Graduation and Employment Rates

Accredited Career and Technical Schools are held to high standards of graduation and placement. We calculate on-time program completion and placement according to the formula established by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). The ACCSC sets as a benchmark a minimum of 70% training related employment for each program each year.

MTTI’s goal is education for employment. We count as employed or “placed” only those graduates whose employment can be verified in occupations related to the program of study. We understand the value of continuing education after completing a program at MTTI, and also recognize there are many reasons that a graduate might not go into program-related employment directly after school. However, we do not count as placed those graduates who:

Pursue additional education at another school (and do not work)*
Enter the military (unless they accept program-related work within the military)*
Are unable to work while ill or injured*
Remain in or return to their past (non-related) jobs
Move and/or change contact information and can not be reached to obtain their employment information
Are not seeking employment while handling special family needs
Choose (for other reasons) not to obtain employment at this time

*We can remove someone from the total number of graduates after obtaining (where possible) specific documentation (e.g., death certificate, physician's note confirming permanent or long-term disability, documentation of military service, proof of continuing education).

The placement rate for the Marine Service Technician program is 67%* for program year 2008-2009 and 86% for program year 2009-2010. The placement rate for new graduating class for program year 2010-2011 is 90% (9 out of 10 people employed in training related positions). (*Low placement during 2008-2009 was related to the unusually small class size of 5 people.)
Of 7 graduates, 6 were hired in training-related positions. The placement rate for the Marine Service Technician program for the program year 2009-2010 is 86%.

We strive to meet and exceed ACCSC's benchmark of 70% training related placement for every program each year. However, the actual percentage of graduates employed (in both training related and non-related occupations) may be higher than training related placement alone. We assist each graduate for as long as they are interested in and willing to seek employment; therefore the placement numbers and percentages are not necessarily final. As graduates continue to seek work and enter into employment, placement percentages can increase.

MTTI is proud of our many successfully employed graduates. To learn how we prepare students for successful employment, please see the Marine Service Technician program page and also read our graduates’ Success Stories.

On-time Completion Rate

The on-time completion rate is the number of students who completed the program within the normal time during the most recent program year (for which information is available). There may be additional students that successfully graduated after taking a Leave-of-Absence (LOA) because they had documented medical issues or a death in the family, etc.. There may also be additional students who transferred to a part-time program and subsequently graduated. These graduates are not figured into the on-time graduation rate.

The on-time completion rate for this program during 2009-2010 is 100%. The total graduation rate for this program during 2009-2010 is 60%*. (The percentage rate reflects the small enrollment of five people, three of whom graduated.)
The on-time completion rate for this program during 2009-2010 is 100%. The total graduation rate for this program during 2009-2010 is 88%. This means that of those who completed the program, everyone graduated on time.
