Universal Technical Institute, Inc, a leading workforce solutions provider of transportation, skilled trades, and energy education programs, is joining forces with 3t Energy Group, a global training powerhouse, to enhance and expand the UTI family of school’s Wind Power Technician training program, currently offered at its MIAT campuses in Canton, Mich, and Houston, Texas.
The new agreement means 3t Energy Group will review UTI’s training facilities, help design the curriculum and train its instructors in the development of Global Wind Organisation (GWO)-accredited safety and skills training. UTI is currently in the process of expanding the Wind Power Technician program to an additional two UTI campuses in 2023 – Rancho Cucamonga, Calif, and Lisle, Ill – and are exploring future expansion opportunities.
“The demand for skilled workers, specifically in green energy, is the reason why UTI is increasing its capacity to train more students to become wind turbine technicians,” said UTI Division President Tracy Lorenz. “This partnership will uniquely position us to become a market leader in wind energy training.”
3t Energy Group is a leading provider of training, technology, and simulation solutions to the worldwide energy industry. As a world-leading GWO and energy sector training facilitator, 3t works directly with independent and government workforce development organizations all over the world in the creation of new, GWO, and industry-accredited training facilities.
“This is a very exciting partnership for 3t Energy Group, and I’m thrilled to be bringing our years of industry-leading experience and knowledge to UTI to help shape the future of the renewables industry,” said Geoff Croft, Global Head of GWO Training and Development at 3t Energy Group. “This is the beginning of an exciting, and no doubt long-term, partnership with UTI, joining them in their ambition to be a leading provider of GWO and industry training courses across the US.”
