Outcomes Overview
Career Technical Institute graduates face a challenging financial reality after completing their programs. With median debt of $7,917 and median earnings of $30,227 ten years out, graduates carry a debt-to-earnings ratio of 26 percent. Monthly loan payments of $84 consume about 3.3 percent of typical graduate income. The school serves primarily Black women seeking healthcare and business certifications in DC's competitive job market. While 89.2 percent of graduates find employment, the concerning loan repayment rate of just 18 percent suggests many struggle with their obligations. Starting salaries around $22,000 barely exceed poverty wages in expensive Washington DC. This represents a weak return on investment for career-focused education.
