Abstract

The employment and college enrolment history of high school graduates (N = 4,476) of a large, suburban school district was examined, with particular interest in how the postsecondary employment and school of graduates who had completed a career- and work-oriented secondary educational program (N = 399) compared with that of other graduates (N=4,476). Overall, program participants fared better on many employment outcomes than non-program participants, and as well as non-program participants on college performance. They worked more quarters and had more continuous employment than non-program participants. Program participants also earned more over the six-year follow-up and each year from 1994 through 1998. They were also less likely to be employed in areas traditionally considered short-term or temporary in their first jobs than were non-program graduates, and more were employed in trades than were non-program participants. Finally, program participants performed nearly the same on college outcomes as did non-program participants. Results call for adjusting thinking about the benefits of career- and work-oriented secondary education for all students, whether their postsecondary plans are to enrol in college or to enter employment.
高中职业教育和工作教育对高中后就业和大学成绩的影响:一项公立高中毕业生6年的纵向研究。
对一个大型郊区学区的高中毕业生(N=4,476)的就业和大学入学历史进行了研究,特别感兴趣的是完成职业和工作导向的中学教育计划的毕业生(N= 399)与其他毕业生(N=4,476)的高等教育就业和学校情况。总体而言,项目参与者在许多就业结果上都比非项目参与者表现更好,在大学表现上也比非项目参与者表现更好。与非项目参与者相比,他们工作的时间更长,持续就业的时间更长。从1994年到1998年,项目参与者在六年的随访期间和每年的收入都有所增加。与非项目毕业生相比,他们的第一份工作不太可能在传统上被认为是短期或临时的领域就业,而且与非项目参与者相比,更多的人在行业中就业。最后,项目参与者在大学成绩上的表现与非项目参与者几乎相同。研究结果要求我们调整思路,考虑以职业和工作为导向的中等教育对所有学生的好处,无论他们的高等教育计划是上大学还是就业。
