| Sumario: | Investments in education and training are widely expected to improve the U.S. position in the global market by improving worker productivity. The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth found that 38 percent of young adults received some form of training between 1986 and 1991. The types of training included company training programs, seminars, apprenticeships, business school, vocational and technical institutes, and correspondence courses. Men were more likely than women to receive company training, whereas women were more likely to seek outside training. Black and Hispanic employees were less likely than whites to receive company training or attend seminars but more likely to attend business or vocational school. The likelihood of receiving training increased with education and score on the Armed Forces Qualifying Test.
