Abstract

This research draws on two new modules added to the ELIA questionnaire on Skills Self-Assessment and Job-Related Structured Training. With this information, we examine the means used by Quebec workers to improve their skills, and compare these means to those used by workers in the rest of Canada. Specifically, we examine variations in workers' self-assessment of their skills and find that the majority of workers report that their skill level has improved over the previous two years. We then examine the means used by employees to improve their skills by distinguishing between formal and informal training, the characteristics of employees who have access to formal training, the duration of the training, the effects and impacts of the training, the goals of the workers taking the training, and the usefulness of the training for other firms in the same industry. We can conclude that workers are using more and more means to improve their skill level, but that informal training remains more used than formal means. Comparing with the rest of Canada, the results show that Canadian workers use a wider variety of means to train compared to Quebec workers. La présente recherche s’appuie sur deux nouveaux modules ajoutés au questionnaire de l’ELIA portant sur l’Autoévaluation des compétences et la Formation structurée liée à l’emploi. Avec ces données, nous examinons les moyens utilisés par les travailleurs québécois pour améliorer leurs compétences, et comparons ces moyens à ceux utilisés par les travailleurs du reste du Canada. Plus spécifiquement, nous étudions les variations dans l’auto-évaluation des compétences des travailleurs et trouvons que la majorité des travailleurs affirment que leur niveau de compétence s’est amélioré au courant des deux années précédentes. Nous examinons ensuite les moyens utilisés par les employés pour rehausser leurs compétences en distinguant formation formelle et informelle, les caractéristiques des employés qui ont accès à la formation formelle, la durée de la formation, les effets et impacts de la formation, les objectifs visées par les travailleurs suivant ces formations ainsi que l’utilité de la formation pour d’autres entreprises de la même industrie. Nous pouvons conclure que les travailleurs utilisent de plus en plus de moyens pour améliorer leur niveau de compétence, mais que les formations de type informel restent plus utilisées que les moyens de type formel. En comparant avec le reste du Canada, les résultats montrent que les travailleurs canadiens utilisent une plus grande variété de moyens de se former comparé aux travailleurs québécois.
