ITT Educational Services, Inc. is the parent company of ITT Technical Institute, a provider of career-focused postsecondary education. Headquartered in Carmel, Indiana, the company traces its roots to a 1986 spin-off from ITT Corporation and built a national footprint by establishing technical schools across the United States. ITT Educational Services has historically sought to address workforce needs through programs in technology, health sciences and business disciplines.
Through its ITT Technical Institute brand, the company offered associate’s and bachelor’s degree programs in fields such as electronics technology, drafting and design, computer programming, network systems administration, business administration, criminal justice and nursing. Courses were delivered on campus at purpose-built facilities and through an online learning platform, with curricula designed to combine theoretical instruction with practical, skills-based training. Career services and job placement support were integral components of the student experience.
At its height, ITT Educational Services operated more than 130 campus locations in over 40 states and Puerto Rico, alongside an expanding online division. The institution’s growth was guided by a leadership team with expertise in higher education management, regulatory compliance and curriculum development. Executives and academic officers collaborated to oversee program offerings, accreditation initiatives and student outcomes.
Despite its role in expanding access to technical education, ITT Educational Services faced regulatory and funding challenges in the mid-2010s. In 2016, federal authorities suspended the company’s access to key Title IV student aid programs, leading to the closure of its schools. Since that time, remaining assets have been managed under court supervision, and the company’s shares trade on the over-the-counter market under the symbol ESINQ.
