Career/Technical Education (CTE) Statistics is a
survey area of the
National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
NCES
is part of the U.S. Department of Education’s
Institute of Education Sciences (IES).
The Career/Technical Education Statistics system
obtains data from NCES' surveys of high school
transcripts, postsecondary students, secondary and
postsecondary faculty, adult learners, and
longitudinal surveys that monitor students through
high school and into the labor market and/or
postsecondary education.
The CTE Statistics system is an important source for
evaluation data of career/technical education mandated
by the Perkins Act. Data and reports are used by
researchers, analysts, administrators, CTE educators,
and policy-makers. NCES publishes reports about
career/technical education-related subjects, such as
student participation, staff attributes, and adult
education. The CTE Statistics section of the NCES
website provides links to:
·
Highlights from CTE Statistics publications
·
Information about the
data sources used for analyzing career/technical
education
·
Secondary,
postsecondary, and
adult level tables detailing the attributes of CTE
programs

programs. Be aware, though, that there is
inconsistency and confusion about whether community
college programs are categorized as CTE, which may
throw statistics off.
