Ciprisová, L. Effect of retraining courses on the employability of job seekers. Diploma thesis. Brno, 2015. This thesis examines whether the passing retraining course has a positive, negative, or neutral effect on the likelihood of finding a new job. I have obtained individual-level data on job seekers registered at the Job Centre in Brno. My approach is based primarily on comparisons of groups of job seekers. The first group (basic group) consists of graduates of the retraining course; the second group (control group) is represented by job seekers who did not pass the course. The data used in this thesis carry information about 486 graduates of the re-training courses and about 245 persons who have not passed the retraining course. After the exclusion of some persons whose profile was not suitable for research, the basic group included 482 people; in two control groups are includ-ed 28 and 47 job seekers. The control group "Z" consists of individuals who would like to pass a retraining course, but their request was rejected by an expert commission. The second control group consists of individuals who refused to attend a retraining course recommended by the Job Centre. Job seekers of these two groups represent extremes of a motivation to find a new job. A comparison of an employment rate and the average length of registration at the Job Centre suggest that a retraining course attendance has a positive effect on the likelihood of finding a new job. These results, however, are significantly influenced by selection of the control group.
