Universal Technical Institute, Inc. (UTI) is a private for-profit system of technical colleges in the United States. It was established in 1965 by Robert Sweet.

History

[edit]

UTI was founded in 1965 by Robert Sweet to provide career-focused technical training for the transportation industry.[1] The company expanded over the following decades with new programs and campuses, and in 1980 began offering continuing education and training for corporate clients.

In 1998, UTI acquired Clinton Harley Corporation and Clinton Education Group, Inc., which operated Motorcycle Mechanics Institute and Marine Mechanics Institute.[2]

UTI has continued to grow through acquisitions. In 2021, UTI acquired MIAT College of Technology, a technical school offering programs in aviation, energy and manufacturing.[3] The acquisition of Concorde Career Colleges followed in 2022.[4]

Academics

[edit]

Each UTI campus is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC).[5]
