PHOENIX , April 22,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal
Technical Institute (UTI) and its network of UTI and
MIAT campuses nationwide1 will be celebrating
Skilled Trades Day on Wednesday, May
4, by opening its doors to the community, and showing
prospective students the career opportunities available to
graduates who've trained in the skilled trades.
The "Open Doors" event will simultaneously be held on most of
UTI's campuses and online, making it accessible to anyone
interested in learning more about UTI's training programs,
including automotive, diesel, motorcycle and marine technician
training, welding, and CNC machining. Through its recent
acquisition of MIAT College of Technology in Canton, Mich. and Houston, Texas, training is also available in
aerospace maintenance, robotics and automation, HVAC, energy
technology and wind power and industrial maintenance. Participating
UTI and MIAT campuses will be open to the public from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m local time.
UTI campuses are also teaming up with local automotive
dealerships, manufacturers and other industry partners to showcase
the need for highly-skilled trades professionals.
"The Open Doors Event' is the largest event of its kind that UTI
has hosted, and we're expecting thousands of guests to join us on
May 4," said UTI EVP of Campus
Operations, Sherrell Smith. "We are
extremely thankful to our employment and industry partners for
taking the time to help us emphasize the role these new students
can have in vital industries, and the hiring incentives they may
offer, such as tuition reimbursement. With more than 146,000
combined job openings[2] in the automotive, diesel and welding
industries projected annually through 2030, now is the time to
introduce students to the educational experience UTI can provide,
and training programs that can be completed in as little as 36
weeks."
Additionally, participating campuses will provide their own
unique live demonstrations and hands-on experiences in their
state-of-the-industry labs, such as automotive dynamometer runs and
