Minimum and Preferred Entry Qualifications and Training Provision for British Workers.

Miller, Linda; Acutt, Bruce; Kellie, Deborah

International Journal of Training and Development, v6 n3 p163-82 Sep 2002

Most do not value National Vocational Qualifications and favor academic qualifications for higher-status occupations. Those who specified minimum qualifications were more likely to train employees.
