"A Look At LRTC's Graduates
Five Years Later"

by: Dr. Donald C. Cannan, Director

As Part of our accountability standards, LRTC conducts one, three, and five year follow-ups on all our graduates.  The five-year follow-up is considered the most important one because graduates are usually "settled in" to something by then.   Most have completed college, internships, military duty, and/or a combination of these activities.  I am proud to report to you our five-year follow-ups for LRTC's graduating classes of 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 four year compilation.

  • on average 70% of the graduates were contacted
  • 51% have earned college degrees (22% 2-year and 29% 4-year degrees)
  • 72% are working full-time in their related trade area
  • 10% part-time employment and/or college
  • 10% are in the military
  • 3% homemakers

The fact that 51% of our graduates completed college and the fact that an astonishing 72% are working in their trade area is a testimonial to LRTC's student learning experiences.  There are many people who question whether sophomores in high school are ready to make decisions about vocational technical training...my answer to them is yes...not only do these sophomores make those decisions but they succeed with their plans.   These five-year follow-ups serve to validate this. Vocational/technical education in Lewiston has become a vital part of this area's secondary education experiences.
