Vocational Education and Training: Impact on Youth Working Paper, Carnegie Council on Policy Studies in Higher Education, Berkeley, CA, 1979 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: Carnegie Council on Policy Studies in Higher Education Keyword(s): Dropouts; Educational Attainment; High School Curriculum; Job Satisfaction; Job Training; Peers/Peer influence/Peer relations; Project Talent; Vocational Education; Work Attitudes Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The report examines: (1) choice of high school curriculum; (2) relations between curriculum, on the one hand, and aspirations, occupational information, and highest year of school completed on the other; (3) psychological reactions to the high school experience of those who have followed various tracks; and (4) the early labor market and further training experiences of former vocational students as compared with their general program peers with equivalent years of schooling (10-11; 12; 13-15). Multivariate techniques, including path analysis of the educational attainment process, are used extensively. The experience of men and women, blacks and whites, is treated separately. The analysis is based on data from the NLS of Young Men (l966-73) and Young Women( l968-72). |
