Outcomes Overview
North Central Institute graduates earn a median of $55,027 ten years after completion, placing them ahead of many two-year program graduates. With 90% finding employment, the job placement rate exceeds national averages for similar programs. The school's heavily male enrollment (89%) reflects its focus on trades and technical fields where men traditionally dominate. However, the 45% loan repayment rate signals financial strain for many alumni. Monthly loan payments typically consume about 15-20% of graduate income, which is manageable but not ideal. The $24,033 average debt load requires careful budgeting on a $55,000 salary. For students entering skilled trades, this represents an average return on investment.
