Englische Kurzfassung:
This paper analyzes the impact of formal training on worker mobility. Using data from the
Swiss Labor Force Survey, we find that on-the-job search activities and, to a smaller extent,
actual job separations are significantly affected by both employer-provided and general
training. Moreover, while the separation probability of searching workers is strongly affected
by previous firm-provided training, no such effect shows up for non-searchers. This is
consistent with the hypothesis that workers bear most of the cost of specific training.
