Delgado Community College prepares students for careers in high-demand industries with associate degree programs, certifications, awards

for technical training, and on the job internships. While not all graduates go on to work in the field in which they train, this analysis assumed

that recent Delgado graduates employed in the metro area work in occupations related to their field of study. Given the job vacancies in each

field recorded by the Louisiana Workforce Commission in their most recent survey, it is unlikely that qualified candidates would be forced to

find work outside of their field of study.

The Value of a DelgaDo eDucaTion

Taken together, Delgado students from the past five

graduating classes will earn an estimated $107 million more in

2010 than they would have without the skills and credentials

they earned at Delgado. The job prospects and average

wages for those with associate’s degrees and technical

training are significantly greater than workers with only a high

school education.

This analysis incorporates the unemployment rate,

average compensation by occupation, and the migration

of some Delgado graduates to other metropolitan areas.

It is estimated that these recent Delgado graduates fill

approximately 9,000 jobs across the metropolitan area.

Again, these graduates earn $107 million more than they

would have in the jobs they would have likely taken without

a Delgado education. As Delgado graduates spend these

additional wages on goods and services in the region, they

cycle through the local economy, generating an additional

$93 million in indirect economic activity in 2010.

The Value of WoRKfoRce DeVeloPMenT anD ShoRT-TeRM Technical TRaining

The Delgado Technical Division and Workforce

Development and Education unit provide a variety of

training options, ranging from basic business software

training, to maritime safety and firefighting, to skilled trade

training. Since 2005, the Delgado Technical Division and

Workforce Development programs have together provided

the equivalent of on-the-job training for over 60,000

trainees. Part of Delgado’s Workforce Development unit

includes programs qualifying under the State of Louisiana

Incumbent Worker Training, which subsidizes training for

existing workers in order to advance their skills, save jobs,

and make Louisiana firms more productive.

Delgado recently completed a random survey of 500 recent

Delgado graduates (those who completed their studies

in the last 5 years) in an effort to validate some of the

assumptions that were made in this analysis of Delgado’s

impact. The findings were

More than 90% of Delgado graduates are employed •

- 80% of those graduates work in professions

related to their Delgado Education

40% of Delgado graduates have continued their •

education

- Likely leading to more job opportunities and even

higher wages

Over 20% of recent Delgado graduates have obtained a •

Bachelor’s Degree or greater

- 3/4 of those hold higher degrees in the same field

as their Delgado major

Of those responding, approximately 60% currently earn •

over $40,000 per year

- These recent workforce entrants likely have

significant potential for future earnings growth
