Gainful Employment

Posted - June 20, 2011

Beginning July 1, 2011, the US Department of Education began requiring colleges to disclose a variety of information for any financial aid eligible program that “prepares students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation.” The information provided here represents only one year’s data, but will be updated as more statistics become available in the future.

Trinidad State Junior College is committed to providing current and prospective students with the information they need to make informed education and career decisions. We hope this information is helpful to you.

If you have any questions regarding the data provided and what it means to you as a student, please feel free to contact Kerry Gabrielson at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
