16 Capacitación en el puesto de trabajo en LAC: últimos avances Vocational education and training in Latin America: what do we know? Some evidence for the formal sector in Bahamas, Colombia, Honduras, Panama and Uruguay: Limited on-the-job training (30%-50%; less in SMEs), too job-specific Training benefits mostly high-skilled workers Limited use of available public financing (especially SMEs) Positive impact on productivity among big firms (+1 p.p. workers under training raises productivity by almost 1%). No impact on SMEs Source: Flores, R., C. González-Velosa and D.

How to involve the private sector? How to finance these policies (labour taxes vs. other)? Evaluation Duration, contents Wages and employment + competitiveness and productivity
