  1. Notes: Coefficients of linear probability models are displayed. The sample is restricted to first-generation immigrants aged 25 to 55. The outcome variable is “participation in on-the-job training”. Reported standard errors in parentheses are robust and clustered by individual. * (**/***) denotes statistical significance at the 10 % (5 %/1 %) level. Since the variable “language proficiency” is not available in all years, we include a dummy variable for good language proficiency only in specification (6). Years since migration is multiplied by ten
