Outcomes Overview
Los Angeles Trade Technical College graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $10,500 and monthly loan payments of $111. This represents just 3.8% of their typical monthly income based on median earnings of $35,233 ten years after graduation. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.30 sits well below the federal benchmark of 0.40 for manageable student debt. Graduates typically find work in automotive repair shops, restaurant kitchens, fashion studios, and skilled trades where hands-on technical training matters more than four-year degrees. With an employment rate of 81.4% and relatively low debt burdens, the financial picture looks solid for most students who complete their programs. This represents a strong return on investment for career-focused technical training.
