Atlanta is
second of three new campuses planned in 2026, joining previously
announced Concorde healthcare campus in Florida
PHOENIX, Feb. 4, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- Universal Technical
Institute, Inc., a leading workforce solutions provider,
today announced Atlanta as the
location of its next UTI division campus, continuing the company's
execution of its ambitious North Star strategy to close the
skilled workforce gap in America.
The core tenets of the North Star strategy—growth,
diversification and optimization—are the foundation for initiatives
across the company's two divisions of UTI, which offers
transportation, skilled trades and energy education; and Concorde
Career Colleges, which specializes in the dental, nursing and
allied health professions.
The new UTI-Atlanta campus is the second of three new planned
campuses, joining the previously announced Concorde-Heartland
Dental co-branded campus for dental hygiene and dental
assisting programs. Pending regulatory approvals, the
UTI-Atlanta campus will open in 2026, bringing the total number of
UTI campuses nationwide to 16.
"Our North Star strategy is designed to reach more students with
our in-demand programs and equip the next generation of skilled
collar workers in America," said Todd
Hitchcock, EVP and Chief Strategy & Transformation
Officer, Universal Technical Institute,
Inc. "Atlanta, with its dynamic
economy and location in the south, is an ideal choice for this new
UTI campus and we look forward to working with the region's leaders
to support their workforce needs."
UTI Division President Tracy
Lorenz added, "By establishing a campus in Atlanta, individuals in the Southeast will be
able to pursue hands-on, STEM-centric careers at a UTI closer to
home. This connection between educational pathways and career
aspirations will help address workforce shortages and support the
region's residents in seeking impactful, essential careers."
UTI-Atlanta will be located at 7100 Highlands Parkway SE in
Smyrna. The 150,000 square foot
facility will be a fully optimized campus with a comprehensive set
of program offerings. The location and programs are subject to
state, accreditor and U.S. Department of Education approval and
student recruitment will not begin until those approvals are
received.
