ANNOTATION: “The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of CTE [career and technical education] on time to gain employment post-release, length of employment, and average quarterly earnings among ex-offenders, as well as recidivism” (p. 1). Results and findings are presented for: sample description; the differences in post-release employment measures between CTE program participants and non-participants; the extent to which program participation affects recidivism; and the differences in employment outcomes between participants and non-participants. Program participants recidivate at a lower rate than non-participants—35.2% versus 40.7% respectively.
