When can we expect layoffs at UTI?

We all know they are coming, but what time frame are we talking about?

Dismal numbers. UTI is truly on life support. I can't imagine how unbearable it must be to be a UTI rep and a financial aid advisor. The pressure must be extreme. Reps enrolling students, and financial aid advisors pressured into acting like... read more

UTI enrollment continues to drop (but at a slower pace)

"Lower student population levels as we began 2018 and fewer new student starts during the period resulted in a decline of 5.2% in our average undergraduate full-time student enrollment to 10,823 students for the six months ended March 31, 2018. We... read more

Leadership at UTI lacks any morals

Layoff notices ahead of next week's earnings call--or afterward?

Any word of an upcoming RIF?

We can just take turns and shuffle them between MMI and WyoTech

WyoTech fails miserably due to poor education and a high percentage of teachers that are paper whipped into teachers, they employ half of MMIs misfits from past times and it still continues. They leave one and go to the other only to share antique... read more
