Outcomes Overview
Fortis Institute graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $9,500, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.31 against first-year earnings of $30,224. Monthly loan payments of $101 consume about 4% of gross monthly income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 95.2% employment rate reflects strong job placement in healthcare and skilled trades, where Fortis focuses its career training programs. However, the 29.39% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle with payments despite relatively low debt loads. Five-year earnings climb to $33,712, indicating modest career progression potential. Given the affordable debt burden and high employment rates, this represents an average return on investment for career-focused training.
