The first dimension is the degree of firm involvement in the provision of initial vocational training. This dimension pertains to the willingness of firms to invest in skill formation, in particular initial vocational training. And the second dimension is to the degree of public commitment to vocational training. This dimension captures various aspects, such as state subsidies to vocational training and public policies which monitor skill formation by certification and standardization by formulating occupational training profiles.
