This working paper from Annenberg Brown University examines cost data to compare average costs per pupil in standalone high school CTE programs in Connecticut and Massachusetts to the most likely counterfactual schools.

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

This working paper from the Calder National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research examines the extent to which four cohorts of high school graduates in Kentucky persisted in and attained postsecondary credentials in their chosen CTE fields of concentration in high school. Findings indicate that relative to students with similar achievement prior to high school, as measured by grades and test scores, CTE concentration in high school is strongly associated with students being more likely to enroll in a two-year college and less likely to enroll in a four-year college.
