What is Custom Fit & How do I Leverage it in my Downtown Business?

The program is administered through a dynamic partnership between Utah System of Higher Education Custom Fit institutions (like Uintah Basin Technical College), the state of Utah, and local businesses. Custom Fit will work with for-profit companies of all sizes across Duchesne, Uintah, and Daggett counties in need of specific technical training, safety certifications, computer skills, soft skills, leadership, service improvements—anything that helps your workforce.
