Placement Report

Ninety-nine percent of Western Dakota Technical College's most recent graduates are working, continuing their education, or are enlisted in the military per the WDTC 2025 Placement Report. There were 276 respondents out of 310 graduates surveyed. [Placement information is derived from graduate surveys, faculty-collected data, placement surveys started six months after graduation, and the South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation. Overall placement rate is figured by: (responding graduates employed, continuing education, or in military service)/(responding graduates who are seeking employment). The number of program graduates are unduplicated by CIP code.]

Average hourly in-field salary is calculated on wages reported by graduates employed in the field only. Wage figures are self-reported or obtained from the South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation and subject to variance. Figures may not include bonuses, overtime, and/or self-employed earnings.
