About half of Canadians see a need in taking training – Computer and occupational training most popular (Senator Bellemare)

Just under one in two Canadians are either interested in taking training (29%), interested but do not have time (7%) or interested but cannot afford it (13%), while just under one in two say they have all the training they need (28%) or do not want training (17%). Younger Canadians aged 18 to 34 are more likely to say they are interested in taking training (66%) than older Canadians aged 55 plus (28%).
