The American Educational Research Association’s (AERA) 2023 Annual Meeting will be centered on “Interrogating Consequential Education Research in Pursuit of Truth.” Join our team in Chicago from April 13-16, to explore what evidence, if any, people use to construct their positions about truth as they make decisions concerning education.
AERA is a national research society focused on advancing knowledge about education, encouraging scholarly inquiry related to education, and promoting the use of research to improve education and serve the public good.
Our experts are excited to attend this year’s event and discuss how we can collaborate with other education researchers to pursue truth and shape the future of education policy and practice.
RTI Presentations
Does the Timing of Earning an Industry Certification in High School Influence Postsecondary Outcomes?
April 15 | 9:50 AM – 11:20 AM CST
Presenter: Elizabeth Glennie
Description: Earning industry certifications helps people prepare for jobs in a range of careers. Doing so in secondary school may help students prepare for college. Using administrative data on two cohorts of first-time ninth graders from Florida, we examined whether earning a certification was associated with postsecondary enrollment and degree attainment and whether the timing of the certification influenced that relationship. Earning a certification in high school prepared students for success in both 2 and 4-year colleges. However, the patterns of certifications and college enrollment and degree attainment differed based on when students earned the certification. For early earners the certification was more of a pathway to 4-year college; for later earners, the certification was a pathway to 2-year college.
