Personally, I don't think it is a bad thing to be in charge of your own training. I just think Gen Y'ers who are looking for employers help to get them progressed in their careers are not going to get it under this new dynamic. @William – Not saying it is bad or good.

I'd have to think about it... but it seems more of "with rights also comes responsibilities..." Actually that's good for all generations...

You make a GREAT point! So GREAT, that I included this blog in our weekly Rainmaker Fab Five blog picks list. Traditional training dollars do not yield much ROI as it stands. Your points show the even deeper problem... People hanging around long enough to see the ROI. Keep Rockin'! Chris Lance!

My experience is that many companies have had a commitment clause for training. That in exchange for training you committed to a work period of x years. Your cost of training would be pro-rated among those years and required to be repaid, if you did not fulfill your commitment. Perhaps this model will expand and carry out of the IT industry.

I think it makes sense for companies to react in this way, though. Change begets change, and job hopping Gen Y employees can't have their cake AND eat it too. Hopefully freeing up resources from costly training programs will enable companies to stay afloat during these worrisome economic times! Wow, this is a really interesting point I’ve not read before.
