Abstract: Abstract In this paper we study the direct effects of vocational training upon earnings, and bring empirical evidence for the case of Romania. In order to determine whether vocational training generates an increase in earnings, a quantitative analysis is conducted and econometric tools are applied on both a treatment and a control group. Survey micro-datasets are used together with a probit model, a Kernel matching algorithm and an ordered logit. The main findings are consistent with the international literature in the field, arguing in favor of a positive return on training, as higher earnings are to be expected after attending training programs.
