Publisher: Edward Elgar Pub
ISBN: 9781840642780
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
'. . . this is an interesting and valuable book. . . a genuinely useful contribution to the literature. . . It will help all those who are engaged in exploring the relationship between education and training on the one hand and obtaining and maintaining employment on the other hand.' - Stephen Drodge, International Journal of Educational Development Education and training are of critical importance to individual employment prospects. This book questions whether the policies that govern education, training and employment actually facilitate or inhibit social integration. the authors analyse initial entry into the labour market and subsequent movements between employers, and explore links between education, training and the labour market. the book argues that although education is a good predictor of labour market integration and employment potential, and despite political efforts, social background nevertheless remains influential. the importance of continued training to improve opportunities for promotion is also demonstrated.
