Abstract
The question of military-provided training and its transferability to civilian employment has received much media attention lately. Using data from the National Longitudinal Surveys-Youth Cohort, this paper documents sizable amounts of skill transfer and compares the transferability of military-provided training to that of nonmilitary-provided postschool occupational training. When other factors are controlled, the probability of transferring military-provided training does not differ significantly from that of non-military training obtained from providers such as proprietary business colleges and vocational/technical schools. On the other hand, the probability of skill transfer for military-provided training is found to be significantly lower than that of apprenticeship and employer-provided training for both sexes, and of nursing and beauty-school training for females; however, these differences can be attributed to institutional linkages between training provider and employer along internal labor-market lines.
