Release date: 2023-10-12 - Articles and reports: 14-28-0001202300100010Description: In the publication Quality of Employment in Canada, the Training participation indicator is the number of workers aged 25 to 64 who received job-related nonformal education and training in the last 12 months, expressed as a percentage of all workers in that age group.Release date: 2023-06-13

Experiencing a permanent layoff—a job loss without returning to the same employer during the same or subsequent year—can have significant and long-lasting impacts. One strategy to cope with job loss is to retrain. However, until recently, data limitations have prevented researchers from observing the detailed training activities of Canadians who have been permanently laid off. This study aims to address this gap by documenting the detailed postsecondary training decisions made by affected workers following job displacement.
Release date: 2022-09-28 - Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202200600003Description:
Every year, thousands of Canadian workers lose their job. The opportunities for coping with job loss through postsecondary education (PSE) transitions might be unequally distributed across Canadian families, perhaps even more so than across Canadian workers. Using data from Statistics Canada’s Longitudinal Worker File (LWF), the T1 Family File (T1FF), the Post-Secondary Information System (PSIS), and the 2006 Census of Population, this study quantifies the degree to which the likelihood of entering PSE or a new field of study after job loss varies, all else equal, across types of family units and, among dual-earner couples, with the earnings or the risk of job loss of the spouse.
Release date: 2022-06-22 - Articles and reports: 75-006-X201900100013Description:
Among people who leave high school prior to completion, many return to formal schooling as adults. High school equivalency programs (such as a General Educational Development or Adult Basic Education program) give them the opportunity to go back and complete high school requirements. Using data from the 2017 Aboriginal Peoples Survey, this study examines the factors associated with upgrading and high school equivalency among the Aboriginal population living off reserve. It also examines whether high school equivalency or upgrading is associated with better educational and labour market outcomes.

Literacy for Life, is the second report from the Adult Literacy and Life Skills Survey. It presents additional results on the nature and magnitude of the literacy gaps faced by OECD countries and how these gaps have evolved over the medium term.
It offers new insights into the factors that influence the formation of adult skills in various settings - at home and at work - for the eleven countries participating in the first and last round of data collection between 2003 and 2008. The study offers comparative evidence on the impact of various factors on the supply of skill. The study offers a special focus on numeracy skills and problem solving skills. It explores the relationships between numeracy and key socio-demographic factors as well as labour market outcomes and earnings.
It highlights the importance of problem solving skills by defining this foundational skill and by exploring its determinants as well as its relative role in influencing important labour market outcomes.
The report offers also an analysis of performance across multiple skill domains. It investigates the skill profiles of various population groups defined in terms of the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of those who score at levels deemed to be low in one or more skill domains and explores the resulting consequences.
The report concludes by investigating the issue of skill mismatch in the labour market and its relationship to adult learning. The extent and distribution of mismatch between the day to day literacy related requirements of workers and the literacy skills they have obtained is an important issue that is being explored in this study.
Release date: 2011-12-20 - 8. Access and Support to Education and Training Survey (ASETS), 2008 Public Use Microdata File (PUMF)Public use microdata: 81M0019XDescription:
The Access and Support to Education and Training Survey (ASETS) addresses issues relating to antecedents and determinants to access to Post Secondary Education (PSE).

The information was used for the analysis of the labour force supply, studies of the education system and the participation of special groups such as foreign students, language groups and women.
- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 3879Description: The Adult Education and Training Survey (AETS) is Canada's most comprehensive source of data on individual participation in formal adult education and training.
