Outcomes Overview
Fortis College-Centerville graduates face a challenging financial reality despite strong job placement. The 95.5% employment rate shows employers value the career training, but median debt of $13,000 creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 37% against first-year earnings of $34,726. Monthly loan payments of $138 consume about 4.8% of gross income, which is manageable compared to four-year college graduates who often pay 10-15%. Most graduates enter healthcare support roles and skilled trades where steady demand exists in the Dayton area. However, the 20% loan repayment rate signals many struggle financially after graduation. While job prospects look solid, the combination of modest wages and persistent debt challenges makes this a weak return on investment.
