Its primary revenue source is student tuition and fees, not lending, insurance, or other financial services. Consequently, most KPIs under the 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' value are not applicable to its core business model. UTI does not offer consumer credit products, deposit services, or insurance, resulting in a score of 0 for pricing fairness, exploitative fee exposure, inclusion initiatives, data accessibility, fair lending compliance, debt burden ratio, geographic inclusion, and product simplicity. While UTI's educational services aim to improve economic opportunity, the provided articles do not offer direct evidence for specific wealth-building outcomes such as credit-score rise, savings growth, or homeownership for its customers, leading to a 0 for wealth-building outcome.
