Lakeshore Technical College graduates continue reporting high wages and high employment rates after graduation.
The college follows up with graduates six months to a year after graduation to gather employment information it can report back to the community.
The survey of 2020-2021 academic year graduates showed the median annual salary for associate degree graduates was $54,048.
That is a 3.95% increase over 2019-2020 graduates.
Reporting the highest salaries were nursing and radiography program graduates, at $60,315 and $57,196, respectively. Both salaries increased more than 11% from the previous year.
Also, 93 percent of graduates reported obtaining employment.
Among those graduates, 97% found employment in Wisconsin and 74% found employment in the Lakeshore area.
LTC President Dr. Paul Carlson said that these statistics show “the community we are living our mission to provide quality education for in-demand careers.”
