Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to estimate the reward to higher education, data drawn from the first three cycles of the older cohort of the Youth in Transition Survey (YITS) will be used. [...] The results also indicate that education is inversely related to the probability of being unemployed, and for females, of being inactive in the labour market (that is, not employed nor searching for a job). [...] Apart from a description of the samples, the section also includes a description of variable definitions and the distribution of educational attainment in Canada. [...] The higher attendance rate in Ontario, relative to Atlantic and Western Canada may partly be due to normal high school completion after grade 13 in Ontario compared to grade 12 in Atlantic and Western Canada.4 Considering post-secondary graduates, the entries in Table 1 (as well as throughout the paper) distinguish between high and low levels of PSE.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Skills and Training written by Chris Warhurst and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 769 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skills and workforce development are at the heart of much research on work, employment, and management. But are they so important? To what extent can they make a difference for individuals, organizations, and nations? How are the supply and, more importantly, the utilization of skill, currently evolving? What are the key factors shaping skills trajectories of the future? This Handbook provides an authoritative consideration of issues such as these. It does so by drawing on experts in a wide range of disciplines including sociology, economics, labour/industrial relations, human resource management, education, and geography. The Handbook is relevant for all with an interest in the changing nature - and future - of work, employment, and management. It draws on the latest scholarly insights to shed new light on all the major issues concerning skills and training today. While written primarily by leading scholars in the field, it is equally relevant to policy makers and practitioners responsible for shaping the development of human capability today and into the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private Higher Education and the Labor Market in China focuses on Chinese private higher education institutions and investigates their institutional management efforts in linking private higher education to the labor market. The dissertation firstly describes and analyzes how these mostly demand-absorbing institutions include elements aimed at meeting labor market demands in their mission statements, and how they improve student employability and bridge graduates and employers through job-oriented fields of study provision, educational delivery, career services, as well as networking and partnerships. It then examines graduate surveys on initial employment outcomes about employment status, starting salary, job and education match, and job satisfaction, while exploring the associations of these outcomes with managed institutional efforts. Finally, it builds a conceptual model with two dimensions that illustrates institutional variations in management efforts and initial graduate employment outcomes. This dissertation concludes that many of the demand-absorbing Chinese private higher education institutions have managed serious efforts in linking private higher education to the labor market and some of them are even semi-elite in their job-oriented institutional efforts and initial employment outcomes.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the expectations and labour force outcomes of a recent doctoral graduating class by drawing from two different data sources that surveyed the same individuals at two different points in time. The first is the Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED), which interviewed the doctoral graduates in 2005. The second source is the National Graduates Survey (NGS) which interviewed them again in 2007. The study provides a profile of doctoral holders two years after graduation by examining their demographics and program characteristics. It also analyzes their mobility patterns, with a particular focus on graduates who moved to the United States. Finally, it examines the graduates' labour market outcomes, including employment rates, income, industry, and the prevalence of over qualification as compared to the graduates' expectations.--Includes text from document.
