Outcomes Overview
Triangle Tech graduates enter skilled trades with strong earning potential immediately after completing their programs. The median starting salary of $39,395 rises to $45,538 within a decade, while graduates carry just $12,000 in median debt. Monthly loan payments of $127 represent roughly 3.9% of typical starting income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 97.8% employment rate reflects high demand for welders, HVAC technicians, and carpenters in Pennsylvania's industrial economy. Most graduates find work in manufacturing, construction, and facility maintenance sectors where technical certifications command premium wages. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.26 compares favorably to four-year institutions, where ratios often exceed 1.0. This represents a strong return on investment for students seeking immediate entry into stable, well-paying trades.
