In this paper we use British data from the European Community Household \nPanel to ask whether local density affects employer�provided training. We find that training is \nless frequent in economically denser areas. We explain this result as the outcome of the \ninteraction between the positive pooling effects and negative poaching and turnover effects \nof agglomeration. The size of the negative effect of density is not negligible: when evaluated \nat the average firm size in the local area, a 10 percent increase in density reduces the \nprobability of employer�provided training by 0.07, more than 20 percent of the average \nincidence of training in the UK during the sample period.
