Document Summary
Alternative systems of education and training (soskice in lisa lynch, ed. , training and the private sector, 1994: we have been discussing education and training. Training, in the form of vocational education, can take place at schools. But much of it takes place in workplaces. Apprenticeships often combine both schooling and training at the workplace. As we saw in the previous lecture, the canadian apprenticeship has attracted considerable policy interest over recent years: workplace training often takes place independent of, or after, apprenticeships. General skills are portable - much of what plumbers, engineers, and human resource managers do. These then are the sorts of skills that free-riding employers are likely to poach. Specific skills are tied to a particular job or employer. As well as having general skills plumbers and engineers may know about the particular equipment used in a particular workplace.
