The three-week "Ignite" program lets students test drive a technical education and is free to high school juniors.

Universal Technical Institute is now accepting applications to its three-week summer program, Ignite.

The Ignite program, which is free to high school juniors, offers students an introduction to the training they'll need to prepare to enter the workforce as a technician in the transportation industry.

Participants will learn about various industry career opportunities, as well as receive hands-on training and real-world skills. 

"It's important to educate high school students about the demand for skilled technicians, and the extensive opportunities that exist in transportation and the skilled trades," UTI CEO Jerome Grant said in a press release. "Our summer Ignite program gives students invaluable real-world training and can help open doors to lifelong careers they may have not considered. We're excited to bring the program back to our campuses at full capacity this year, with the goal of hopefully providing our employer partners with more talented technicians in the future."

The Ignite program is accepting applications across UTI's campuses in Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Texas.
