PHOENIX, May 17, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Universal Technical
Institute (UTI), a division of Universal Technical Institute, Inc. (NYSE: UTI) and
a leading workforce solutions provider of transportation, skilled
trades, and energy education programs, is adding Papé, a capital
equipment, service and solutions provider, to its Early
Employment Program (EEP). Diesel technology students at
UTI-Avondale (Ariz.), UTI-Sacramento, UTI-Long Beach and UTI-Rancho
Cucamonga (Calif.) are eligible to apply. Papé has more than 160
dealerships across 9 states in the West, and company
representatives say a majority of those locations are in need of
entry-level technicians.
With strong demand for skilled workers, a growing number of
employers across the country are joining UTI's Early Employment
Program. Participating employers offer current students 20-30 hours
of paid work experience plus consideration for full-time employment
and reimbursement for education-related expenses after
graduation[1].
Papé provides heavy machinery and state-of-the-art
technology in industries that include agriculture, forestry,
construction, drilling, mining, road building, material handling,
and warehousing. Papé is giving participating students the
opportunity to earn tuition reimbursement covering 50% of their
out-of-pocket tuition expense while they are in school, with the
remaining 50% reimbursed over the first two years of full-time
employment with Papé after graduation. The company also
includes a $2.00 per hour increase in
the negotiated starting rate of pay for graduates, to provide a
tuition reimbursement incentive.
"We're proud to welcome Papé to UTI's Early Employment
Program and excited to make additional opportunities available to
students to gain more opportunities to earn real-world experience
while helping them pay for their education," said UTI Division
President Tracy Lorenz. "The Early
Employment Program helps UTI continue to offer industry-aligned
technical training with some of the most respected names in the
transportation industry, while giving those companies an
opportunity to find qualified employees who can contribute right
away and grow their careers."
"Papé is proud to partner with UTI, a leading educator of
tomorrow's technicians," said Brandon
Morse, recruiting manager at Papé. "We are looking to create
lifelong relationships and career opportunities with our technician
team members. We are excited about this partnership with UTI and
look forward to immersing students and recent graduates in our
workplace culture and providing them with hands-on experience
within their chosen industry."
