NORC will conduct a pilot tracer study of Grade 12 graduates for the World Bank,  to gather information on how well the education system has prepared them for post- secondary education, the workplace, and life after school.  The study will focus on issues of wage employment, self-employment, job search and unemployment; pursuit of further education and training; and migration. 

In August and September of 2007, NORC will collect baseline data via a survey with a sample of 500 students graduating from secondary school. A follow-on round of data collection is scheduled for October of 2008.
