Abstract

"This study shows that 10 percent of all non-formal further training courses in Germany are related to some form of ICT technology. However, the content of ICT courses differs across demographic groups. While older individuals largely participate in training course that provide basic ICT skills, such as basic internet courses, younger individuals participate more often in technical courses, such as programming courses. We also find that men are much more likely to participate in technical ICT courses than women." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
