Students in the campus' automotive, diesel,
robotics, industrial maintenance, and welding technician programs
are eligible.
PHOENIX, Aug. 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Technical
Institute-Lisle today announced that Associated has joined their
early employment program. The campus is located outside of
Chicago.
As part of the early employment program, participating employers
may offer 20 to 30 hours of paid work experience, consideration for
full-time employment and reimbursement for education-related
expenses after graduation. Eligibility requirements and conditions
are established by participating employers and are between the
employer and the student. More than 125 employers currently
participate in the program.
Participating students selected by Associated at UTI-Lisle
enrolled in automotive, diesel, robotics, industrial maintenance,
and welding technician programs can work 20-30 paid hours weekly.
Students who join Associated full-time after graduation can
participate in their tuition reimbursement program, which helps
with educational loans up to $20,000
as well as a comprehensive benefits package, training and career
advancement opportunities.
Universal Technical Institute Division President Tracy Lorenz noted, "As we expand our
transportation, skilled trades, and energy education programs,
employers like Associated are finding a pipeline for talent for a
variety of skilled jobs at our campuses, rather than just one or
two as was previously available."
"Historically, our early employment program focused on
automotive and diesel employers in the area," shared Roger Gomez, UTI-Lisle campus president. "With
the expansion of our program offerings, we can better meet the
broader needs of local employers, allowing selected students hired
by Associated to gain valuable experience while completing their
education."
"Partnering with Universal Technical
Institute for their early employment program is an exciting
step forward," said Tim Combs,
Associated's president and chief executive officer. "This
collaboration allows us to tap into a pool of talented and
motivated students, offering them real-world experience and career
opportunities."
