摘要

尽管生活满意度与教育之间存在着重要关系,但人们对生活满意度与培训和学徒计划背景下的非正式学习之间的联系却知之甚少。本文研究了 LaunchCode 计划--一个新颖的 STEM 培训和学徒计划--对参与者生活满意度和乐观情绪的影响。我们还探讨了 STEM 就业和收入的中介作用,以及参与者受教育程度的调节作用。我们发现,同时完成培训课程和学徒计划的学员的生活满意度和乐观度都很高。此外,我们还发现,在完成学徒培训的学员中,STEM 就业对计划参与和当前生活满意度以及乐观情绪之间的关系具有重要的调节作用。最后,我们发现个人的教育水平对项目完成与找到 STEM 工作之间的关系有明显的调节作用,例如,拥有大学学位的参与者更有可能仅通过课程学习获得 STEM 就业。我们的研究结果凸显了学徒制在提高生活满意度和乐观程度方面的重要性,以及 STEM 就业在解释学徒制对生活满意度和乐观程度的显著影响方面的重要性。这些研究结果表明,人们的职业比他们的收入更重要。然而,虽然学徒制可以为进入劳动力市场提供另一条途径,但在没有学徒制的情况下,教育仍可促进与 STEM 就业的联系。

Can training and apprentice programs in STEM increase worker life satisfaction and optimism?
Despite the significant relationship between life satisfaction and education, less is known about the connection between life satisfaction and informal learning in the context of training and apprenticeship programs. This paper examines the influence of the LaunchCode program, a novel training and apprentice program in STEM, on participant’s life satisfaction and optimism. We also explore mediating roles of STEM employment and earnings, as well as moderating role of participants’ educational attainment levels. We find high life satisfaction and optimism among those who completed both the training course and the apprenticeship component. In addition, we find a significant mediation effect of STEM employment on the relationships between program participation and current life satisfaction, as well as optimism, among the apprenticeship completers. Finally, we find a significant moderation effect of one’s education level on the relationship between program completion and finding a STEM job, such that participants with a college degree are more likely to secure STEM employment through coursework alone. Our findings highlight the significance of apprenticeships in increasing life satisfaction and optimism, as well as the importance of STEM employment in explaining the significant effect of apprenticeships on life satisfaction and optimism. These findings suggest that what people do for a living is more important than how much they earn. However, while apprenticeships may offer an alternative route to the labor market, education may still facilitate connections to STEM employment in the absence of an apprenticeship.
