Business training; participation, costs and policy

This table provides information on, among other things, participation and expenditure in courses, the training policies of companies and the quality assurance of business training provided. The table also sets out the reasons why some companies did not offer company training. The data come from the Business Training Research and relate to the reporting years 2010 and 2015. The survey was conducted among companies with 10 and more private sector employees. The sectors Public administration, public administration and compulsory social insurance, Education and Health and Welfare were excluded. Nor are the companies in the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries sector involved in the investigation. The figures can be broken down by activity of the companies (SBI 2008) and by size class of the company. A number of characteristics of company training will no longer be requested from 2015. The question is whether the company has its own training centre, whether the training needs of individual employees are identified and the different ways in which the quality of company training is ensured. A number of features are not very similar between 2010 and 2015. These are the key future skills, the skills covered within current courses and the implementing agencies of external courses. This is because in these questionnaire items (where several answers are possible) it is no longer possible to indicate a most important choice from 2015. As a result, the total amount of the percentages is more than 100 percent in 2015. Data available from: 2010 to 2015 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final. Changes as of 8 December 2017: The figures of the sectors C Industrie, B-E Industry (no construction) and energy and B-F Industry and energy for the reporting year 2015 have been adjusted. Erroneously, these aggregates did not include the figures of the underlying industry 31-33 Other industry and repair. This has been corrected in this version. Changes by: 6 December 2017: Figures for 2015 have been added. The subjects spent for each male and female worker respectively have been removed from the table. The data was insufficiently reliable. When are new figures coming? The new figures for 2020 are expected in 2022.
