Universal Technical Institute announces its partnership with NHRA Y.E.S.

The Y.E.S. (Youth Education Service) program is an innovative, track-site program, taking place at 18 NHRA national events. Fifty thousand students participate annually from schools across the country. Students from middle schools, high schools, and colleges are invited to attend this free field trip and job-shadowing activity. The 45-minute program consists of speakers inspiring and informing students about the various opportunities awaiting them if they take the necessary steps to properly prepare themselves for the challenges to come.

The Y.E.S. program consistently focuses on:

• The need for continued education
• The value of job-specific training
• The relevance of establishing clear, attainable goals
• Awareness of the tremendous variety of career options
