UTI-San Antonio&#8217;s programs will help prepare graduates for the demands of the ever-evolving workforce.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Universal Technical Institute has a long history of working with Texas&#8217;s employers to support their talent pipelines. The company now has seven campuses in the state across its two brands of UTI and Concorde Career Colleges.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>UTI-San Antonio opened this spring to stronger-than-expected demand, with new student starts at approximately 25 percent ahead of the launch model. The campus, which will serve up to 800 students at scale, is the company&#8217;s first campus dedicated exclusively to the skilled trades, with programs in aviation, welding, HVACR, electrical, industrial maintenance, robotics and wind energy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;San Antonio was a natural choice for this expansion,&#8221; said Dr. Chris Finn, UTI-San Antonio Campus President. &#8220;The region has a strong workforce, a thriving economy and employers who recognize the value of skilled trades education. We are proud to provide students with industry-aligned training that helps prepare them for rewarding careers while supporting local workforce needs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>About Universal<\/b><b> Technical Institute, Inc. <\/b><br class=\"dnr\"\/>Founded in 1965, Universal Technical Institute, Inc.
