Northwest Technical Institute

Can you tell that the semester is wrapping up? Yes, it's finals week! It looks to me that at least two automotive students really like instructor Nate Despain. Could it be that they're trying to win him over, or is it Nate that's attempting to do the winning over? #finalsweek #finals #semesterend #graduation #nwti #automotive

We are no longer a second or third option after high school; we're a first choice. Skilled trades fuel our economy! Join the world of VERY essential workers. nwti.edu #nwti #skilledtrades #cte #bringbackthetrades #adhe #careers #nwarkansas #technicaltrades #nursing

THIS MORNING AT NWTI, it's our Practical Nursing program picture day!

Our Practical Nursing program has an annual picture day for program students that will be graduating this semester. Congratulations on taking this next step in your career! Do you want to take this career path? Start by looking at our website: nwti.edu

If you've ever been in a hospital or had a loved one in the hospital or doctor's office, you know just how important nurses are to the every day (every hour) care we receive. #nwti #nursing #practicalnursing #photography #salute #cangratulations #graduation #nwarkansas #website #googlesearch

WELDING STUDENTS Jeff Middleton (on the left), and Connor Reed (on the right), recently made this custom table for a class project.

The tabletop was made from reclaimed barnwood that was flash-burned, and then clear coat was applied. They used tig-welding techniques to put together the other parts and then to attach them to the tabletop.

And all that only took them two weeks to do while still doing their regular classwork! Nice piece guys, you better get an "A grade" on this one!

Are you interested in being able to produce pieces like these, and a lot of other welding magic? Take a look at our website and see if a career in welding is for you: nwti.edu #nwti #welding #weldersworld #tigwelding #nwarkansas #springdalear #tradeschool #technicalschool

WHAT'S GOING ON AT NWTI TODAY? We continue our salute to our instructors during national "Teacher's Week."

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

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.
