This article is set to determine who should pay for the training of the labour force.

Should the individual, the employer, or perhaps the government, (through various schemes) fund the future training of employees in the United Kingdom?

Looking at who will be most benefited from this training and wages we may be able to conclude whether it is the employer, the employee or the government who will benefit most.

If we look at the concept of training then we see that it is an investment to train employees up so that they are able to produce more as they will have more knowledge and skills to do that job.

Different production is due to difference in training of otherwise homogenous workers.

Human capital emphasises the importance of education and training in employment.

This can be split into two types of training, this first being general training which would be useful within the firm but also outside of it too, this is training such as education received at schools, colleges and universities. The second type of training is Job specific training which would seem to be useful only within the firm that is doing the training as the skills may only be applied to that job, and no other.

Enterprisetraining is more closely tailored to the specific needs of enterprises than is

initial education. It is provided in response to immediate occupational skill shortages resulting from technological and organisational restructuring…

An important motivation for individuals to invest in training would be that the new skills raise productivity linking them to higher earnings potential.

ain alternative theories to the Human Capital model these are Screening and signalling, also the agency theory.

If we look at the screening and signalling theory then for example employers are looking for the better educated workers and are willing to pay a higher price for added skills.

In his signalling model Spence suggests that firms faced with hiring decision may pay more for better educated workers even if education has no effect on productivity. Could it be more value efficient for the firms to train the workers themselves?

Potential employees will acquire high levels of education to signal their ability to employers and at the same time these employers are using education as a screen, to increase the hiring of productive workers by only hiring potential employees that have high levels of education.

The agency theory suggests to us that the employer is seeking to benefit or punish the employee in accordance their performance possibly production wise.

This theory basically means that the training and education have less effect upon the wage determination than the human capital theory and the signalling and screening theory would suggest. This theory suggests that the more productive workers are, the more benefit (in wages) the firm is likely to give them and for those workers that do not produce as well, or slack the firm may punish by either making them unemployed or not giving bonuses.

It is focused upon giving the firm giving the employees incentives to perform better, whether this can apply to jobs that require a lot of training such as operating complicated programs on a computer, in this case without the training no matter how good the incentive is the job cannot be completed without the relevant training. In this case then employees may try to already achieve the skills required by the job.

The agency theory suggests that wages are paid below the Marginal Revenue product of labour, and the Performance related pay is introduced to the firm this is to ensure that W MRPL.
