Educational Recycling

Question

I have a researcher interested in educational recycling which is obtaining and additional post secondary credentials at lower to equivalent levels. He is particularly interested in those who have either (a) diplomas or (b) degrees in engineering fields?

Answer

The first thing that came to mind was the National Graduate Survey. Granted the data is fairly dated at this point - the most recent data is from 1995.

I did notice that the questionnaire had a section called Section H. Education after graduation

One of the questions was: HA1
Since your graduation in 1995, did you complete diploma or post-secondary degree since graduation in 1995?

Starting on Page 237 of the PDF document for the Codebook, the relevant information is available
