Tracking Non-traditional Gender Employment and Instructional Programs in California Chuck Wiseley Data Quality Institute Washington, DC February 2006
Issues in Nontraditional Gender Measures • 4P1 Participation • Participants vs. Concentrators • 4P2 Completions • Options proposed • Crosswalks – Occupations to Instruction February 2006
4P1 Nontraditional Participation • California Current • NT Participants (Enrolled in any NT CTE course) • California Past 2000-2002 • NT Concentrators (In NT Programs) • Proposed – In Programs leading to NT Occ… • NT Participants (Enrolled in any NT CTE course) • NT Concentrators (Threshold) • Issues February 2006
4P1 Issues • NT Participants • Includes students in introductory courses • in 2004-05 • 38% of students taking an intro CTE course took 2+ • 17% took 2+ in different CIPs • 81% of those in an intro course in fall 04 took only intro courses in 04-05 • California Past 2000-2002 • NT Concentrators (2001) • 23.85% of Concentrators (47,926) in NT Programs • NT Participants (2002) • 38.27% of Participants (826,500) in NT Programs • NT Completers (2002) • 24.37% of Completers (34,857) in NT Programs February 2006
CCC Recommendation • Vote to change the current 4P1 to Concentrators February 2006
4P2 Nontraditional Completion • Current • NT Completers / All Completers in NT Programs • Is Not one of the options on ballot • Proposed • NT Completers / NT Concentrators or NT Participants • NT Concentrators / NT Participants • NT Completers / NT Graduates February 2006
Current 4P2 • Relationship • NT gender to Traditional gender (TG) Completers in NT Programs • Comparison group TG is students in the same classes • Used to evaluate internal barriers • Compare 4P1 rate with 4P2 rate (losing NT faster than TG) • 40% of NT completed (20/50) – 53% of TG (80/150) • Options 1, 2, & 4 are versions of the NT calculation (40%) NT TG February 2006
Proposed 4P2 • Relationship (in NT Programs) • NT Completers to • Nontraditional gender Participants (option 1) • NT Concentrators (option 2) • NT Participants to Concentrators (option 3) • NT Graduates to NT Concentrators (option 4) • Used to evaluate internal barriers • Standalone rate (losing NT students at each step in process) • 40% of NT completed (20/50) – Options 1, 2, & 4 versions = 2P1 for NT • Comparison groups • NT students within the two measures (only if aligned as in current measure) • Participant – Concentrator – Completer • Completers in All Programs • Can NOT compare to Traditional Gender students in NT Programs February 2006
Proposed 4P2 – How evaluation looks • California 2005 actual (PS) From CAR • 75.34% NT Completers to NT Concentrators (Options 2 & 4 versions = 2P1 for NT) • This is what we would see in proposed options • 73.42% All Completers (2P1 All) • Conclusion - doing better than average completion • 36.71% NT Participation (4P1 - participants) • What we would NOT see • 23.52% NT Completions (current 4P2) • Conclusion – NT participants doing worse than TG in NT programs • Conversion rates from Participant to Completer • 02.60% NT Completers to NT Participants (4P2,N / 4P1,N) • 04.91% TG Completers to TG Participants (4P2,D-N / 4P1,D-N *D-N=denom - numer) • We Should Conclude – NT students are moving from participant to completer at about half the rate of TG in NT Programs February 2006
CCC Recommendation Remembering the ease of comparison of 38% participants to 23% concentrators to 24% completion (from the 2002 data): • Add the current 4P2 as an option • Vote for it February 2006
Crosswalks Past Practice – Future Prospects • Enrollments • Employment • Crosswalks • Employment • Local, Statewide, National • Instructional Program Areas (CIP) • Instructional Programs • Participants / Concentrators • Completion • Placement February 2006
Employment • National Crosswalk from mid 1990s • Four digit CIP • California Crosswalk (Six digit) • Local Conditions • Instructional Program Assignment • Non-relevant OES and SOC relationships • Contradictory gender balance patterns • One of many occupations has a gender imbalance February 2006
Crosswalk • Occupation • Gender • Number employed • Instructional Program Leading to Employment • Instructional Program Area (six digit CIP) February 2006
Problems to resolve • Local vs. State vs. National • Multiple occupations within a program • Civil & Construction Management Technician • CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS (male dominated) • COST ESTIMATORS (female dominated) • Multiple Programs within Program Area • Culinary Program Area • Chef (Nontraditional for females) • Baking Chefs (nontraditional for Males) February 2006
How it looks – 1990 Census decisions • Civil & Construction Management Technician • Do we train for both occupations? • Is the program area gender balanced? February 2006
NAPE to the Rescue 2006 • National Crosswalk at Six digit CIP • http://www.napequity.org/nape_publications.htm • 2004 Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Household Data Annual Averages • Four Contradictory gender patterns • Non-relevant OES and SOC relationships? • Decision Process? February 2006
How it looks – 2006 decisions • Agricultural/Farm Supplies Retailing & Wholesaling (1st group) • Do we train for both occupations? • Selling Skills & Sales Operations February 2006
Sample table from 1990 census February 2006
Instructional Programs • Multiple Programs within Program Area • Participants / Concentrators • Completion • Relationships • Participants to Concentrators • Concentrators to Completers • Placement February 2006
