 Employer learningThe term “employer learning” is typically associated with a class of empirically testable models in which employers learn the productivity of workers over time. In these models, employers are assumed to use schooling attainment and other readily observed signals to predict productivity and set wages at the start of the career; as workers’ careers evolve, true productivity is revealed and the role of schooling in the wage setting process declines.

| Source: | Employer learning and the "importance" of skills (2011) |
| Description: | In the current study, we ask whether the role of employer learning in the wage setting process depends on the type of skill potentially being learned over time as well as the skill’s importance, by which we mean its occupation-specific contribution to productivity. p. 1 (Introduction) |
Employer-funded trainingInstitutional or work-based training that is delivered by external or in-house training personnel and paid for by the employer. May also be referred to as employer-sponsored training. Source: NCVER 2013, Australia

| Source: | Glossary of VET (2013 - online version continuously updated, Accessed in Jan. 2016) |
| Description: | The language of vocational education and training (VET) is complex and particularly prone to jargon and acronyms. The aim of this glossary is to provide a single up-to-date reference source for definitions of Australian VET-related terms, acronyms and organisations.
The glossary is based on 'A glossary of Australian vocational education and training terms' which was published by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) in 2000. New content, sourced from recent NCVER publications, the VOCED database, websites of key Australian VET organisations, other VET glossaries and suggestions from NCVER staff, has been added. Website |
