Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Analyzing the progress of students through postsecondary vocational programs and into the labor market presents a number of challenges. Several factors that may affect the likelihood of completing school and the level of participation in the labor market must be considered in any analysis, particularly when comparing students enrolled in different types of programs and institutions. In addition to these and other student-level factors, local-level conditions may have an effect on education and labor market outcomes. The condition of the local economy as well as the availability of other postsecondary institutions in the area may have an impact. One of the primary objectives of this analysis is to examine the effects of local economic conditions and the availability of other postsecondary institutions on education and labor market outcomes. In a review of the research on the economic benefits of sub-baccalaureate education, Grubb (1999, p. 7) notes that “the sub-baccalaureate labor market appears to be quite local” in that employers needing workers with a sub-baccalaureate credential tend to search locally, and that sub-baccalaureate students look to local institutions for employment opportunities. This study uses the 1996-2001 Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study (BPS:1996/2001) to examine the education and labor market outcomes of students who first enrolled in 1995-96 and majored in a vocational/technical program. BPS is representative of all beginning postsecondary students in the United States, including older students and those attending less-than-2-year institutions. The BPS sample consists of approximately 12,000 students who were beginning postsecondary education for the first time. The first follow-up of the BPS cohort (BPS:96/98) occurred in the spring and summer of 1998, approximately 3 years after they first enrolled, and the second follow-up occurred in 2001, about 6 years after they first enrolled.
