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.

UEI Houston offers training in several high-demand fields:
Skilled Trades

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