Universal Technical Institute (UTI) and the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) have entered into an agreement for UTI to become the inaugural ASCA Alliance Partner. ASCA and UTI share a strong commitment to helping students realize their passions and find success in fulfilling careers. UTI has direct training partnerships with more than 30 manufacturer bands—such as BMW, Cummins, Ford, Freightliner, GM, Peterbilt, Porsche, Toyota, Volvo and more—and thousands of local employers hire the school's graduates. In addition, many employer locations support UTI students with tuition reimbursement and other incentives, such as signing bonuses, tool allowances and more.
