United Service Organizations (USO) and Universal Technical Institute (UTI) have announced a partnership to support military service members with their transition to civilian life. The collaboration will focus on offering specialized training programs and resources for careers in the transportation, skilled trades and energy industries, the organizations reported in a press release.
Key highlights of the collaboration include dedicated services to help service members identify and pursue career paths that align with their individual goals and aspirations; transition workshops that offer tools and knowledge to help ensure a smooth shift to civilian life; and networking support with industry leaders to help facilitate training and job placement.
In addition, USO and UTI will work together to connect service members, reservists and dependents with Department of Defense SkillBridge and Career Skills programs. These include the on-base BMW Military Service Technician Education programs at Camp Pendleton in California and Fort Liberty in North Carolina, and the Penske Premier Truck Group Technician Skills program at Fort Bliss.
Universal Technical Institute offers multiple veteran-specific services to those making the transition from military service, including scholarships and dedicated representatives who help navigate the admissions and financial aid processes. Universal Technical Institute is the transportation, skilled trades and energy education division of UTI, Inc.
