Interviewer instructions
Section 5 - Vocational Training

5.41 General
Up to this point on the questionnaire the questions related to all individuals except for Question 18 which refers to foreign born only. This Section and the one following applies to persons 14 years and over. There are three questions in this Section, Questions 22 to 24 and these cover training intended specifically to fit the individual for a given type of occupation or vocation.



5.43 Question 23 - Method by which Vocational Training Acquired

[Image omitted here]

This question applies only when vocational training has been acquired. This is another two-part question and is the second of the four instances in which you are required to make two marks in the same row. The response area for the first part of the question is to the left of the bar or dividing line, and that for the second part to the right of the dividing line.



5.45 Question 23(b) - Status of Vocational Training

[Image omitted here]

[p.49]

Again, for this question you are concerned only with persons who have been or are being trained for some occupation. If therefore, the individual was not being trained for an occupation, then there will be no answer. If the person has been trained or is being trained then ask the question this way: "You mentioned that you were (he/she was) trained (is receiving training) in (vocation). Have you (has he/she) already completed this training?" If the answer is 'No', mark "Being Trained', and if 'Yes', mark "Training Completed".
