Outcomes Overview
Triangle Tech graduates enter the workforce quickly, with a 97.8% employment rate that reflects strong demand for skilled trades workers. The typical graduate earns $39,395 in their first year, climbing to $45,538 after ten years. With median debt of just $12,000, graduates face manageable monthly payments of $127, representing only 3.9% of their first-year income. This debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.27 sits well below the federal benchmark of 0.30 for concerning debt levels. Most graduates find work as welders, electricians, and automotive technicians in Pennsylvania's manufacturing and construction sectors. The combination of low debt, high employment rates, and steady earnings growth in recession-resistant trades creates a strong return on investment.
