IT'S TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK! May (the) 4th through May 8th we celebrate our teachers and instructors.

They inspire and train us. And since it's definitely not a profession that makes you wealthy, it shows that they really care about what they do and the people they help. THANK YOU TEACHERS!

WHAT'S GOING ON AT NWTI TODAY? First off, we have our latest CDL class grad pictured here with instructor Jim Morse.

Next, we have CDL instructors Lonnie O' Bryant and Tim Day, dedicating themselves to maintaining our fleet of trucks. If I were them, I would've made that part of the student's licensing requirements!

Would you like to earn your CDL in as little as four weeks? Truck washing isn't mandatory. Let our website show you the way: nwti.edu #cdl #nwti #semitrucks #truckdriving #nwarkansas #springdale #bentonville #rogersar #fayettevillear #certifieddriverslicense

FIX IT FRIDAY! Starring our Automotive Repair Technology students - including our high school techsters.

Do you notice what all the pictures (except for the building photo) have in common? Let's make that a rhetorical question; they're all elbow-deep into their respective projects! Hands-on/hands-in; that's the NWTI way.

If sitting behind a desk isn't for you, maybe a career in auto repair technology is. Talk about essential workers, how would we stay on the roads without you? Learn more on our website: nwti.edu.

Coming next week: Industrial Maintenance Monday! #autoservice #automotive #automotiverepair #bringbackthetrades #NWTI #nwarkansas #springdale #IndustrialMaintenance
