Abstract | "This paper examines how the nature of curriculum updates of vocational education and training (VET) changes VET graduates' occupational skill bundles and wages. Using VET curriculum texts as data, we apply natural language processing methods to identify the nature of changes in curriculum updates. We introduce and measure two dimensions of curriculum updates: the 'novelty rate' (degree of new skills entering an updated curriculum) and the 'removal rate' (degree of old skills being dropped from the old curriculum). By matching this information on VET curriculum updates with labour market data for VET graduates, we empirically investigate how different types of curriculum updates change the wages of graduates with updated curricula compared to those of graduates with old curricula. We find non-linear relations and complementarities between the dimensions of updates and graduates' wages: the association of the novelty rate with wages is u-shaped whereas the association of the removal rate with wages is inversely u-shaped. Most important are the combined results of adding and removing skills. While adding lots of new skills without removing old ones is not beneficial, removing skills with all kinds of curriculum updates is. A further analysis on the actual skills that are added or removed illustrates the trade-offs that curriculum designers must make." The study refers to the period 2004-2020.
