Career and Technical Education: Current Policy, Prominent Programs, and Evidence

This report from MDRC examines the reasons for the revival of Career Technical Education (CTE), policies that have fostered the growth of CTE, and the major types of CTE programs.  A useful resource for stakeholders interested in the level and rigor of the available evidence supporting CTE, the report defines what is meant by CTE instruction and training, career pathways, apprenticeships and career-readiness skills and examines evidence to support these CTE programs.
