Objective
This survey and analysis project aims to measure, in economic terms, the return on investment from training in the road transport sector in six European countries. It will also indicate the applicability of the methodology used to other sectors of the European economy.
The methodological framework to measure the economic benefits of training has two primary research and analysis phases: cross-section company analysis and in-depth employee analysis. A final phase will be used to aggregate data to the sectoral level and to draw conclusions regarding the applicability of the methodology to other sectors. These phases will build on an econometric model which will try to establish, by statistical methods, the relations between training efforts and company performance. Dissemination will be via partner networks, publishing summaries in the general media and writing articles for economic and specific journals. The main target group for the project results will be road transport SMEs.
Impact
The benefit will be the quantification in real terms of the positive economic benefits derived in national economies from investment in sectoral training.
