The difficulty for researchers in assessing the effects of vocational education participation on students has impeded accurate assessment of program outcomes. This study therefore sought to develop a course-taking profile of vocational education students in Illinois where participation and completion patterns were examined. The discussion draws conclusions for the four specific objectives which were to: identify existing patterns of course participation; identify differences in participation patterns among subgroups; determine the degree of special populations participation; and refine the definition of a vocational program completer.
