Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $31,541 within 10 years, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 34% with typical debt loads of $10,769. Monthly loan payments of $114 consume about 4% of gross income for median earners. The 86.9% employment rate reflects strong demand for skilled trades workers in Colorado's growing construction and energy sectors. However, only 30% of borrowers are actively paying down their loans, suggesting many struggle with repayment despite finding work. Most graduates enter automotive repair, HVAC installation, or welding positions where hands-on skills command immediate value. The combination of modest debt loads and steady employment in recession-resistant trades creates an average return on investment.
