United Education Institute Promotes Career Advancements for Adults This Back-to-School Season
United Education Institute Spotlights Adult Career Opportunities
As parents in Georgia focus on preparing their children for the upcoming school year, the United Education Institute (UEI) is issuing a reminder that this transitional period can also serve as a valuable opportunity for adults seeking personal and professional growth. With campuses located in Morrow and Stone Mountain, UEI offers career training programs that promise to equip adult learners with the skills they need to excel in new careers within a mere ten months.
Real Success Stories
Take, for instance, Taylor Payne, a current student enrolled in the Electrician Technician program at UEI Morrow. After experiencing a layoff from her former I.T. position due to her company’s integration of AI tools, she decided to make a significant career change. Winning the prestigious Be the Change Scholarship, Taylor shared her experience, stating, "UEI has been an amazing experience for me. The instructors are fantastic. They really go out of their way to help students."
Payne's sentiments reflect the overall climate of support at UEI’s campuses, which work to create an uplifting environment for adult learners. Ki'aira Staples, a graduate from the Electrician Technician program at UEI Stone Mountain, found community amid the diverse student body, sharing, "I don't think I would be the person I am now if I didn't come into contact with so many people from so many walks of life at UEI. Being at UEI allowed me to know there were people who would support me."
Similarly, Alicia Vernon, who graduated as a Medical Assistant from UEI Stone Mountain, made the bold decision to return to school after her deployment with the Army National Guard. Driven by a long-time aspiration to work in the medical field, she expressed satisfaction with her newfound role saying, "Being able to help people and make them feel better, it brings me joy."
An Invitation to Invest in Yourself
These powerful narratives illustrate how significant life changes, such as layoffs or transitions from military service, can inspire adults to invest in their personal development. Joseph Cockrell, a spokesperson for UEI, reinforced this message, stating, "Stories like these show how a layoff, a homecoming, or simply the start of a new school year can be the push adults need to invest in themselves. We invite you to come and see all that UEI has to offer."
Open House Events on August 12 and 13
To facilitate those interested in taking the next step in their educational journey, UEI plans to host open house events across all campuses on August 12 and 13. From 9 a.m. to noon and 4 to 7 p.m., prospective students can tour state-of-the-art lab facilities and meet with admissions representatives face-to-face. Interested individuals can RSVP via the official UEI website at UEI.edu.
Moreover, understanding the challenges of balancing work, family, and education, UEI offers flexible hybrid scheduling alongside hands-on lab training. Their Georgia campuses, situated in Morrow and Stone Mountain, provide comprehensive programs including Automotive Technician, Dental Assistant, Electrician Technician, Medical Assistant, Medical Billing and Insurance Coding, as well as Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC).
In an era where many adults are looking to redefine their career paths and enhance their skill sets, the United Education Institute stands out as a key resource to empower them towards achieving their career aspirations.
