This report focuses specifically on activities reported under work-related courses, another approach to examining participation. About 22 percent of adults reported participating in such courses. Survey respondents were asked if they had taken any courses related to a job or career, whether or not they had a job at the time they took the courses. Examples given were courses taken at the workplace, courses taken elsewhere that related to a job or career, or courses for a license or certification for a job. As noted above, adults were also asked about other types of adult education that are not included among these workrelated courses. Participation status was determined by whether or not an adult participated in one or more work-related courses in the 12 months prior to the interview.
