NWTC Graduate Follow-Up

Every year, NWTC contacts graduates to verify employment. We contact graduates from the most recent year, from five years ago and from 10 years ago. The Graduate Follow-Up Report is a compilation of those results, showing the pay rates and job placement for graduates of each program.
