AB  - Career and Technical Education (CTE) has emerged as a strategy to enhance college and labor market outcomes for all students, yet little is known about its implications for multilingual students classified as English Learners (ML-ELs). Using longitudinal data from Massachusetts, this study provides some of the first evidence on ML-ELs’ CTE participation and its relationship with long-term outcomes. Findings reveal that ML-ELs engage in CTE at lower rates than peers, driven by both inter- and intra-school disparities. We also find a positive association between CTE participation and postsecondary enrollment and earnings, suggesting that CTE may be an effective strategy to support language learners' success beyond high school.
