| Abstract | This study examines the availability of career and technical education program areas in Tennessee high schools, concentrations (a three-or-more credit sequence in a program area) completed by 2007/08 high school graduates, and how these concentrations align with jobs in the labor market. It looks at how these outcomes differ, statewide and by region, and identifies corresponding high-wage and high-demand occupations projected over 2006-16. Key findings include: (1) Statewide, the average number of program areas offered in non-career and technical education schools (schools where students received their diploma and that offer courses in addition to those in career and technical education program areas) was 3.6 (out of 7). Across regions, it ranged from 2.9 to 4.7; (2) Statewide, 92 percent of graduates were enrolled in a school offering trade and industrial education, the program area most commonly available, and 26 percent were enrolled in a school offering technology engineering, the program area least commonly available; (3) Statewide, 18 percent of concentrators would need to change program areas to match the distribution of workers in the labor market; (4) Except for technology engineering occupations, which were high wage in all regions, occupations classified as high-wage varied by region; (5) No program area corresponded to a high-demand occupation in all regions. Business technology and trade and industrial education were the only program areas that did not correspond to a high-demand occupation in any region; and (6) Up to 7.1 percent of jobs in high-demand occupations projected over 2006-16 could potentially be filled by 2007/08 concentrators in corresponding program areas, suggesting that up to 71 percent of these jobs could be filled over the 10-year period if the number of these concentrators remains constant.
