PITTSBURGH (July 13, 2017) – Triangle Tech, a two-year degree granting technical school with six locations throughout Pennsylvania, was named to the first-ever Forbes Magazine list of top 30 two-year degree trade schools. The inaugural list of the nation’s top 30 trade schools ranks Triangle Tech’s location in Greensburg as number 13 and its Bethlehem location as number 17.
For the first time, Forbes developed a comprehensive ranking of two-year trade schools throughout the U.S. The magazine used the same “return on investment” focus as their popular Top Colleges ranking report. Three critical data points were analyzed, including earnings, affordability and quality.
“Triangle Tech offers students opportunities to earn associates degrees in five program areas that are on the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry’s list of high priority occupations,” said Tim McMahon, president of Triangle Tech “We are proud that a publication as prestigious as Forbes has recognized the quality career-ready education and value we offer to our students. We’re also pleased that the education we provide meets the needs of employers who are searching for highly skilled technicians.”
Triangle Tech has been providing post-secondary technical training for 73 years and has locations in Pittsburgh, Erie, Greensburg, DuBois, Sunbury and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Triangle Tech offers Associate in Specialized Technology Degree Programs in Computer-Aided Drafting and Design Technology; Carpentry and Construction Technology; Welding and Fabrication Technology; Maintenance Electricity and Construction Technology; and Refrigeration, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Technology.
