In this paper, we present a novel method for linking non-completers with completers according to their program of study. This method allows us to calculate the…

Lu, Tham – National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER), 2015
Many students do not complete full qualifications in the vocational education and training (VET) system because their intention is to obtain only the particular skills they require.

Rosenfeld, Stuart – Community College Journal, 2012
Given today's always-on information economy, few professional tracks are as consistently overlooked as agriculture. Decades of mechanization, industrialization, and consolidation have reduced the number of people employed in farming from 16 percent of the total U.S. workforce in 1945 to less than 2 percent in 2000. Those that do opt to pursue…

Since 2010, new types of state-funded schools have opened in England with a focus on providing alternative education provision. Very little is known about these schools, partly due to their novelty, and how they are attempting to re-engage those students who for various, and often complex, reasons have become disconnected from education. We…

We study the returns to apprenticeship and vocational training for three early labor market outcomes all measured at age 25 for East and West German youths: non-employment (i.e. unemployment or out of the labor force), permanent fulltime employment, and wages.
