Interviewer instructions
Section 3: Education and training
[Education questions for persons age 4 and older. Training questions for persons age 14 and older]
You will need to pay close attention to the instructions for this section, which combines questions on education and training. Questions 3.1 and 3.2 relate to education and should be asked of all persons age 4 and older. Questions 3.3 through 3.13 relate to training and are applicable to persons age 14 and older. Questions 3.3 through 3.7 relate to current training, while questions 3.8 through 3.13 relate to past training.
[Persons age 14 and older. These questions relate to training, intended specifically to fit an individual for a specific job or occupation. Training means that the person has acquired a skill or will acquire a skill which equips him/her for a particular job. Where an individual indicates that he/she has received training for more than one job, use the one that he/she regards as the main one (for whatever reason)]
[You will notice that some of the questions are repeated. Questions 3.3 through 3.7 are to be asked of persons who are currently being trained, while questions 3.8 through 3.13 relate to part training only. Follow the skip instructions carefully to allow you to ask the relevant questions]
5.69 Questions 3.5 and 3.10
These questions refer to the training program or institution through which the training is being received or was received.
HEART programs
Vocational Training Centre/Academy: Skills training offered at these institutions include food preparation, cabinet making skills, auto mechanics, garment construction skills, and commercial skills.
VTDI (Vocational Training Development Institute): This institution offers a three year diploma for vocational instructors.
Other H.E.A.R.T.: Include here training received through any other HEART training programs. Examples of these are Skills 2000, a community-based program for disadvantaged persons, and School Leavers Training Opportunities (SL-TOP), designed for the acquisition of skills by school leavers through on the job training.
Other programs
CAST/UTECH: College of Arts, Science and Technology now called the University of Technology.
West Indies College/N.C.U.: Mark this if training was received/is being received at West Indies College, now called Northern Caribbean University.
U.W.I.: This refers to training programs at the University of the West Indies, whether as a day or evening student.
Community college: Mark this for individuals whose response is community college. Examples are: Excelsior Community College (EXED), Montego Bay, Knox and Portmore.
Teachers colleges, CASE: Mark this if the individual has received or is receiving training at a teacher training college such as Mico, Shortwood, Church, Bethlehem, as well as College of Agriculture and Science Education.
Nursing schools: Mark this if training was/is in an institution that offers training in patient and personal assistance care. Examples are Jamaica School of Nursing and U.W.I. School of Nursing.
Police training school/Jamaica Police Academy: This applies to members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force who have been trained at the training school formerly located at Port Royal or the more recently established Academy at Twickenham Park.
Secretarial/commercial colleges: This applies to institutions that offer commercial and secretarial training only. Secondary level institutions offering subjects in addition to the regular curriculum should not be included.
Technical schools: Score this for training received at the technical high schools.
On-the-job training: This applies when the individual is receiving/has received "on-the-job" training only. On-the-job training must, however, be structured training and not just learning by experience. In such situations, the trainee is an employee.
Apprenticeship: Include here persons who learned their skill from a more experienced tradesman. In most instances, during the period of training the trainee is not regarded as employed and might be given very little to do.
Other: This covers all other types of methods of acquiring training, including training through correspondence courses or the internet. Include Jamaica Defence Soldiers in this category.
Not stated: Mark this in cases where the information is not given.
