Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $48,450 within 10 years, putting their debt-to-earnings ratio at a manageable 25%. Monthly loan payments of $127 represent about 3% of typical graduate income. The 95.3% employment rate reflects strong demand for skilled technicians in automotive, HVAC, and diesel repair. These trades offer stable careers with steady growth prospects in Cleveland's industrial economy. However, only 50.54% of borrowers successfully repay their loans on schedule, suggesting some graduates struggle financially despite high employment rates. The immediate post-graduation earnings of $34,350 can make those first few years challenging. Overall, this represents an average return on investment for students committed to technical careers.
