Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College

Northeast Wisconsin Technical College's Allied Health certificate sits solidly at the national median but trails most Wisconsin alternatives. While graduates earn $46,000 in their first year—right in line with national norms—they're actually earning less than the typical Wisconsin program ($47,741), and significantly behind top in-state options like Gateway Technical College ($68,753) or Waukesha County Technical College ($61,934). For a program in a state with strong allied health opportunities, landing in the 40th percentile among Wisconsin peers is underwhelming.

The modest debt load of $12,136 keeps this program accessible, translating to a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.26. That's a real advantage for students who need immediate workforce entry without financial strain. However, the flat earnings trajectory—essentially no growth between year one and year four—suggests limited advancement potential within this credential's career paths.

For parents seeking an affordable entry point into allied health careers, this certificate won't burden your child with debt. But if they're serious about the field, it's worth comparing costs and outcomes at Gateway or Madison Area Technical College, where graduates earn 50% more within four years of completion. This works as a quick credential for immediate employment, but don't expect significant earning growth without additional training.
