1 Employer overrode other types of instructional providers; see the glossary for more detail on instructional providers. 2 This category includes courses in basic education, personal awareness/improvement, and physical education/leisure. NOTE: This table includes only adults who worked at any time in the past 12 months. The estimates in this table were based on information that was collected on up to four work-related courses taken in the 12 months prior to the interview. If an adult took more than four courses, four were sampled for data collection. Respondents could list multiple types of employer support for each course.
