Policy responses Boosting college attainment (of course) Enabling non-college workers to enter good careers
34 Enabling Non-College Workers to Attain Good Careers Good careers for non-college workers? a. Fewer than there used to be b. Require significant skill investments beyond high school, e.g., Radiology tech, Nurse, EMT, Plumber, Certified Mechanic Holzer et al. 2011: Where are All the Good Jobs Going? Overall, these results suggest that the ability of less-skilled workers to get jobs in the highest-paying firms declined, because the best-paying jobs in manufacturing were replaced by well-paid jobs in professional and information services and the presence of the least-skilled workers declined in the manufacturing jobs that remain (p. 41).
35 Enabling Non-College Workers to Attain Good Careers Making the most of what we have a. Many kids of recent vintage will not complete college esp. males b. There are some good jobs for non-college workers with right skills c. Also many fair-to-poor jobs for non-college workers w/o these skills Unlikely that non-college workers are investing optimally a. Problem is too hard b. Education does not provide right signals (Career Academies good example, Kemple et al. 2008) c. Traditional career tributaries for non-college drying up Can do better for non-college-bound youth
