PHOENIX and SAN ANTONIO, April 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Technical Institute, Inc.

The San Antonio campus is one of three campuses the company plans to open in Fiscal 2026, subject to regulatory approvals, across its two operating segments: UTI, which offers transportation, skilled trades and energy education; and Concorde Career Colleges, which specializes in the dental, nursing and allied health professions.

"Skilled trades education builds the foundation for innovation, economic strength and fulfilling career opportunities," said Tracy Lorenz, UTI Division President. "In a world that relies on skilled professionals to keep industries moving, an investment in this training is an investment in the future. We look forward to leveraging our educational expertise and deep industry relationships to support San Antonio's economy."

"This skilled trades campus highlights how we are optimizing our resources to increase access to high-demand programs while minimizing space and capital expenditures," said Todd Hitchcock, Corporate Chief Operating Officer, Universal Technical Institute, Inc. "San Antonio is the ideal city for our investment, given local industry's growing need for skilled workers in the programs this UTI campus will offer. In addition, we have received strong support from public officials and community leaders over the years for our Concorde-San Antonio campus, which has successfully educated thousands of students for healthcare careers since 2010."   

UTI-San Antonio will occupy more than 50,000 square feet at 5776 Stemmons Drive. The location and programs are subject to state, accreditor and U.S. Department of Education approval and student recruitment will not begin until those approvals are received.

"Universal Technical Institute is a welcome addition to San Antonio's workforce development ecosystem," said Mayor Ron Nirenberg. "We look forward to their presence helping to make economic mobility accessible for all San Antonians."
