Career and Technical Education Participation in Vermont

 


Three students from the PRS traveled to Montpelier on Wednesday, March 15th, to testify before a joint hearing of the Vermont House Education and Institutions Committees. They presented their findings of an analysis of career and technical education enrollment in Vermont. The group gathered data on student enrollment patterns and program offerings across the state as well as a variety of demographic, geographic, and socio-economic variables. The report concludes, “three factors—commute time, available curriculum options, and student academic performance—all affect the rate at which students participate in technical education programs.”
