What happened
Technical colleges are seeing increased enrollment at Universal Technical Institute Inc. and Lincoln Educational Services Corp. because employers are expanding manufacturing, building data centers, and automating factories. This growth is straining current capacity, forcing both schools to raise capital spending to accelerate campus and program expansion.
