There are four major conclusions that can be drawn from and
is supported by our analysis of the information. (a) Non-college bound students who
participate in vocational education programs will more likely finish high school. (b)
Mastery of basic academic skills is affected very little by a student’s participation in a
vocational education program. (c) If vocational education students participated in other
curricular programs in high school, the chances of them pursing a post-secondary
education increased slightly. (d) Vocational education program graduates tend to have
more job satisfaction than other high school graduates from other school programs.
