A Graphic Perspective of Todays Education
15
Formal Education

• Is that which occurs in a more structured
  education setting. Representative of this
  element would be school/college and
  school/college related activities such as taking
  a course(s), participating in an athletic event,
  holding employment as part of a formal
  cooperative technical education program
  (internship) and or participating in student
  organizations.

16
Informal Education

• Consists of education which typically takes place
  away from the school/college environment and is
  not a part of the planned educative process.
  (Part time volunteer work in hospital, baby
  sitting, taking a summer vacation is considered
  informal education).

  school education may serve as a foundation for

  received early in ones life, might serve to let
  an individual know that a certain occupation or
  technical field would or would not be satisfying
  to that person.
