Guest Bio:
Being a Tech School graduate herself has provided Kyra with a unique perspective that has been the driver behind her motivation to create more accessibility to career exploration of the trades for young adults today. That perspective, combined with her self driven management and business relations experience within the trades over the last 15 years, effectively contributes to promoting technical education as a verified foundation necessary for trades careers. With the goal of enhancing economic competitiveness and support of technical careers across our country, it is Kyra’s objective to afford our future generations the essential skill sets they need to be employable in trades that can not be outsourced.
UTI's Vision statement is "to change the world one life at a time." The reason she has chosen to work at UTI is her alignment in this same mission. Knowledge is power in this world and directly empowering our youth is a goal to contribute to changing the world for the better.
