[…] of training takes place either at the workplace or at the employer’s training centre, and that most training is paid for by employers.

[…] Nevertheless, there are notable cases in which causation does seem likely. First, joining religious and possibly a variety of other civic groups may have a sizable positive impact on voting behavior.
