"It's encouraging to see growth in these competitions and in our 'Summer Ignite' program as we open students' eyes to the demand for skilled workers," continued Lorenz. Grant awards are based on how students do on a written test containing both academic and technical questions. High school seniors are also encouraged to apply for the "American Dream Grant." Participants can earn a grant up to $2,500, with a total of $475,000 available annually to 380 students maximum. A total of over $710,000 in grants was awarded in 2022 through these competitions, which are held on an annual basis. UTI campuses also host high school students for competitions such as Skills USA and the Top Tech Challenge/Auto Tech Challenge, giving them a chance to win tuition grants. But it's also important that we provide prospective students with opportunities to fund their education." "It's critical that we bring programs like this to our campuses, so that we can deliver the trained technicians our employer partners need. "Our free Ignite program introduces a new generation of young students to a UTI education and the fulfilling career opportunities that await in the skilled trades," said UTI Division President Tracy Lorenz. Once completed, participating high school students can test to earn course credit that can be applied if they enroll at UTI, lowering their cost of attendance. The free, three-week program is the same introductory technician course taken by new UTI students. and a leading workforce solutions provider of transportation, skilled trades and energy education programs, is bringing its " Summer Ignite" program back to help high school juniors make critical decisions about their post-secondary educational options.
