Employer Training Survey 2021: Introduction
Description
This brief summarizes findings from ETH Zürich’s August 2021 analysis of the ETS dataset as they relate to apprenticeship programs, youth-focused programs, and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on employer-provided training. Although the survey is not nationally representative, analyses of the survey data draw out important differences in the credentials, quality control measures, and employer motivations associated with different training models. Analytical findings also highlight varying levels of program disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic across different models, and point to topics in employer-provided training where further research is needed.
