Those who attend college generally earn more than those who do not, but the rising cost of education, a shrinking entry-level job market, and new technologies are rewriting the future.  \nToday’s high school students need new and different college and career pathways to ensure their future economic mobility. Advanced vocational and career and technical education (CTE) in high school has led to increased wages and fewer periods when young people are neither working nor in school in the early post–high school years. Public and private leaders can pursue policies that ensure young people have learning and employment opportunities that promote individual well-being and community prosperity.  \nCOLLEGE AND CAREER PATHWAYS FOR ALL  \nHigh school CTE programs take many forms, such as specialized training schools, career-specific course concentrations in high school, and dual enrollment that allows students to earn college credits, a two-year college degree, or a nondegree credential while in high school. Some programs rely solely on federal and state funding, whereas others rely on private or philanthropic investments. Typically, CTE programs operate at similar or moderately higher costs compared with traditional education options.  \nHistorically, vocational programs reinforced occupational segregation by steering lowincome students and students of color away from college pathways. Newer CTE models seek to overcome this history by complementing a postsecondary degree, not replacing it. Still, racial and gender gaps persist, with Black students less likely to have access to high-quality CTE programs.  \nDo CTE programs lead to greater economic mobility?  \nYes, when they develop skills that allow students to connect with high-demand jobs. Early specialization can build skills and develop connections with local labor market needs.  \nSome CTE programs are designed to directly connect with local labor market and employer needs. For example, in Minnesota, high school CTE programs are aligned with local industries, and students who specialize in CTE are more likely to work locally five years after graduation. Since CTE programs are location specific, funding,  \nparticipation, and outcomes vary by state. Place-specific research has found that CTE programs  \n◼  increased high school graduation rates and earnings for male students with disabilities in Connecticut;  \n◼  led to higher earnings one year and seven years after graduation in Massachusetts, especially for Black and Latino students, students with disabilities, and lower-income students ; and  \n◼  increased the likelihood of earning a postsecondary degree within three years of high school for male participants in New York.  \nBy increasing graduation rates, postsecondary degree enrollment, and future earnings, CTE programs boost econo","cbCaipMzAxrzeP2r","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipMzAxrzeP2r","pdf",475368,"English","# College and Career Pathways for All\n## Do CTE programs lead to greater economic mobility?\n## Do CTE programs discourage college graduation?\n# Policy in Action: YouthForce NOLA’s Work-Based Learning","[{\"question\":\"How do CTE programs improve economic mobility for students?\",\"answer\":\"CTE programs improve mobility by building skills that connect students to high-demand jobs and by increasing graduation rates, postsecondary enrollment, and future earnings.\"},{\"question\":\"Do CTE programs prevent students from going to college?\",\"answer\":\"No. Evidence summarized in the document shows no difference in four-year college enrollment and progression for comparable students, and only differences in the type of postsecondary degree completed.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the YouthForce NOLA example show about work-based learning?\",\"answer\":\"It shows that a career-connected CTE initiative can lead to high alumni rates enrolling in postsecondary education or obtaining jobs, with higher earnings for credentialed students.\"}]","PATHWAYS TO PROSPERITY - Policies to Improve Economic Mobility and Wealth Building for All | PDF",1792064055]
