Interviewer instructions
Questions 72 to 74 Applies to all persons Fifteen (15) Years Old and Over This section applies to all persons, fifteen years old and over. The main purpose is to distinguish between persons who have received, attempted or are now receiving special training in preparation for a specific type of job, as opposed to those who have not received any training at all. This information is used by the Employers and the Government to evaluate whether there are enough people with adequate education, training and job skills in particular areas of the work force. This is done with a view to developing training programmes to meet the changing needs of our work force. Students in Primary and Secondary Schools, Youth Development and Apprenticeship Centres, etc. pursuing specialized technical/craft courses as part of their general education should be probed to respond. You should probe especially for the Government Secondary Schools where it is now a regular part of the students' education to obtain training in some craft or trade such as masonry, carpentry, motor mechanics, welding etc.
Note: "Training can be practical or theoretical under an instructor to acquire a skill or capability to perform a task to some specified standard."
Shading in the appropriate pre-coded oval should indicate the main method or source from which the training has been completed or is being received and must relate to the field of training recorded in Question 72b. It is very important to determine the main method in order to facilitate office coding of Question 72b. For persons answering self study or self-taught "Private Study" Box 3 must be shaded, except in cases where they indicate that a correspondence course is being pursued. In such a case, shade oval 3 Correspondence course. Method by which Training was acquired The method by which training was acquired can be classified in the following groups:

3 Correspondence Course. CENSUS May 2001 Interviewer’s Manual Page 64 This refers to forms of training acquired either through the reading of books, such as, teach yourself manuals along with using traditional postal mail service to correspond with an institution which organizes training programmes around these manual/training materials.
