Abstract

About one-half of U.S. high schools offer dual-credit, career-technical education students, yet relatively little is known about how these learning experiences are associated with students' college access, graduation, and employment outcomes. Longitudinal administrative and labor market data sets were used to model college success and labor market outcomes in a Wisconsin technical collage. Selected types of dual-credit completion during high school predicted, enrollment, early college success, graduation, and 2013 earnings four years following high school.
