Sparked by the current economic situation in the U.S., policymakers have begun to shift their concern from solely concentrating on the preparation of students for college to preparing them for the workforce as well. Thus, it is time for CTE to understand its impact on students' long-term trajectories. The purpose of this study was to predict employment status in 2006 (using the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data set), based on demographic variables, high school curriculum tracks, and employment expectations. Findings indicated that general track graduates were 1.8 times more likely than CTE track graduates to be employed. Implications of this study point to the pressing need for further research on employment outcomes of CTE graduates and the importance of high school students gaining skills for employment.
