I'm leaning towards attending a trade school after graduation, but job placement is really important to me. Can someone suggest trade schools with strong job placement rates?
Sure! One institution that comes to mind is State Technical College of Missouri. According to the data, they have an impressive job placement rate - over 99% of their graduates found employment or continued their education within 6 months of graduation.
Another school worth considering is WyoTech. They offer programs in automotive, diesel, and collision/refinishing and they have positive job placement rates. Their website states that 4 out of 5 WyoTech graduates find employment in their field of study.
Minnesota State College Southeast is also renowned for its placement rate, particularly for its programs in musical instrument repair. In the 2018-2019 academic year, this program had an impressive 100% job placement rate. Additionally, they have strong job placement in their programs for Automotive and Truck Technology, and Health programs.
While these are just a few examples, researching job placement rates for specific programs at schools you're interested in will give you a better idea of their success. It's important to look at schools that offer the program you're interested in and check their placement rates specifically, because even within the same institution, different programs might vary significantly in placement success. But all in all, focusing on job placement rates when making your decision is a wise move as it speaks volumes about the quality of the education and the level of support provided by the school in terms of finding employment post-graduation.
