For the purposes of The Condition of Education, adult education for work-related reasons includes apprenticeships, formal work-related courses, college or university degree or certificate programs for work-related reasons, and vocational/technical diploma programs for work-related reasons. It excludes informal learning (e.g., brown bag demonstrations, conferences, or self-paced study).
