Site Map Postsecondary Education As A Critical Step toward Meaningful Employment: Vocational Rehabilitation's Role by Dana Scott Gilmore, Jennifer Bose, and Debra Hart Introduction Postsecondary education, which can be acquired in many different settings today, opens up a world of opportunities for high school graduates. Although the nature of the transition from secondary education to work or further education has been described as chaotic (National Institute on Postsecondary Education, 2000) and there is great variation and a general increase in the cost of educational programs (National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES), 2000), labor force trends and the increased enrollment in postsecondary education demonstrate that students see further education as an important step toward career success. The data for this brief have been compiled from the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) national data collection system, the RSA-911 database. This database contains demographic and employment information on each individual whose case was closed by state VR agencies each year (referred to as closures), across the nation. Closures can be separated into 3 general categories: 1. The person attained a rehabilitation goal, successful closure/rehabilitated. This does not have to be an employment-related goal. Categories for work status are: competitive labor market, extended employment (formerly sheltered workshop), self-employed, business enterprise program, homemaker, and unpaid family worker.
