Abstract	This study of Alberta (Canada) grade 12 students examines educational achievements, further education plans, perceptions of the relevance of high school education, career goals, work experiences, and acquisition of work-related skills, concluding that: (1) there is a complex linkage between secondary and post-secondary education and between education and employment; (2) demographic and socioeconomic characteristics have a major impact on educational attainment and plans; (3) female students have higher achievement levels than male students; (4) attitude is a key factor in goal attainment; (5) costs are perceived as a barrier to educational goals; (6) students acquire a variety of job skills through high school courses, work experience programs, paid jobs, and volunteer work; and (7) students undervalue the job relevance of core academic skills. Report data tables and analyses are organized under the following headings: research methodology; socio-demographic and personal characteristics; educational status, achievement, preferences, and plans; evaluating high school education; work experience and plans; acquisition of employability skills in school and work. A copy of the 1996 Alberta High School Graduate Questionnaire is appended. (CH)
