When asked how important their co-op specific education and training is with respect to various aspects of their professional life, members answered fairly uniformly (not unlike the employee responses). It is interesting that members feel learning more about their co-op could advance their career, even a little bit, when they do not necessarily work in the co-op sector.

Interestingly, 65% (107/174) members would be willing to pay for co‑op‑specific education or training.

To the question: "How important was your co‑op‑specific education and training with respect to you becoming and continuing to be a member?" 53% considered their training as important.

These findings suggest some key conditions for members to take co‑op specific education and training. These include training objective, length, price, location, facilitator, incentives from employer, and career advancement, which are similar answers to employees.
