Training and technology statistical report, October 1979-September 1980
A total of 839 trainees were enrolled at TAT during the 1979 to 1980 training year. Section One of this statistical report includes information on only those 613 trainees who exited training between October 1, 1979, and September 30, 1980. Demographic, educational, and employment data on the 613 exiting trainees - graduates and nongraduates - are summarized. There were 478 graduates (78% of concluding trainees), of whom 459 were available for placement. Profile summaries of graduates and nongraduates are tabulated. Of the 459 available for placement, 432 were placed in jobs with beginning wages averaging $6.34 per hour. The estimated annual income for those who were placed, assuming 2080 h/y, was $13,187. The majority of graduates, 85.8%, were unemployed at the time they entered TAT. The remainder, 14.2% of graduates, reported wages averaging $3.62 per hour at entry to training. Projected on an annual basis, those graduates employed at entry earned $7529. Compared to the average starting wage of placed TAT trainees on their first jobs after graduation, $13,187, their increased earnings were $5658 or a 75% increase after training. During the training year there were 135 trainees who did not graduate. Exit information on these nongraduates is presented. In addition to industrial skills training, TAT offers trainees who do not have a high school diploma or its equivalent the opportunity to work on the General Education Development (GED) by studying at TAT. Thirty-five trainees received their GED certification during the 1979 to 1980 training year. Supplementary statistical data on TAT enrollments, training and placement from 1966 to 1980 is provided.
