Continuing training guidance has for many years been regularly ascribed a large and often growing significance with regard to fostering participation. Is there any empirical support for such a claim beyond everyday observations and platitudes, and if so how far does this extend? This article analyses current data and time series from the Adult Education Survey (AES), which are then subjected to a perspective interpretation. A large and manifest requirement for guidance is revealed. Further research questions are also stated.
