WINTER WEATHER/HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS UPDATE...
Because of ongoing hazardous road conditions, we will be closed on Wednesday, January 28th. #winterweather #nwti #closings #schoolclosings #weatherupdate #areyouopen
NWTI flashback to last week!
First up we have Jonathan Virden from the One Motion company. Jonathan won a motor control competition for completion of a functioning circuit he designed. A timer relay forward reverse high voltage 3 phase motor. He executed that in our Short Term Industry Training “Motor Controls class.”
Most of us have no idea what that actually means, but that’s a big part of why NWTI is here; to teach and upgrade skills that keep essential equipment we all depend upon running AND improving.
We also have a picture of all the certificate earners from that class. Congratulations! Well done!
One Motion donated some direct current motors to NWTI for educational purposes. Shout out to One Motion!
We have much more information about all of our short term industry classes and more on our website: nwti.edu #motorcontrols #onemotion #shorttermtraining #stackablecredentials #nwti #nwarkansas

YESTERDAY AND THIS MORNING AT NWTI...Congratulations to the attendees and certification earners from our first Ammonia Refrigerator Operator III class!
What is covered in this comprehensive program? We're glad you asked...
This course is geared to aide in the preparation for the RETA CIRO and/or CRST certifications, as Operator I, Operator II and Operator III combined. Attendees will receive a RETA IR 3 book. Expect to master industrial refrigeration system mechanical integrity; component preventive and predictive maintenance; thermal imaging inspections; ammonia sensor calibration; how to read schematics/diagrams associated with electrical equipment expected to be used in typical refrigeration systems.
Does that sound too technical for you? You're definitely not alone! However, if you're already in this type of industry or even an adjacent one, take a look at what we have to offer right here: bit.ly/3LnoqE5 #nwti #ammoniarefrigeration #ammonia #nwarkansas #operatorthree #ciro #crst #refrigeration #congratulations #reta

**What Went On At NWTI Last Week**
Last week our Diesel Technology Program had a recruiter from J.A. Riggs Caterpillar come by and speak to the students about being a technician and job roles available to diesel students (not just turning wrenches). She also told them how to sell themselves in an interview in order to be more marketable and get the maximum wage possible for someone with their skillset. #JARiggsCatepillar #jariggs #diesel #dieseltruck #nwarkansas #interviewprep #nwti #enginerepair #bigrigs
