Purpose
To produce information to assist in policy development on enterprise-based training and the evaluation of national training policies.

Description
The 1997 Training Practices Survey collected information from employers in Australia on the types of training provided to their employees. It also explored reasons why employers adopted certain practices and what influenced their decisions. The Training Practices Survey used the same sample of employers that had been selected for the Training Expenditure Survey, 1996. The sample consisted of approximately 6,000 employers and was stratified by sector, industry and employer size. Information was collected by mail questionnaire.

Data Detail
Many characteristics of employer training practices including:

  • Factors affecting level of training expenditure;
  • Methods used to determine structured training requirements;
  • Structured in-house training;
  • Methods of training delivery;
  • Limitations to providing training;
  • Importance of unstructured training to occupational groups;
  • Factors affecting the level of unstructured training; and
  • Organisational profile.

    In relation to transport, data are available for persons employed in the transport and storage industry.
