Skills and training in the non-profit sector

Statistics Canada’s 1999 Workplace and Employee Survey (WES) provides data on non-profit organisations and the paid workers they employ. This report draws on this data to examine the incidence of training in the non-profit sector and the characteristics of employers who provided training and or employees who participated in training during 1999. The report focuses on issues of changing skill needs and training. It examines changes in skill requirements using a range of indicators, placing the non-profit sector in a comparative context with for-profit and quasi-government sectors. The report considers the incidence of training across establishments and paid employees, the types of training provided, training practices, the characteristics of employees who receive training, and the perceived effectiveness of the training. Non-profit employers are subdivided into the sub-sectors of culture, recreation and associations; health, education and social services; and other ‘non-profit’ industries.
