In-company vocational education and training activities are not an end in themselves. In fact, they should bring about concrete benefits for the company. Vocational training can therefore be seen as an investment which has to yield a worthwhile return on costs in the long term.

It found that companies which directly provide in-company vocational training reap benefits on a substantial scale.
