MIAT-Canton, UTI-Rancho Cucamonga and
UTI-Lisle now have certification embedded in course
curriculum.
PHOENIX, April 9,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal
Technical Institute, the transportation, skilled trades and
energy education division of Universal
Technical Institute, Inc. today announced that its MIAT
College of Technology-Canton (Mich.), UTI-Rancho Cucamonga
(Calif.), and UTI-Lisle (Ill.) campuses are the first in
the United States to earn
Certified Training Center status from the Global Wind Organisation
(GWO). GWO's Basic Safety Training certification is now embedded in
the three campuses' Wind Turbine Technician programs.
The certification was achieved as part of an agreement with 3t
(previously 3t Energy Group) that was announced in 2023.
GWO is a non-profit body founded by wind turbine manufacturers and
owners that aims to achieve an injury-free work environment. The
organization focuses on creating common international standards for
safety training and emergency procedures.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the job
outlook for wind turbine technicians is growing much faster
than the average for all occupations, with employment demand
projected to grow 45% from 2022 to 20321.
"The certification of our MIAT-Canton, UTI-Rancho Cucamonga, and
UTI-Lisle campuses demonstrates our team's commitment to being a
leader in wind energy training," said UTI Division President
Tracy Lorenz. "We look forward to
continuing our successful relationship with 3t to achieve GWO
training center certification at our other campuses."
3t, previously 3t Energy Group until a recent re-brand, is a
training and learning technology powerhouse for the global energy
industry, working with GWO to develop industry-accredited training
programs and facilities worldwide. 3t was instrumental to the
project, helping design the GWO curriculum, evaluating the
MIAT-Canton, UTI-Lisle and UTI-Rancho Cucamonga campuses, and
training its instructors.
"Wind turbine maintenance is an in-demand, challenging job. It
is important for technicians to have the proper occupational health
and safety training to mitigate risks plus the knowledge, skills,
and confidence to respond in an emergency appropriately," said
Geoff Croft, global head of GWO
training and development at 3t. "I'm thrilled to have partnered
with UTI to help the Canton campus achieve GWO certification and
put UTI on the path to becoming a leading provider of GWO and wind
industry training courses across the U.S."
