Welcome to the Web home of the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2)!
NLTS2 Database Trainings will be available in on-line modules.
The National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER), Institute of
Education Sciences (IES) and SRI developed on-line training modules related to using NLTS2 data.
NLTS2 database and documentation are now available from IES.
NLTS2:
- Was funded by the U.S. Department of Education and documents the experiences of a national sample of students who were 13 to 16 years of age in 2000 as they moved from secondary school into adult roles.
- Focused on a wide range of important topics, such as high school coursework, extracurricular activities, academic performance, postsecondary education and training, employment, independent living, and community participation.
- Produced information of interest to many audiences, including state and local education agencies, the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Department of Education, parents, teachers, researchers, advocates, and policy-makers.
Data collection is completed.
