The effect of occupational training in proprietary schools on job status and earnings of male workers is examined. Similar patterns in earnings between proprietary training and formal schooling appear. Proprietary training costs compare to those of colleges and universities, but the social rate of return is higher because of a lack of public subsidies. This type of occupational training differs among workers and job markets. The earnings of older black men, in comparison to those of their white counterparts, increase more with proprietary training and job tenure. Those who use their training at work also obtained higher returns than those whose training was less job specific. |
