Outcomes Overview
CBT Technology Institute graduates enter the workforce with manageable financial burdens despite modest starting salaries. The median debt of $8,550 creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 0.29, well below the national average of 1.0 for career colleges. Monthly loan payments of $91 represent only 3.1% of typical graduate income, leaving room for living expenses. The school's 93.1% employment rate reflects strong demand for skilled technicians in Miami's growing construction and automotive sectors. Graduates primarily work as automotive technicians, HVAC specialists, and diesel mechanics in South Florida's robust service economy. The combination of low debt, high employment rates, and steady demand for technical skills creates a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
