| Abstract | Career and technical education (CTE) -- also known as vocational or technical education -- offers students and young adults a clear, practical route from school to the workforce. It is short and affordable; has low barriers to entry; and directly applies to employers' needs -- often leading to good, in-demand jobs (Carnevale, Jayasundera & Hanson, 2012). CTE includes a diverse set of programs and courses in high schools and community colleges that lead to skilled technical jobs (National Academy of Sciences, 2017) in areas such as health care, information technology (IT), transportation and logistics, and advanced manufacturing. The purpose of this study was to explore several factors that young adults may consider when making career decisions through an online survey. The online survey asked about their opinions of CTE; their views about jobs in health science, IT, and transportation, as well as the jobs' relevance during the pandemic; and their interest in pursuing career paths in these industries. Previous research has shown a mismatch between the number of job offerings and the number of students who concentrate on these fields in high school in the New York City (NYC) area (Sublett & Griffith, 2019).
