| Abstract: | This report is intended to serve as a companion to the "Career Preparation Expansion Act (CPEA) Report," produced by the Maryland Longitudinal Data System (MLDS) Center in collaboration with the Governor's Workforce Development Board. The CPEA Report focused on the workforce outcomes of high school graduates five years after graduation. Not included in that population were individuals who earned a high school diploma following successful completion of either the GED® Testing program or the National External Diploma Program® (NEDP®). This report explores the workforce outcomes of GED® and NEDP® diploma earners five years after receiving the diploma and includes their wages earned and the industry in which they were employed. |
