Résumé (anglais)

This study investigates the impact of workers’ participation in voluntary training, delivered in the form of credited education, on wages. Using time-series cross-sectional within firm data, the sample comprises 1923 workers the first year, thus providing us with 5385 employee-year observations for the three-year period under investigation. These workers were selected through a random probabilistic sampling procedure from a financial institution’s computerized personnel files. As anticipated by our general hypothesis, results confirm that the wages of workers who participate in voluntary training are lower than those of workers who never participate and this negative gap slightly increases over the period of time under investigation, even after controlling for demographic characteristics and productivity-related variables.
