Description:

The Adult Training Survey (1986) measured the number of persons who took training and educational courses in 1984 and 1985 in order to improve career opportunities, maintain or learn new job skills or for personal interest, in order to determine the accessibility of such education and training as it relates to:

a) the type of program and course offered and who organized it;

b) sponsorship of programs through the employer or a Government manpower program;

c) the cost and who paid.

Description:

The 1998 Adult Education and Training Survey is the sixth in a series of similar surveys designed to measure adult (17 and older) participation in education and training. Statistics Canada conducted the Adult Education Survey (AES) in 1984 on behalf of the Department of the Secretary of State and the Adult Training Survey (ATS) in 1986, on behalf of Employment and Immigration Canada. In the late 1980s, as the number of adult Canadians pursuing education and training programs increased, there was a renewed interest in education and retraining as economic development issues. These concerns resulted in Employment and Immigration Canada commissioning Statistics Canada to conduct the Adult Education and Training Survey (AETS) in November 1990, and again in 1992.

The main objective of all four surveys was to measure participation rates. In general, each successive questionnaire evolved into a more detailed and comprehensive survey instrument, with greater emphasis on profiling the role of the employer and identifying barriers to training. In 1994, the AETS was modified to explore areas such as access to training.

The 1998 Adult Education and Training Survey is comparable to the 1994 survey. A few new questions on motivations and expectations have been added. And, for the first time, the survey is being conducted using computer-assited interviewing.

Description: Using the Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) integrated with the Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS) and the T1 Family File (T1FF), this study explores the Canadian postsecondary educational attainment and employment income of immigrants from the “economic immigrant” programs who were granted permanent residency based on their ability to contribute to the Canadian economy.
