Electrical and Power Transmission Installers at Mohave Community College
Associate's Degree
mohave.eduAnalysis
In Arizona's energy infrastructure sector, electrical and power transmission programs have become increasingly vital, but Mohave Community College's outcomes remain unclear due to insufficient graduate data. Based on comparable programs nationally, first-year earnings around $44,700 against estimated debt of $12,000 creates a manageable 0.27 debt-to-earnings ratio—meaning graduates would owe roughly three months of their annual salary. For a two-year technical credential, that's a reasonable financial position if those estimates hold true.
The challenge here is uncertainty. With seven programs across Arizona and none reporting actual outcomes, parents lack the concrete data needed to compare options. National peer programs suggest solid entry points into a field with clear career pathways—power transmission work typically offers union opportunities and steady demand—but whether Mohave's specific training, local employer connections, and job placement support match those national averages is unknown. The estimated figures provide a baseline expectation, not a guarantee.
Given the small program size that triggered data suppression, contact the college directly about job placement rates, employer partnerships with Arizona Public Service or Salt River Project, and apprenticeship pathways. The financial framework looks workable if the training quality and local employment prospects align with national patterns, but you'll need information beyond these estimates to feel confident about the investment.
