Abstract

The need for information about employment success after students have completed or left educational programs designed to prepare them for employment has been recognized for some time. Follow-up studies of these former students and their employers provide data that enable the determination of whether or not former students are employed in the occupation for which they were trained as well as salary information and also enable the assessment of the adequacy of job preparation training programs in providing employees to meet employer needs. The 1982-83 student follow-up involved a sample of approximately 20% of the local education agencies offering programs to prepare students for employment. The sampling plan was developed according to NCES parameters in a manner to maximize representation in terms of students, variety and number of programs, and geographic location of LEA's over a five year period.
