Universal Technical Institute, Inc. CEO Jerome Grant Testifies Before House Committee on Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity

Yesterday, Jerome Grant, CEO of Universal Technical Institute, testified before the U.S. House Committee on Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity in Washington, D.C., urging passage of HR 1458.
UTI and its Concorde Career Colleges division educate more than 3,300 veterans and military‑affiliated students, offering career transition supports like scholarships and career coaching.
Grant told the committee that `Universal Technical Institute, Inc. is privileged to serve those who have served our nation, and we stand ready to work with Congress to expand opportunity and strengthen outcomes for America's veterans. The VETS Opportunity Act would expand opportunities in fields where demand is high, wages are strong and veterans thrive. It would reduce underemployment, strengthen our workforce and allow more veterans to pursue careers in the skilled trades and healthcare sectors where shortages are persistent and nationally significant`, and the company published his full testimony.
UTI described passage of the VETS Opportunity Act as essential to veterans' access to current jobs and future careers, saying `Passing the VETS Opportunity Act is one of the most important steps Congress can take` to tackle America's skilled labor shortage.
Allowing GI Bill use for accredited hybrid and flexible programs would broaden veterans' training options if HR 1458 is adopted, affecting more than 3,300 military‑affiliated students at UTI and Concorde.
