Career and Technical Education (CTE) for Climate Jobs: A Framework for Secondary and Postsecondary CTE

This paper from MDRC presents an overview of the scope of jobs that are affected by the transition to a clean energy and climate-resilient economy, a review of the current state of policies aimed at expanding the climate workforce, a review of the evidence about CTE, and a discussion of barriers and potential solutions to improving the education and training pipeline to support an economic transition that is also just and equitable.

Pathways to Credentials: Does the Timing of Earning an Industry Certification in High School Influence Postsecondary Educational Outcomes?

This article in the May 2023 issue of Journal of Research in Technical Careers outlines how earning an industry certification was associated with postsecondary enrollment and degree attainment, and whether the timing of the certification influenced that relationship. Report findings indicate that for early earners (grades 9 or 10), the certification was more closely associated with enrollment and attainment at 4-year colleges. For later earners (grades 11 or 12), the certification was closely associated with enrollment and attainment at 2-year colleges.

Investigating the Relationship Between Career and Technical Education High School Course-Taking and Early Job Outcomes

This study examined how high school course-taking patterns (characterized by CTE concentration, academic concentration, or no concentration), personal characteristics embedded in a social cognitive theory framework, and contextual variables interact in the prediction of students' income and job satisfaction eight years after high school graduation.

Understanding SAT® Score Relationships with Career and Technical Education (CTE) Program Outcomes

This SAT® validity study focuses on SAT scores' relationships with student outcomes in CTE programs at 2-year postsecondary institutions. SAT scores are useful for understanding students' academic performance in CTE programs, as well as their persistence to the second year and degree/certificate completion within three years. This study provides evidence that the SAT can be a useful tool for understanding and evaluating student readiness for CTE programs and students' subsequent success in these programs.

Putting Evidence on CTE to Work

This article from Network Co-Principal Investigator Shaun M. Dougherty presents evidence on the kinds of CTE programs that produce the most promising outcomes for students. A growing research base shows that CTE programs linked to workforce needs can improve high school graduation rates and workforce earnings and serve as a bridge to postsecondary education.
