Abstract	Overall, too few students are completing two-year college. Those who complete are still starting off unequally. About one-third of students earning academic degrees do not transfer, but rather go directly to work and find their degree has little value in the labor market. Research suggests they could have benefitted from having marketable skills added to their degree. This research report reviews prior research for two-year college students' post-college labor market outcomes. Evidence is presented from research that two-year college professional technical degrees offer the highest immediate earnings and strongest growth over time. Many graduates who go to work in lower-pay sectors like education and health and human services will need even more than the two-year degree. They will need a bachelor's degree. Guided Pathways, which started in Washington in 2016, is the context for this brief. Under the Guided Pathways framework, colleges re-design their degrees and offerings into structured pathways that align with students' goals for further education and careers. (ERIC).
