  Several studies of the Job Corps tend to nd more positive earnings effects
for males than for females. This effect heterogeneity favouring males contrasts
with the results of the majority of other training programmes' evaluations.
Applying the translated quantile approach of Bitler, Hoynes, and Domina (2014),
I investigate a potential mechanism behind the surprising findings for the Job
Corps. My results provide suggestive evidence that the effect of heterogeneity
by gender operates through existing gender earnings inequality rather than Job
Corps trainability differences.
