About this school
Schuylkill Technology Center is a public trade and career training campus in Frackville, Pennsylvania. It is accredited by the Pennsylvania State Board of Vocational Education and participates in Title IV federal financial aid, meaning students can use FAFSA, federal loans, and Pell Grants to help pay for their training. The campus's most-awarded programs are LPN / LVN programs, CDL / truck driving schools, and welding schools, reflecting a focus on hands-on, licensure-oriented trades rather than traditional degree tracks.
Federal data show a completion rate of 62.8%, which is near the state average of 66.2% for comparable programs. Graduates who take on debt carry a median of $15,275, and median earnings 10 years after entry are $49,148. Annual cost of attendance is listed at $17,010, and about 39.4% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a meaningful share of the roughly 102 undergraduate students come from lower-income backgrounds. Program-level completer counts (33) suggest a small, focused cohort size typical of a technical center rather than a large institution.
This campus may suit students pursuing short, credential-based training in healthcare, transportation, or skilled trades, particularly those seeking a public, Title IV-eligible option in a distant-town setting. Because specific program lengths and schedules are not reported for this campus in federal data, prospective students—including adult career-changers—should contact the school directly to confirm program duration, format, and licensure requirements.
