These provider-reported records add named prices, completion and employment context where available. They describe a separate workforce-program cohort and may include non-degree training, so they are not blended into the College Scorecard earnings or DegreeVerdict ROI.
Each point may represent a different federal cohort. A missing bar means the figure was unavailable or suppressed.
