Outcomes Overview
Lincoln Technical Institute graduates enter a challenging financial landscape despite strong job placement. The 95% employment rate demonstrates the school's industry connections in automotive, healthcare, and skilled trades. However, graduates carry a median debt of $11,250 while earning $38,683 ten years out, creating a manageable debt-to-income ratio of 29%. Monthly loan payments of $119 consume just 3.7% of typical graduate income. Only 36.64% of borrowers successfully repay their loans on schedule. Most graduates find work as automotive technicians, medical assistants, and HVAC specialists in the Lehigh Valley's manufacturing corridor. The relatively low debt burden and strong employment outcomes in stable blue-collar careers make this an average return on investment for students seeking immediate workforce entry.
