PHOENIX and DALLAS, Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Technical Institute, Inc., a national leader in workforce education programs, continues to successfully execute its North Star strategy to address America's skilled labor shortage.  The company today announced a significant expansion of the Dallas campus of its UTI division, which offers transportation, skilled trades, electrical and energy training programs.

The expanded UTI-Dallas campus will serve nearly 1,000 additional students at scale and add programs in Airframe and Powerplant; HVACR Technician; Electrical, Electronics and Industrial Technology; Electrical and Industrial Maintenance Technology; Electrical, Robotics and Automation Technology; and Electrical and Wind Turbine Technology, pending all regulatory approvals. The Dallas campus, which opened in 2010, currently serves nearly 1,400 students and offers programs in Automotive Technology; Diesel and Industrial Technology; and Welding Technology.

"There is incredible demand for workforce training programs—employers are seeking to quickly fill their talent pipelines, while more students are considering alternatives to traditional college that offer meaningful careers," said Todd Hitchcock, Corporate Chief Operating Officer, Universal Technical Institute, Inc. "We are addressing the nation's worker shortages by partnering with industry to increase access to our programs that are widely recognized for their strong student outcomes and employer satisfaction."

Universal Technical Institute's multi-year North Star strategy includes the core tenets of growth, diversification and optimization.  The company has committed to opening two new campuses annually between 2026 and 2029; launching new programs at existing campus locations; and enhancing its operations to make the most efficient use of resources.

The expanded UTI-Dallas will feature a second building near the current campus in Irving. The new, state-of-the-art, 30,000-square-foot facility is expected to open in early 2026 at 1350 Lakeshore Drive in Coppel.  

UTI Division President Tracy Lorenz stated, "Dallas is a dynamic, fast-growing region with strong demand for skilled collar professionals.  We look forward to working with the area's employers on their workforce needs as we contribute further to the local economy."  

The UTI-Dallas expansion continues Universal Technical Institute's investment in Texas. Between UTI and the company's healthcare division, Concorde Career Colleges, there are six campuses statewide: UTI-Austin, UTI-Dallas, UTI Houston, Concorde-Dallas, Concorde-Grand Prairie, and Concorde-San Antonio.  In addition, Universal Technical Institute recently announced UTI-San Antonio, a campus that will be dedicated solely to the skilled trades when it opens in 2026.
