Handicapped individuals earn less money and have more difficulty getting jobs than their nonhandicapped peers. Vocational education is one potential way to improve the labor market experiences of handicapped youth. This paper explored the feasibility of using the Youth Cohort to examine the effects of vocational education for handicapped people. The orientation plan presented in this paper provides potential users with the following information: (1) A description of the data base, the sampling characteristics, the types of variables available, and the supplementary data sources (e. g. IEP and transcript data). (2) Technical information and resources needed to access the data. (3) Documentation of the Individual Education Programs (IEP) data and a discussion of the limitations of the data for verification of handicapped persons in the sample. |
