Transmitting skills to the workplace works well with supervisory support, interactive training, coaching, opportunities to perform what was learned in training, and keeping the training relevant to jobs (Pellegrino and Hilton2012).
In this model, a population is assumed to comprise N individuals each of whom has some level of culturally transmitted skill denoted zi (where subscript i identifies each individual, with i = 1, 2.N).

Even though respondents do not directly report whether they are mentors or not, we can identify the workers who transmit their skills informally within the firm.1.1
