This table estimates Eq. (1) and presents the effect of the levy scheme on the probability of leaving the training facility (parameter \(\beta\)). Estimates are performed by the Cox hazard model and by logit regressions. Throughout Models 1–3, we smoothly add covariates summarized in Table 1. In Model 4, we exclusively consider facility stayers and facility leavers who stick to the profession of geriatric nursing. Thus, we exclude graduates whose first new workplace after graduation does not belong to the profession of geriatric nursing. In Model 5, we only include graduates who stay at the training facility and graduates who both leave the training facility and the profession. Thus, in this model, we model the probability of leaving the profession after graduation of apprenticeship training
