Since the reauthorization of the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act in 2018, national and state educational policies are prioritizing career and technical education (CTE). A longstanding part of the educational system, CTE provides specific and practical knowledge to students wishing to gain the skills necessary to enter the workforce. While CTE has evolved from its beginnings in the early 20th century with the Smith-Hughes Act, the research on this area of education is scarce, particularly studies with a focus on postsecondary CTE. This study sought to fill a gap by focusing on postsecondary CTE credentials and their labor market outcomes. Postsecondary CTE degrees and certificates can serve as an option to provide students with successful career opportunities. One issue that stems from the inception of CTE is the stigma associated with this area of education as "less than" a bachelor's degree. Historically, there have been issues with tracking students into CTE based on demographic and academic characteristics, but there have been improvements in ensuring that CTE provides high-quality education and credentials to all students. The purpose of this study was to determine the predictors of completing a postsecondary CTE credential and explore the difference in labor market outcomes of students with postsecondary CTE credentials. Using a national dataset, this study found that students with different background characteristics and academic preparation complete credentials differently. Additionally, students completing postsecondary CTE credentials had significantly higher earnings relative to students with no or some postsecondary experience and students who completed an academic postsecondary credential. Recommendations for future research focus on how these labor market outcomes differ within postsecondary CTE credential pathways.
