Universal Technical Institute (UTI) and NAPA have announced the 2025 Summer Ignite program designed to address workforce demand. The program provides training and insight into the industry and students who successfully pass the end-of-course exam(s) can also earn transfer credit toward a future UTI program, which helps reduce their educational costs.

“As the demand for skilled technicians remains strong, and Gen Z is considering educational paths outside of a traditional four-year degree, Summer Ignite is a valuable opportunity that exposes students to hands-on, technology-driven transportation careers,” said UTI Division President Tracy Lorenz.

Since 2021, UTI and NAPA have partnered to support the future of those seeking careers in the transportation and aftermarket auto repair industries. As part of the program, NAPA is providing all Summer Ignite students with three uniform shirts free of charge.
