<span class="h3">Section 7 - Highest level of training</span></p>
<p><span class="em">Questions 31(a) to 35 Applies to all persons Fifteen (15) years old and over</span></p>
<p>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 to fit them for employment, as opposed to those who have not received any training at all.</p>
<p>This information is used by the government and employers to evaluate whether there are enough people with adequate education, training and job skills in particular areas of the work force, with a view to developing training programmes to meet the changing needs of the work force.</p>
<p>Students in primary and secondary schools, youth development and apprenticeship centers, 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.</p>
<p><span class="pg">[p.53]</span></p>
<p>Note: "Training can be practical or theoretical under an instructor to acquire a skill or capability to perform a task to some specified standard."</p>
<p><span class="em">Question 35 - Qualification / certification obtained on completion of training</span></p>
<p>This question is only for those persons who have completed training i.e. for those ticking box 1 of question 31(b).</p>
<p>Ten (10) response positions are recorded. None, certification (with Examination), certification (without Examination), diploma, advanced diploma, associate degree, first degree, post graduate degree, other and not stated. You are required to tick only one box.</p>
<p>There are cases in which more than one qualification may be received as a result of preparing oneself in a specified field of training. Let the respondent decide upon the highest qualification received.
