This study takes a look at the changes in the extent, pattern and outcomes of participation in firm-based education and training of young Australians during the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s. During this time, there were substantial policy initiatives to lift the quality and quantity of training of Australian workers. The report's findings include: participation of young women has increased; the extent of formal firm-based education and training is substantial but uneven; the education and work profiles of young workers have changed; participation in firm-based education and training has also changed; and participants in training, in particular, in-plant training, have received higher hourly wages. Research report no. 23 This report, published by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER), is part of the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) research program.
