History
YTI Career Institute serves students and employers throughout Central Pennsylvania and the surrounding areas. YTI started offering career-focused educational programs in 1967 and remains committed to that purpose today. In the fall of 1999, YTI opened an additional location at the Lancaster County Career & Technology Center - Mt. Joy and began offering the Culinary Arts/Restaurant Management program. The demand for the program increased, and YTI added another location in Mt. Joy to accommodate additional students in the fall of 2000. The Pastry Arts program was also added that fall.
Due to the success of the culinary programs, YTI decided to purchase a 52,000 squarefoot facility located at 3050 Hempland Road, Lancaster, PA, to accommodate its growing student population. This new location provided the opportunity to add additional programs. In the fall of 2003, YTI closed the Mt. Joy locations and opened its Lancaster campus. In 2023, the Lancaster campus moved to 380 Centerville Road.
YTI Career Institute - Lancaster operates the Culinary Arts/Restaurant Management and Pastry Arts programs d/b/a The Pennsylvania School of Culinary Arts.
Due to strong market demands, the allied health division was created and started its first program, Medical Assistant in July 2004. Medical Billing & Coding was added in October 2005. (YTI - Lancaster is no longer enrolling in the Medical Assistant program.)
In 2006, the name of the campus was changed to YTI Career Institute-Lancaster. Also in 2006, YTI purchased the Computer Learning Network schools in Altoona and Mechanicsburg. YTI has grown significantly from its small beginnings some 47 years ago and now serves a population of approximately 600 students at its campuses. The YTI schools remain committed to its mission of serving the career and personal goals of students and meeting the employment needs of businesses in the local region.
