I don’t know ... we’ve been through so many bad years. For the first time in a long time, things feel like we are moving in the right direction. Anyone else feel that way? Other thoughts?

How does this make you feel? http://collegemeltdown.blogspot.com/2020/11/a-letter-to-us-department-of-education.html

Looks like more cost cutting is in store. https://seekingalpha.com/news/3617406-universal-technical-institute-stumbles-in-trade-argus-downgrades-to-hold

I see some of the locations have about a 50% return rate. Ours is a ghost town. Seems like management is busy rearranging the chairs on the Titanic. How is your location doing?

There is very little interaction between instructors and students in Google classroom, It wont be long before every student realizes that the online courses which are really hastily made videos are the only way for UTI to keep the money flowing. It's... —  read more 

Well, it was good while it lasted. UTI has furloughed a ton of people. These jobs will not come back. It was good they kept a bunch around while this whole thing olayed out but the end for them is here. Sorry folks.

Out with the old. https://seekingalpha.com/pr/17825191-universal-technical-institute-announces-change-to-board-of-directors

"Seems like we should all be grateful we have jobs unlike so many who are losing them during this time. We won’t have a school (jobs!) if we don’t have revenue. Instead of whining, help! It’s for the students, not the VPs. If you hate your job - or... —  read more

I’m sure all of UTI’s Vice Presidents, Campus Presidents, and Directors are at work filming their subject matter expertise today.

Well, well, well. Looks like someone went on the UTI Wikipedia page and deleted the controversial history of UTI. The "Lawsuits, investigations, and sanctions" section was taken out on May 10 2019. I wonder if the person who deleted is a UTI employee... —  read more 

It's interesting how UTI is not taking the recommended steps to have employees work from home or closing any campuses. Does that mean they do not value the health and well being of their staff and/or students?

Here at NTI by my count, we’ve had 10 instructors voluntarily leave this failing company in the last year. Most of them were here 10 years, some with over 15 years. When will executives get the message that this company is rotten to the core. How is... —  read more

Is Kim’s resignation a good or bad thing?

I'm sorry for all those unfortunate people that have been let go. It's going to be okay, I went through UTIs layoff a few years ago and made it just fine. I doubt the people who got let go would post here during their severance payout. When I... —  read more 

hearing a few people let go across the company mostly jobs eliminated and to be picked up by someone else doing double or even triple duty.

Now that we are aware of the changes in the severance packages, are the layoffs Thursday or Friday!?!

It appears to me upper management don't learn by their mistakes. I see they have hired another financial officer. Problem is these people are not productive people. As long as I worked their they have always been top heavy. Instructors are treated... —  read more

I was as student at UTI Norwood in 2010-2011. I have to say I learned a lot from that place I still regularly use the course books to look up information that have some cobwebs on it. I have done well and make 75k a year. However, my experience at... —  read more

Not bad. They are only losing an average of 1.9 million a month. How long can they face these economic headwinds? I thought businesses were supposed to make money! Not piss it away.

Got our a-- chewed by the campus president about post on this site last week.
