Skipping Class: New data from the U.K.-based National Institute of Adult
Continuing Education points out that 82 percent of people prefer to learn skills
while on the job, as opposed to more formalized, structured modes of
instruction. Being shown how to perform job tasks (62 percent) and observing
other (56 percent) also were rated highly. Notably, 54 percent say company-paid
training courses are of little value. More than one-third of employees (36
percent) believe it is their responsibility to get needed job training, with 39
percent say the responsibility should be shared with employers. Only one in five
employees expects their companies to shoulder the responsibility.
