Outcomes

College Scorecard field-of-study results for graduates who received federal aid. Fields are the broader 4-digit program family, so welding and machining share "Precision Metal Working". Earnings are medians for graduates working and not enrolled; cohorts lag several years. Scorecard reports outcomes under the school's federal aid ID, which can combine several branch campuses, so counts can exceed this campus's own graduates.

Field	Credential	Median pay, 1 yr	Median pay, 5 yrs	Median federal debt
Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Technologies/Technicians (47.06)	Associate degree	n/a	$69,637	n/a
Precision Metal Working (48.05)	Undergraduate certificate	n/a	$54,572	n/a
