Jay Plasman

Jay Plasman studies career and technical education (CTE) in U.S. high schools and community colleges, focusing on how these programs affect student outcomes like graduation, college enrollment, and workforce entry. A notable strand of this work examines how CTE and work-based learning programs serve students with learning disabilities and other special populations, as well as how STEM-focused CTE coursework connects to postsecondary and career pathways. Much of the research uses large-scale education data to evaluate specific policies and programs, such as career center admissions and state assessments.

Publication output has been relatively steady over the last decade with a moderate increase in recent years, peaking at 8 publications in 2024.
