Data were collected from high school vocational education seniors and students enrolled in community college vocational programs for use as baseline for a longitudinal followup study over the next five years. Two Oregon high schools and three community colleges participated. Findings indicated over 70 percent of the high school seniors in college preparatory, vocational, and general education programs planned to be working full or part time one year after high school graduation. Over 70 percent planned to attend postsecondary education one year after graduation. Of the college preparatory students, 71 percent planned to attend a four-year college; 27 percent of vocational students and 5 percent of general curriculum students also planned to attend. Of vocational concentrators, 27 percent planned to take academic courses at a community college; the same percentage planned to take vocational courses. Vocational students at both levels rated the quality of instruction very high and career counseling relatively low. Community college students rated high school reading skills high in preparation for college work but rated mathematics much lower. Vocational students at community colleges gave high marks to college efforts to prepare them for needed technical skills, but rated much lower help in speaking skills. (Survey results are appended.)
