Wpływ kształcenia pozaformalnego na płace osób z wykształceniem wyższym
The impact of non-formal education on the wages of people with higher education

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper was to identify the wage premium from participation in the vocational training of employees with tertiary education. Individual data from the Polish Labour Force Survey were used for the period of 2001–2013. In order to reduce the bias of the wage premium estimator, two methods were used for comparative purposes: DID and DID-PSM. It was found that training, on average, has no impact on the earnings of individuals with tertiary education. However, a modest positive wage premium was obtained by the participants of extended training (over 20 hours) and workshops. In fact, these are the types of training that are expected to improve skills to the largest extent.
