technical education (CTE) concentrators than nonconcentrators had received an associate’s degree as their highest postsecondary degree (14 vs. 9 percent). Conversely, a lower percentage of CTE concentrators than nonconcentrators had received a bachelor’s or higher degree as their highest postsecondary degree (48 vs. 54 percent). </div> <div class="" style="margin-bottom: 17px;" data-p="1" data-c-id="3722" data-c-seq="2"> <strong>Introduction</strong> </div> <div class="" style="margin-bottom: 17px;" data-p="2" data-c-id="3723" data-c-seq="3"> Career and technical education (CTE) is defined as courses (at the high school level) and programs (at the postsecondary subbaccalaureate level) that focus on the skills and knowledge required for specific jobs or fields of work.<sup><a href='#fn1' name='fr1'>1</a></sup><sup>,</sup> <sup><a href='#fn2' name='fr2'>2</a></sup> The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006, as amended by the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V), reflects a commitment by the federal government to support CTE programs in the United States.<sup><a href='#fn3' name='fr3'>3</a></sup> Generally, the goal of this legislation is to improve access to CTE and improve the experiences and outcomes of CTE learners at the high school and postsecondary levels.<sup><a href='#fn4' name='fr4'>4</a></sup> </div> <div class="" style="margin-bottom: 17px;" data-p="3" data-c-id="3724" data-c-seq="4"> This indicator presents data from a variety of sources that allow for an exploration of the state of CTE in the United States, primarily at the high school and postsecondary levels.<sup><a href='#fn5' name='fr5'>5</a></sup> It first examines data on CTE teachers, to provide a sense of CTE availability and resources, then presents the most recent data on secondary CTE participation, before turning to trends in completion of postsecondary CTE credentials. Finally, this indicator connects secondary and postsecondary CTE experiences by looking at the postsecondary outcomes of a cohort of high school CTE participants about 8 years after high school graduation. </div> <div class="" style="margin-bottom: 17px;" data-p="4" data-c-id="3725" data-c-seq="5"> Specifically, this indicator first uses data from the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) and the National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS) to examine the extent to which elementary and secondary schools experienced difficulty in filling open teaching positions in CTE in school years 2011–12 and 2020–21 and whether there are differences in education and teaching experience between teachers whose main teaching assignment was CTE and those whose main teaching assignment was in other fields in school year 2020–21. In 2020–21, among public schools hiring for at least one position, 31 percent had difficulty or were unable to fill open positions in CTE. Additionally, among public school teachers of grades 9–12, a higher percentage of CTE teachers than of teachers in many other fields were among the newest to the profession (i.e., had less than 3 years of experience). </div> <div class="" style="margin-bottom: 17px;" data-p="5" data-c-id="3726" data-c-seq="6"> Next, using the most recent data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) High School Transcript Study (HSTS), this indicator explores CTE coursetaking by CTE subject area and graduate characteristics, such as sex, race/ethnicity, English learner (EL) status, and the locale of their high school (cities, suburbs, towns, and rural areas).<sup><a href='#fn6' name='fr6'>6</a></sup> Data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) are then used to explore trends in completion of subbaccalaureate postsecondary degrees by CTE field between 2011–12 and 2021–22.

Data from HSLS:09 in this section provide more insight into the pathways from high school CTE participation to postsecondary education and outcomes about 8 years after public high school graduation. More specifically, these data provide insights into differences between high school CTE concentrators and nonconcentrators. In this indicator, CTE concentrators are defined as high school graduates who earned 2 or more credits in the same CTE area during high school; these CTE areas differ slightly from the fields reported in the sections above: <ul class="mb-0"> <li>agriculture and natural resources</li> <li>business, finance, and marketing</li> <li>communication and communications technologies</li> <li>computer and information sciences</li> <li>construction</li> <li>consumer services <li>engineering, design, and production</li> <li>health care</li> <li>mechanical repair and operation</li> <li>public services</li> </ul> Nonconcentrators are defined as high school graduates who did not earn 2 or more credits in the same CTE area during high school. Among fall 2009 ninth-graders who graduated from public high schools by 2013 (hereafter referred to as “2013 public high school graduates”), 39 percent were CTE concentrators and 61 percent were nonconcentrators.<sup><a href='#fn17' name='fr17'>17</a></sup> </div> <div id="component-3752-links" class="controls d-flex"> <div class="flex-grow-1"> <a href="#" class="d-none prev-finding-link" data-component-id="3752"><img src="/programs/coe/images/caret-left-solid.svg" alt="" /> Previous Finding</a> </div> <div class=""> <a href="" class="d-none next-finding-link" data-component-id="3752">Next Finding <img src="/programs/coe/images/caret-right-solid.svg" alt="" /></a> <a href="" class="d-none select-another-subgroup-link" data-component-id="3752">Select Another Subgroup Characteristic <img src="/programs/coe/images/bi-caret-up-fill.svg" alt="" /></a> </div> </div> </div> <div data-p="26" data-c-id="3753" data-figure-number="" data-c-seq="33" class="component-paragraph" id="component-3753"> <div> While CTE programs are designed to help students enter the workforce without needing a bachelor’s degree, the majority of high school CTE concentrators participate in postsecondary education, and many obtain bachelor’s degrees.

This was 4 percentage points lower than the percentage of nonconcentrators who had ever enrolled in postsecondary education (84 percent). On average, both CTE concentrators and nonconcentrators who enrolled in postsecondary education first did so less than 4 months after exiting high school. <span class="d-none" data-component-id="3753" data-show-figure="false" data-figure-number="" data-figure-id="" data-taxonomy-id="1016">[Educational attainment]</span> </div> <div id="component-3753-links" class="controls d-flex"> <div class="flex-grow-1"> <a href="#" class="d-none prev-finding-link" data-component-id="3753"><img src="/programs/coe/images/caret-left-solid.svg" alt="" /> Previous Finding</a> </div> <div class=""> <a href="" class="d-none next-finding-link" data-component-id="3753">Next Finding <img src="/programs/coe/images/caret-right-solid.svg" alt="" /></a> <a href="" class="d-none select-another-subgroup-link" data-component-id="3753">Select Another Subgroup Characteristic <img src="/programs/coe/images/bi-caret-up-fill.svg" alt="" /></a> </div> </div> </div> <div data-p="27" data-c-id="3754" data-figure-number="" data-c-seq="34" class="component-paragraph" id="component-3754"> <div> <i>Public High School CTE Concentrators and Postsecondary Certificate/Degree Attainment and Time to Degree</i> </div> <div id="component-3754-links" class="controls d-flex"> <div class="flex-grow-1"> <a href="#" class="d-none prev-finding-link" data-component-id="3754"><img src="/programs/coe/images/caret-left-solid.svg" alt="" /> Previous Finding</a> </div> <div class=""> <a href="" class="d-none next-finding-link" data-component-id="3754">Next Finding <img src="/programs/coe/images/caret-right-solid.svg" alt="" /></a> <a href="" class="d-none select-another-subgroup-link" data-component-id="3754">Select Another Subgroup Characteristic <img src="/programs/coe/images/bi-caret-up-fill.svg" alt="" /></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="chart" data-figure="6" id="figure-471"> <div class="share"> <div class="share-button-wrap"> <img src="/programs/coe/images/share-button.svg" alt="" /> </div> <div class="share-options"> <ul class="d-flex flex-column"> <li> <div data-sharer="facebook" data-url="http://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator/tob"> <img src="/programs/coe/images/share-facebook.svg" data-image-hover="/programs/coe/images/share-facebook-hover.svg" alt="Share this indicator figure on Facebook" title="Share this indicator figure on Facebook" /> </div> </li> <li> <div data-sharer="twitter" data-url="http://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator/tob"> <img src="/programs/coe/images/x/x-share.svg" data-image-hover="/programs/coe/images/x/x-share-hover.svg" alt="Share this indicator figure on X" title="Share this indicator figure on X" /> </div> </li> <li> <div data-sharer="linkedin" data-url="http://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator/tob"> <img src="/programs/coe/images/linkedin-share.svg" data-image-hover="/programs/coe/images/linkedin-share-hover.svg" alt="Share this indicator figure on LinkedIn" title="Share this indicator figure on LinkedIn" /> </div> </li> <li> <a href="mailto:?subject=Condition of Education: Figure 6 from Indicator TOB&body=http://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator/tob#6"> <img src="/programs/coe/images/share-connect-with-us.svg" data-image-hover="/programs/coe/images/share-connect-with-us-hover.svg" alt="Share this indicator figure via email" title="Share this indicator figure via email" /> </a> </li> <li> <div class="clipboard-confirmation" style="display: none;"><span>URL Copied</span></div> <img onclick="shareLinkClicked(event)" alt="Click to copy URL of this page into clipboard" title="Click to copy URL of this page into clipboard" data-clipboard-text="http://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator/tob?utm_source=coe_share&utm_medium=figure_tool&utm_campaign=copied_url#6" id="copy-clipboard-TOB-471" src="/programs/coe/images/share-link.svg" data-image-hover="/programs/coe/images/share-link-hover.svg" /> </li> <li> <a href="javascript: downloadFigure_static(471, '6')"> <img src="/programs/coe/images/share-download.svg" data-image-hover="/programs/coe/images/share-download-hover.svg" alt="Download this indicator figure" title="Download this indicator figure" /> </a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="download-container-figure-471"> <a id="6"></a> <figure>Figure 6.
