Indiana and Minnesota Students Who Focused on Career and Technical Education in High School: Who Are They, and What Are Their College and Employment Outcomes? Study Snapshot. REL 2021-090
Regional Educational Laboratory Midwest
In Indiana and Minnesota, career and technical education programs are intended to provide pathways to both postsecondary education and careers after high school. Each state's education agency, higher education agency, and workforce agency collaborated to develop career and technical education courses. These agencies partnered with the Regional Educational Laboratory Midwest to examine whether high school graduates in each state who completed a large number of career and technical education courses in a single career-oriented program of study (concentrators) had different college and workforce outcomes from graduates who share many of the same characteristics but completed fewer (samplers) or no career and technical education courses (nonparticipants). The findings from the study, which are presented in this study snapshot, can inform states' efforts to develop career and technical education programs and increase participation among other students.
