Enterprises are a key provider of education and training for adults across OECD countries. Yet, policy-makers lack a detailed understanding of how training in enterprises takes place. This report opens the black box of training and informal learning in enterprises by providing in-depth insights on: i) what training and learning opportunities enterprises provide; ii) why they provide training (or not); and iii) how they make decisions about training. It presents new evidence from 100 qualitative cases studies in five countries: Austria, Estonia, France, Ireland and Italy. The findings will assist governments and social partners in designing and implementing better policies in support of training in enterprises.
How do enterprises make decisions about training?
Enterprises invest in training because they believe that skilling their workforce helps them adapt to technological change, stay competitive, integrate new recruits and ensure health and safety of staff. To maximise these results, enterprises need to make the right decisions about training. This chapter presents existing and new evidence on how enterprises make decisions about training. It highlights where enterprises fall short of effective practices identified in the academic literature, thereby pointing to a need to build the capacity of enterprises and employees to make better training decisions.
