About This Data

TradeSchoolOutlook analyzes 14 trade and vocational programs at Lake Land College using earnings data from the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard, employment projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2024–2034), and AI resilience research from OpenAI and academic institutions.

The TradeSchoolOutlook Score (0–100) combines four equally weighted factors: graduate earnings, AI resilience, job market size, and return on investment. Each program page includes three scenarios (strong growth, base case, conservative) showing 10-year earnings projections.
