Even in crafts occupations, a substantial proportion of young men obtain their skills through informal methods. Their participation in skilled manual training programs is certainly much greater than among those who do not become craftsmen; nevertheless, more than 40 percent in crafts positions did not report such training. An additional 30 percent of the young men received training either through apprenticeship or company training, i.e. tied directly to the jobs they held; relatively few obtained training independent of work experience.
