Determined, generous, and optimistic are three words that describe Twila Corter as a
successful GED student.
Twila enrolled at our NWTI Adult Education Center in June 2019. She was not new to the GED process. She had spent the previous year studying at another adult education center that was further away from her home and workplace. The distance made it difficult for her to attend class. She was excited to discover a more convenient location to continue her GED studies. Twila revealed her determination early in her first weeks of class.
She attended class for 4 hours, from 8:30-12:30, every morning, before she left to feed her elderly neighbor his lunch and arrive at work for her 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. shift. She didn’t have much time to study outside of school, so she studied during the weekends and her work lunch breaks...
We'll have much more about Twila and her journey to success in the upcoming days. We'll even have a video for you! Here are a few behind the scenes photos of Twila being interviewed! #nwti #success #GED #adulteducation #insprational

We want to thank Regions Bank for coming by to see and educate our students this week.
They setup in our Student Center and brought lots of financial information and advice, plus some cool swag!
Ben Fernandez and Roy Lee, we appreciate you stopping by on behalf of Regions Bank. Because when our students graduate and start making that money, it's good to actually know what to do with it. #regionsbank #banks #finances #nwti #nwarkansas

Last Friday our Automotive Technology Students got a lesson on the outfitting of police squad cars.
Definitely a different kind of tech and maintenance than the normal consumer car. A lot of people don't think about the upkeep of a law enforcement fleet. But we do at NWTI!

Last night, here on the NWTI Main Campus we held our semi-annual Industry Advisory Board Meetings.
This is an event where we invite our industry and employer partners to come in and have discussions with our different individual program leads and instructors, about the state of their businesses, industries, and what training they like to see us implement or continue.
The interactions are very instructive and helps us to keep our curriculums current and relevant in regards to producing workforce ready graduates.
We thank them for coming with dinner catered by Catfish Hole, always a favorite with everyone, and wish to convey our heartfelt gratitude for joining us in our mission to help those who wish to achieve a better life through leaning a skilled trade. #washingtonregionalhospital #surgerycenternwa #adhe #nwasteel #prefabllc #nwti #workforceeducation #tysonfoods #jbhunt #ozarkregionaltransit #standardmaterialsgroup

Last Friday was a busy day for us! In addition to our junior high tour, NWA Steel came by to talk to our Welding Program students.
NWA Steel President Wes Taylor was there, along with Kristy Keen. They brought donuts and coffee for the class, but more importantly they brought some knowledge about workforce and job opportunities.
NWA Steel continues to be a great partner to NWTI and our welding program! Learn more about NWA Steel right here:

Last Friday we hosted Fayetteville Junior High School "M O Ramay" for an NWTI "Talk & Tour."
Two school busloads of kids came to see what NWTI was all about. And after a 10 minute orientation in our Student Center we made SURE to get them out, about and moving around campus to get a bit of feel for what programs we offer, and what they may like to do in the future.
Following one of the 3 groups of students around, you could see their eyes were being opened to a lot of possibilities. But since they're in JUNIOR high, we made sure not to make it overwhelming for them. No reason they can't have a little bit of fun too!

From our quarterly NWTI Board of Directors' Meeting last week...
Our Pledge of Allegiance was led by Leticia Pineda, originally from Guanajuato, Mexico. She has been attending English classes at our Adult Education Center since 2021, progressing from level 1 all the way to level 3. Her leadership in the classroom, where she actively encourages her peers to attend classes on a regular basis, and persevere in pursuing their dreams, matches her dedication as a student. Currently employed at Springdale Public Schools, Mrs. Pineda is determined to improve her English skills to advance her career and achieve even greater success.
Our Employee of the quarter is Gloria Caldera. Gloria was a previous NWTI Adult Education Center student. She is a graduate of our Administrative Assistant Diploma Program. She was hired here at NWTI in 2017 as an Administrative Specialist. She is a great asset in continuing the success of our programs.
Our Teacher of the Quarter is Michael Lingerfeldt. Mike came to NWTI from industry in 2021 to teach in our Industrial Maintenance Program. He has a passion for our students, and the knowledge they receive from being here at NWTI. Bonus: he's a Harley rider!

In recognition of National Surgical Technologists Week, NWTI would like to express our sincere appreciation for all surgical technology educators. ARC/STSA provides accreditation services to our communities that validate excellence of educational programs to advance the profession and ensure quality patient care.
But CRITICAL SHORTAGES of surgical technologists have contributed to an increase in hospital-based alternative training which does not meet the standards associated with a fully accredited surgical technology education program. These alternative pathways do not meet the long established and required curriculum for surgical technologist education and are not the answer to alleviate workforce shortages- particularly in a critical patient care area like the operating room.
While progress has been made, much work is in front of us, especially with workforce shortages in many states. Please take the time to read the linked statement that outlines the value of accredited surgical technology programs, the challenges that the profession faces. We encourage you to share this statement with your school administrators, program advisory committee members, clinical affiliates, local community hospitals, as well as state assemblies and state leadership. Here is the link for the statement from ARC/STSA: bit.ly/3XRs8cM
