  • Basic skills courses
  • Credential (degree or diploma) programs
  • Apprenticeships
  • Work-related courses
  • Personal interest/personal development courses
  • Informal learning at work

For each program or course, information is collected about

  • Subject
  • Duration

Extensive background, employment, and household information was also collected for each adult.

NHES also has data on adult civic involvement in the Adult Civic Involvement Survey that was fielded as part of NHES:1996.
