The Importance of Education and Training
• “I will not sacrifice the core investments that we need to grow and
create jobs. We will invest in medical research. We will invest in
clean energy technology. We will invest in new roads and airports
and broadband access. We will invest in education. We will invest in
job training. We will do what we need to do to compete, and we will
win the future.”
• Many of us would agree that education and training are very
important keys to our future--the work doesn't get done without an
educated and trained workforce.
• So what's the difference between education and training?

simple.

The Difference Between
Education and Training
An Example
• These are competencies that are typically acquired in a classroom
environment.
• Luckily, I meet all the basic requirements and enroll at MTA. The
MTA curriculum, classroom and lab activities prepare me to become
a certified mouse trap builder.
• MTA instructors train me in the methods and techniques required to
build mouse traps.
• Under their supervision, I actively participate in learning a set of
skills: reading blueprints, developing cost estimates, preparing
quotes and selecting materials.
• I learn how to measure, cut and assemble the various components
that make up a mousetrap.

The Difference Between
Education and Training
An Example
• During the course of my education and training, my teachers and
trainers will periodically create a test for me.
• They may call it a quiz, test, exam, assessment or paper – whatever
they choose to call it and whichever exam software they may use,
it’s their attempt to figure out whether or not I’m “getting it”, and
how well and how much is actually sticking and forming the
necessary neural connections.
