Overview

Thank you for visiting the Adult Training and Education Survey (ATES) participant website.

If you have received a survey in the mail….

The U.S. Department of Education is currently conducting an important national research study about adult job training and education. This short survey is the first step in a study about job and career training opportunities for people of all ages. It will let us know if anyone in your household is eligible for the study.

Each household is different and we need your response so we can contact you to administer a survey that is right for your household.

  • Return the form even if no one in your household is currently in an adult training or education program.
  • The survey should be filled out by an adult household member living at this address.
