Among Canadians who do not participate in formal work-related training, financial considerations are an important factor relevant to fostering higher levels of participation.
Older workers and those with less education are less likely to receive formal work-related training, but are almost as likely to participate in non-formal work-related learning. (See Figure 28, FIgure 29, FIgure 30 and Figure 32.)
