🚀Looking for a Career Change? Here’s How You Could Be Job-Ready in 10 Months

HOUSTON – Houston continues to grow — and with that growth comes opportunity.

If you’ve been thinking about making a career move, changing paths, or gaining skills that can lead to steady, in-demand work, United Education Institute (UEI) Houston is helping students take that next step.

Located on Bissonnet Street, UEI’s Houston campus offers hands-on training programs designed to prepare students for careers in healthcare and skilled trades — industries that are essential to our city’s future.

A Career-Focused Approach

Unlike traditional four-year colleges, UEI focuses exclusively on career training. Many programs can be completed in as few as 10 months, allowing students to move quickly from the classroom into the workforce.

Dr. Shalisa Powell, Campus President at UEI Houston, says the goal is simple: prepare students to be job-ready from day one.

Students complete some coursework online, then come to campus for hands-on lab training in spaces designed to mirror real-world workplaces. That means working with industry-standard tools, equipment, and systems — building practical skills and confidence before graduation.

Programs Designed for Houston’s Workforce

UEI Houston offers training in several high-demand fields:

Skilled Trades

  • Electrician Technician
  • HVAC Technician

Healthcare

  • Dental Assistant
  • Medical Assistant
  • Medical Billing & Insurance Coding

These industries continue to grow across Houston, creating steady demand for trained professionals.

Who Can Apply?

UEI serves a wide range of students — from recent high school graduates to adults changing careers, parents re-entering the workforce, and individuals simply looking for a faster path to a new profession.

There is no cost to apply, and the admissions team works with students of all ages and experience levels.

In addition to training, UEI offers career services and job placement support to help graduates transition into their new careers.
