)
Training Participation in 2006 and 2012 Skills and Employment Survey 2012; reports at http://www.llakes.org
Proportion of Training Episodes that Are Less Than One Week in Wales, 1995-2013
Proportion of Training that is Off-The-Job in Wales, 1995-2012
Training Volume Per Employed Person in Wales, 1995-1998 & 2006-2010
Training Quality in Wales and the Rest of the UK, 2006 & 2012
Demand for Future Training in Wales and the Rest of the UK, 2006 & 2012
Adequacy No widespread or increasing perception of training inadequacy • Most (~9 in 10, and stable) who had received training said they received enough training to keep up with skills demand • Only a minority (1 in 5, and stable) who had not received training felt they should have had some to keep up
Discussion: four stories about falling training • Low-skills trajectory • Substitution by education • “Lean training” • Learning without training
Conclusions • ONS could spearhead better training volume statistics • Design and collect training quality indicators • Both research and interventions to focus on volume and quality, not just participation • Design and collect training mismatch indicators
