Avondale,
Ariz., and Long Beach,
Calif., campuses begin nine-month heating, ventilation, air
conditioning and refrigeration technician programs
PHOENIX, April 4,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Technical Institute, Inc., a leading
workforce solutions education provider, continues to execute its
strategy of growth, diversification and optimization with the
launch of additional HVACR programs by its Universal Technical Institute (UTI) division.
Two of the four HVACR program expansions announced last
fall are now enrolling at the UTI-Avondale (Ariz.) and
UTI-Long Beach (Calif.) campuses, with classes planned to begin in
June and July, respectively. Pending regulatory approvals, HVACR
programs will also launch at UTI Bloomfield (N.J.)
and UTI-Sacramento (Calif.), adding to the programs currently
offered at UTI-Austin (Texas), NASCAR Technical Institute
(N.C.), MIAT-Canton (Mich.) and MIAT-Houston.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of
heating, air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics and
installers is projected to grow 6 percent from 2022 to 2032, faster
than the average for all occupations, which underscores the need
for technicians who support the systems that control air quality
and temperature in residential, commercial and industrial
settings.
"The need for trained HVACR technicians is a necessity given the
wide range in extreme temperatures experienced across the country
and the impact on homes and businesses. By leveraging our
existing campus footprint, we are able to quickly expand these
training programs in response to industry demand," said
Tracy Lorenz, president of the UTI
division.
The topics covered in the 9-month program include air handling
and hydronics, AC and DC circuits and components, sheet metal
ductwork, vent system selection and installation, and mechanical
and electronic controls troubleshooting.
