Abstract	A study was conducted of formal occupational education articulation agreements between secondary and postsecondary institutions in New York State. Specifically, the study investigated the administration of agreements; the characteristics, goals, and length of time of agreements; benefits; problems and barriers; costs; and characteristics associated with successful efforts. The study involved a statewide survey of 59 two-year colleges and 52 secondary institutions, requesting information on existing or upcoming agreements; and on-site visits and consultations at ten two-year colleges and seven secondary schools. Study findings, based on responses from 45 two-year colleges and 37 secondary schools, included the following: (1) 60% of the two-year colleges and 76% of the secondary schools reported having one or more articulation agreements; (2) the respondents identified 73 distinct agreements; (3) program coordinators indicated that contact was made with their counterparts at the cooperating institution once a semester; (4) advanced placement was the most common feature of the articulation agreements; (5) the most frequently reported objectives at both the secondary and postsecondary levels dealt with advanced placement/credit and access to college programs; and (6) the career programs most frequently identified as part of an articulated agreement were nursing, data processing, drafting, electrical technology, and automotive technology. The study report includes a sample of the questionnaire packet and a schematic of reported agreements. (AYC)
