National Training, Education, and Workforce Survey
As part of NCSES's ongoing website redesign project, the National Training, Education, and Workforce Survey page has been reimagined. Beginning in May 2023, only survey data published from the 2022 cycle or earlier will be available on this page. Data from all subsequent cycles will be published on our new National Training, Education, and Workforce Survey (NTEWS) page.
The National Training, Education, and Workforce Survey is a nationally representative survey of individuals ages 16 through 75 and has a special focus on the skilled technical workforce. This survey will collect information on the following topics: employment characteristics, credential types (vocational certificates, occupational licenses, and industry-recognized certifications), work experience programs, education enrollment and attainment, and demographic characteristics. Data from this survey will provide information on the prevalence of work-related credentials and the relationship between these credentials and employment outcomes.
