Q: Do you have data on how career tech schools are doing vs community colleges? Completion and skill attainment vs community colleges? Enrollment trends in career tech schools seem to be going down in OH.
I must present to the Board and any data you can provide will be most helpful and appreciated.
A: I have done some research on this question, but I don't have really good information for you. Here is a link to a report on enrollment trends in Louisiana Community and Technical Colleges which are also experiencing a declining enrollment in tech schools. It is likely that the causes in Ohio are similar. Additionally, it would be worth investigating whether or not the for-profit tech schools have made greater inroads in the tech area.
