Universal Technical Institute has opened a new state-of-the-industry campus in Lisle, Ill., replacing its Glendale Heights, Ill., campus.
“We are the market leader because we act upon the needs of our industry customers, who express a high demand for qualified technicians across the Midwest,” said Julie Mueller, campus president of UTI-Lisle. “As such, the campus and curriculum reflect changes within the industry and in the way we educate our students. For instance, we dramatically increased the self-directed computer learning lab space to reflect the ongoing nature of how students best learn and study.”
Universal Technical Institute, which provides post-secondary education for those seeking careers in professional automotive, diesel, collision repair, and more, has partnered with several automakers to create its curriculum tailored to manufacturer’s standards. Once students finish a core program, they can enroll in one of UTI’s vehicle manufacturer-specific advanced training programs to obtain additional industry certifications, the college said.
“The layout of the Lisle facility will help us demonstrate to students in our core programs the value and quality of our manufacturer-specific training,” says Brian Gallagher, education director of UTI-Lisle. “Every day, students will see their peers earning sought-after industry credentials in our manufacturer labs. The layout and design of the campus reinforces the importance of mastering the technical skills needed for our students to be ready to work upon graduation.”
UTI has 11 regional campuses.
