Impact Young Adults
______________________________________________________
UTEC’s comprehensive enrollment program model is intentionally designed for young adults with proven
barriers to success, primarily incarceration and other serious criminal histories.
Our three service communities are all designated Gateway Cities: mid-sized cities characterized by
high poverty rates, low educational attainment levels, and a strong manufacturing heritage.
Our Young Adults’ experience and opportunities are shaped by these community challenges.
