Abstract	This article outlines a conceptual framework for mapping and understanding training trends. It uses the metonyms of floors and ceilings to distinguish between different types of training configurations. The argument is made that the ups and downs of employer reports of training activity are a crude basis on which to make judgements about the resilience or otherwise of training to the economic cycle. The article, therefore, suggests and demonstrates with qualitative evidence that using the metonyms of "floors and ceilings" provides a more nuanced understanding of the multiple pathways that lead employers to increase, decrease or maintain training activity during an economic recession. (As Provided).
