Linkage Between Fields of Focus in High School Career Technical Education and College Majors

Using school fixed effects models, this CALDER study examined the extent to which students obtained postsecondary credentials in the CTE fields of focus they chose in high school. Findings indicate that focusing on a particular CTE field in high school is associated with an increased probability of enrolling in and obtaining a postsecondary credential in that field.

Getting the Most Out of Short-Term Career and Technical Education (CTE) Credentials: What Explains Differences in Debt and Earnings?

This Urban Institute research report focuses on "new majority" students who enroll in short-term CTE programs to help them overcome barriers and improve their pathways to economic mobility. Using data from the College Scorecard, the report examines CTE programs overall and the six fields of study with the most CTE programs to explore the outcomes of debt, earnings two years after graduation, debt burden (debt as a share of earnings), and how each outcome was shaped by program, institution, and labor market characteristics.

Why Choose Career Technical Education? Disentangling Student Preferences from Program Availability

This paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) presents the first evidence of how students make career technical education (CTE) course-taking decisions. The authors examine disparities in CTE access and participation by gender, race, and income for Michigan high school students and use a simple discrete choice model to decompose participation gaps between supply (access) and demand (preferences).

Do They Feel Ready? Self-Efficacy of Career and Technical Education High School Student

This non-experimental, quantitative study used a correlational research design to determine whether a significant, positive relationship existed between students' completion of a series of CTE courses and earning industry-recognized credentials and feeling a sense of self-efficacy toward employment pursuits.

The Opportunity Costs of Career and Technical Education: Coursetaking Tradeoffs for High School CTE Students

This working paper seeks to better understand the extent to which CTE is associated with trade-offs within students’ high school curricula, such as electives and Advanced Placement courses. Special attention is paid to how curricular trade-offs may occur differently among different student populations. Overall, the findings counter longstanding narratives that CTE participation limits student access to college preparatory coursework.
