Career-technical education is a system of life-long learning designed to prepare youth and adults to meet the ever changing demands of the 21st Century workplace and post-secondary education. Career-technical education has evolved greatly since the vocational education days of inception.The purpose of this research was to identify factors influencing the decision of Rossford High School students to choose career-technical education offered at Penta Career Center. Research was conducted using a researcher designed survey; two separate surveys were created, a parent survey and a student survey. The surveys contained both fixed and open-ended questions and were made available to all Rossford High School juniors and their parents through Survey Monkey. The survey results concluded that students are most influenced by parents, friends and teachers. However, the influence from these sources was not of facts, rather, they are individual perceptions; many which are outdated.
