Interviewer instructions
Information on the vocational training received/ being received by the household members within the age group 15 to 29 years will be recorded in this column in terms of the 5 codes.
Code 1 will be assigned for those who are currently receiving 'formal vocational training'. If a household member has received a formal vocational training, i.e., if he/she has successfully completed the training course, then code 2 will be applicable for that member. Code 3 will be applicable for those who have received 'hereditary' non-formal vocational trainings and code 4 for those who have received 'other' non-formal vocational trainings. Persons who have failed in formal vocational training after completion of the full duration of the course will be given code 4 provided they have acquired competency through this training to employ themselves as wage salary employee or self-employed. Concepts of 'formal' and 'non-formal' vocational trainings have been discussed in Chapter One. A person who has acquired degree in engineering, medicine, agriculture and business administration will not be considered as having vocational training. Graduates in vocational courses will come under the coverage of formal vocational training.
