In recent years, workplace-based industry training has been growing at a faster rate than other forms of tertiary education and training. Government and industry have substantially increased their investments in industry training. However, there is not much information available on whether training improves participants’ skills, productivity, and labour market outcomes. In this paper, we examine the labour market outcomes of employees who left industry training during 2003–05. We use a new dataset constructed for the Employment Outcomes of Tertiary Education Feasibility Study Statistics NZ, 2009 that assessed whether tertiary education and training data could be linked to Statistics New Zealand’s Linked-Employer Employee Dataset (LEED).
