The Institute will offer Honda's Professional Automotive Career Training (PACT) program, the only of its type available in the region, to students at UTI's Glendale Heights campus. Those interested in taking part will first have to complete UTI's core automotive program.
"Many of our Honda and Acura dealers in the greater Chicago area already hire technicians from UTI. Because the dealers are in full support of this school, the P.A.C.T. program will have a head start to a successful implementation and recognize UTI as the area dealer's choice for trained technicians," said James Roach, vice president, Parts and Service Operations at American Honda.
"The program will provide our dealers with professional Honda or Acura certified technicians, which many of our dealers would welcome, adding great value to our automotive service organization."
The program will train students in several areas of the automotive industry, including Express Service, General Maintenance, Electrical Repair, Engine Repair, Transmission Repair, Fuel System Repair, Air Conditioning Repair, Steering & Suspension Repair, and Brake Repair.
At the end of the 63 weeks of training, all students will be eligible for entry-level employment at Honda and Acura dealers.
"It is with great pleasure that we announce this addition to the UTI and American Honda relationship," added Greg Dickson, UTI's vice president of customer solutions and advanced training.
"American Honda and its associated automobile brands have a tremendous reputation in the marketplace and we are honored to be chosen to administer the PACT. training at UTI to service both its Honda and Acura dealers."
