There are articles on both apprenticeship training and adult education in the latest issue of Statistics Canada's Education Matters: Insights on Education, Learning and Training in Canada.
The apprenticeship article, Trends in the Trades: Registered Apprenticeship Total Registrations, Completions and Certification, 1991 to 2007, reviews trends in apprenticeship training between 1991 and 2007 by major trade group, sex and age. As the chart below indicates, the share of apprenticeship certificates earned by Canadians over the age of 40 increased between 1992 and 2007.
Trends in adult education are highlighted in Changes in Participation in Adult Education and Training, 2002 and 2008. This article notes that participation in job-related education or training amongst working-age adult Canadians (age 25 to 64 years) increased from 30% in 2002 to 36% in 2008.
