Abstract	An evaluation of secondary vocational education in Wisconsin was made using self-evaluation data from 55 schools. Each school gathered data from graduates, employers, advisory committee members, staff, and current students. Findings from the data were synthesized under five outcome areas: employment, postsecondary training, training satisfaction, male/female differences, and special needs. Some of the findings were as follows: (1) technology education graduates received the highest average wage of any program area, and business education graduate wages increased 62 percent in the 5 years after graduation; (2) two-thirds of graduates are working in jobs related to their high school vocational training; (3) vocational graduates have experienced markedly less unemployment than their contemporaries without such education; (4) vocational education graduates are more likely to go on to further education than to go into the job market immediately; (5) more male graduates are working full or part time, whereas more female graduates are full- or part-time students; and (6) special needs students and graduates have high rates of satisfaction with the program, but these students/graduates are more likely to be unemployed than other vocational graduates and less likely to continue their education after high school. (Document includes 46 tables and 190 pages of appendices that include a list of schools studied; charts illustrating 1978-1987 data for graduates, employers, and special needs students; and computer tables illustrating responses to follow-up studies and questionnaires.)
