Vann, Barry

Human Resource Development Quarterly, v6 n4 p375-82 Win 1995

A survey of dropouts from a workplace General Educational Development class received 37 responses (33%). The highest rated deterrent to participation was time constraints; clique members were more affected by this factor than were isolates. Males had higher dropout rates and they considered the program a lower personal priority than did females. (SK)
