1	THE DETERMINANTS OF ADULT PARTICIPATION IN JOB-RELATED EDUCATION/TRAINING IN CANADA: WHO GETS ACCESS? Cai, Weiguo(William) 16 December 2011 (has links) In this thesis, we explore determinants of Canadian workers’ job-related education and training take-ups by using the 2008 Access and Support to Education and Training Survey (ASETS). We implement three models, OLS, probit and logit. Regression results show that the three models produce similar and generally consistent estimates. We find systematic patterns across demographic groups in relation to job-related education and training. Most of our findings, such as the e?ect of age and education, are consistent with previous research. We also find two new influential factors, namely, individuals’ computer ability and their information search behavior, which are critical in determining job-related education and training take-ups. This new finding not only further completes the image of job-related education or training take-ups, but also suggests that government, educational institutions and employers invest more resources into internet to e?ectively promote job-related education and training.

2	The development of job-related education and training in Soweto, 1940-1990 Kelm, Erwin 11 1900 (has links) The dissertation analyses job-related education, training and development in Soweto since 1940. The effect which the interference of the National Party government had on jobrelated education for black South Africans in Soweto is examined, as it is of importance to know that qualifiers were only permitted to operate as trades people in the bantustans and not in the "white" cities. It is discussed that prior to the assassination of prime minister Dr H F Verwoerd in 1966, the NP government had little interest in promoting urban black upliftment. Also mentioned is the economic situation at that time, which forced the N P government to introduce the Manpower Training Act, permitting Africans to qualify in trades which were until 1981 reserved for whites only. At the eentre of the discussion are the few Sowetan colleges which deal with job-related education. training and development in the African township. Despite the demand for skills training of black South Africans, training deteriorated and the dissertation investigates the reasons surrounding the loss of interest in the communities and why interest groups were no longer concerned about this type of training. The dissertation concludes with a possible future perspective which needs to be implemented to enable job-related education, training and development in Soweto to expand. The need to train Sowetans in their own colleges as opposed to colleges outside Soweto is examined. / History / M.A. (History) National Party government Orlando Vocational Training Centre Dube Vocational Training Centre Johannesburg Vocational Training Centre George Tabor Technical College Johannesburg City Council Department of Education and Training Juvenile crime Malapo Technical College Manu Technical College Soweto Dedicated African female lecturers Manpower Training Act of 1981 Unrests The new South Africa Dobsonville College Local Sowetan colleges National Business Initiative Artisans 370.1130968221
