About this school
International Union of Operating Engineers: Local 825 is a career-training campus in Dayton, New Jersey, accredited by the Council on Occupational Education. Federal financial aid such as FAFSA or Pell Grants cannot be used at this campus, since it is not designated as a Title IV institution. The campus's program family is heavy-equipment training, preparing students for work operating cranes, bulldozers, excavators, and similar machinery used in construction and infrastructure trades.
Specific outcome and cost figures for this campus are not reported for this campus in federal data. This includes completion rate compared to the state average, median debt carried by graduates, median earnings ten years after entry, annual cost of attendance, and the share of students receiving Pell Grants. Because the program is not Title IV eligible, it does not appear in the same federal reporting systems that track many degree-granting schools, so prospective students should not assume any of these figures without confirming directly with the school.
This type of program setting, a union-affiliated heavy-equipment training campus, often suits people already working in or entering the construction trades, including adult career changers looking for hands-on training outside a traditional degree structure. Because so little federal outcome data exists for this listing, anyone considering enrollment should verify accreditation status directly with the Council on Occupational Education and check the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard for any additional reporting. Contacting the school directly by phone is the most reliable way to get current details on program length, cost, and enrollment requirements.
