This paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of levy-based financing schemes to secure enterprise investment in training. Many countries have introduced compulsory arrangements in an attempt to raise the level of training above that which can be provided by the free market. These schemes most often rely on training taxes such as revenue-generating levies, levy exemptions, levy grants, and training cost reimbursement. The basic principles of these are outlined, drawing on examples from a number of countries. The experiences of the French model are highlighted in more detail.
