This annual report from the Career & Technical Education Policy Exchange (CTEx) at Georgia State University examines the latest administrative data from Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Tennessee, and Washington to understand changes in CTE concentration just before and just after the COVID-19 pandemic began. In addition, the report examines differences in CTE concentration by urbanicity, where the comparisons differ by state.

With some exceptions, the findings suggest that CTE concentration did not substantively change with the first cohorts affected by the start of the pandemic and that gaps in concentration by student gender, race, and ethnicity did not widen at the onset of the pandemic. In Michigan and Montana, however, students with identified disabilities were less likely to concentrate in CTE than students without identified disabilities.
