The bar charts illustrate both the purposes of studying among students of different age groups and the amount of support provided for them by employers.
Overall, the number of students who chose to study for career are more than those who decided to study for interest. The majority of students under 26 are studying for career, while those who are older (over 49) chose to study for interest.
In terms of those who their main reason for study is career, the figure decreased from a maximum amount of 80 students in those under 26 to a low of just under 20 students in over 49 students. The figure was more than those who study for interest until 40 to 49 year students, in which they became equal.
On the other hand, those who study for interest increased from a minimum of 10 students to a peak of 70 students in the oldest students, which was the only group in which the number of those who study for career are lower than those who study for interest.
With regard to the second chart, it can be seen that the time off and fees with which employers helped students accounted for just over 60 in the youngest group. The support dropped to a low of approximately 30 in 30 to 39 students, but then it rose again to around 45 students in the over 49 students.
