    Titel: Career consequences of training in frontier firms

    Abstract: We study the long-term effects of initial vocational training at a highly productive firm. Our data combines detailed employment biographies of around 100,000 apprentices with firm-level survey data in Germany. We investigate the effect of explicit measures of productivity rather than firm quality proxies such as firm size. We estimate marginal treatment effects that account for selection into training through observables and unobservables characteristics. We instrument an apprentice’s likelihood of getting into a frontier firm based on the predicted average productivity of the training firm of competitive peers, leveraging variations in the local labour market training demand that is exogenous to an apprentice’s training decision. Our findings show that firm productivity significantly contributes to post-apprenticeship wages and that positive returns vastly exceed those from training at a large firm. We show how our main effects depend upon latent ability, firm’s retention behaviour and standardization of training occupation. Our results have implications on the design of policies to increase apprenticeship training.
