Previous studies suggest that completion of a career and technical program has a positive effect on employment when students do not pursue postsecondary education and if they obtain trainingrelated jobs. Career and Technical Education is a massive enterprise in the U.S. Thousands of comprehensive high schools, career and technical high schools, area career and technical centers, and community colleges offer career and technical programs. Virtually every high shool student takes at least one career and technical education course, and one in four students are involved in career and technical programs. In addition, as many as 40 million adults engage in short-term postsecondary occupational training.
