This report analyzed the current economic and social impact of Emily Griffith Technical College (EGTC) on the Denver region, as measured by student earnings gains. Over the past few academic years, EGTC has served an average of about 7,000 students per year. Of these, about 1,600 are enrolled in non-apprentice CTE courses, 2,700 in the apprenticeship program, and 2,700 in pre-college courses (ESL and GED) or continuing education.

BBC evaluated the economic impact of these educational pathways separately. The impact is measured through 1) The income gains of students completing EGTC courses and 2) The associated secondary impacts of those income gains (e.g. increased consumer spending and induced economic stimulation).
