Abstract
Abstract This paper argues that public and proprietary, postsecondary occupational programs differ on an important dimension: intensity of occupational training, that is, the proportion of the curriculum devoted to providing job-specific skills. The study examined the labor market implications of matriculating in programs differing in intensity of occupational training. The compensation received by the graduates from the occupationally less intensive community college programs grew at a significantly faster rate relative to the income of the alumni from the more intensive proprietary schools. Only minor differences existed, however, between the subsamples with respect to the other variables used to examine their labor market experiences.
