    The Impacts of Gender and Income on Career and Technical Education
    Cashen, Mary (Center for Poverty Research, University of California, DAVIS, 2012)
    For decades, high school students have taken technical training classes that prepare them for jobs, but little research has examined the impact these classes have on whether those students go to college. In a new study, Center for Poverty Research 2012 Visiting Graduate scholar Mary Cashen finds that both family income and gender predict which students are more likely to complete high school Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses, as well as which will pursue a two- or four-year degree.
