Outcomes Overview
Graduates carry a median debt of $10,674, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 28% against their $38,317 median salary after 10 years. Monthly loan payments of $113 consume only 3.5% of typical graduate income. The 92.5% employment rate reflects strong demand for skilled trades workers in California's Central Valley. However, the 30.16% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle with payments despite relatively low debt loads. Most enter construction, automotive repair, and industrial maintenance fields where demand consistently outpaces supply. The combination of low debt burden, high employment rates, and stable blue-collar wages creates a strong return on investment for students committed to trades careers.
