Filling training places presents challenges for many companies. This problem area is further exacerbated when applicants or even prospective trainees withdraw from the process. A survey of 377 companies providing training using the Reference Company System (RBS) investigates how frequently and when such withdrawals occur and looks at the reasons which companies suspect may be behind this. Reflection against the motives of young people shows that the assumptions of the company are not incorrect, but that they underestimate a relevant aspect of the recruitment process.
