Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between the training policy of the firm and the nature of the work system adopted at the establishment level. The literature has shown that high-involvement work systems are associated with more inclusive and more effective training. Based on a representative sample of establishments in EU countries, this paper shows that when work systems are more participative training programmes display a higher probability of focusing on future rather than current skill requirements. In addition, the work system adopted significantly moderates the prob-ability of accessing specific types of training by younger educated employees.
