Abstract: The graduate labor market in the United Kingdom is characterized by a considerable amount and variety of training. This empirical paper concentrates on the role of training in the earnings growth of a new graduate. The principal findings are: (1) academic training is only a prerequisite for performance; (2) in order to boost earnings growth, the graduate may consider beginning his or her career as a trainee; (3) total time actually spent at work is conducive to earnings growth; (4) however, how time is allocated at work is usually not important for earnings growth; and (5) short training courses have little effect on earnings growth.
