Put on by the NW Arkansas Educational Service Cooperative on February 11th in Farmington, these incredible ladies from area high schools competed for prizes including a scholarship tuition waiver from us here at NWTI! Ashley Simpson and Mark Moreland from NWTI served as two of the judges for this event.
The girls competed in 4 different welding categories: wood CNC, metal, laser engraving, and combo/multi-tool.
We'll post more pics later, but over 300 photos were taken! #welding #weldinglife #girlpower #nwarkansas #secondarycareercenter #highschoolprograms #farmingtonarkansas #GravetteAR #huntsvilleAR #washingtoncountyar #nwaesc #nwarkansaseducationalservicecoop

ALLOW US TO INTRODUCE: Eric Crabtree. Eric earned his Motor Controls certificate yesterday. Join us in congratulating him on his achievement!
In the words of our Motor Controls Instructor, Patrick Meyer, "Eric is the first student to finish the entire course and not blow one fuse, which is quite impressive." Are you or your company interested in short-term industry training? Check out your options on our website: nwti.edu
And for those of us outside of electrical motor controls, this is even more impressive, as most of us blow our fuses on a daily basis. Well done, Eric! #motorcontrols #electrical #electricalmotorcontrols #nwti #nwarkansas #congratulations

Every February we honor the achievements of Black Americans and their integral role in U.S. history, stemming from the first Negro History Week established by Carter G. Woodson in 1926. Northwest Technical Institute also celebrates the importance of this month. Yes, 2026 marks 100 years since the establishment of national commemorations of Black History; which is also American history!
WORLD WAR I: TWO SOLDIERS' STORIES - The Lockett and Singletary Letters...
As far as we know, Arthur Singleton and Jessie Lockett did not know each other when they arrived in France with the American Expeditionary Forces in autumn 1918.
Their fates intertwined years later, when their families united through the marriage of Lockett’s son to Singleton’s daughter — and again in 2024, when their mutual granddaughter donated their manuscript collections to the Veterans History Project.

YESTERDAY (WEDNESDAY), AT NWTI...Our Information Services Program hosted guest speaker AJ Collins.
AJ is a 2010 graduate of our I.S. Program, as taught by NWTI fixture, Instructor Molly Colorado. What makes this guest speaker engagement that much more interesting is that AJ's son, Hunter, is a current member of the class!
Here's a little bit of AJ's background...

• Spent 8 years at the U of A in Info Tech
• Currently works at Signature Bank where he is the Computer Support Analyst and Help Desk Manager for all 11 branches
• Also known as "The Ticket Master"
If you think Information Systems and Information Technology isn't absolutely ESSENTIAL; what happens when your computer is down and you have no idea why? Know that feeling? Yes, IT people are super important and necessary! Thank you for coming to speak to our students (and your son Hunter) AJ!

Yesterday students Friedrich Lauti, Jose Delgadillo, Jessie Torrijos, and Daniel Lee worked on a 3-phase motor control in instructor Ty Woods' ELECTRONICS AND AUTOMATION class.
For us non-technical people, it's like three people pushing a merry-go-round in rhythm instead of one person shoving it randomly. You might (or might not) be wondering what that has to do with our everyday life?
They matter anywhere you need serious power that runs smoothly and doesn’t quit. You already rely on them more than you think.
• HVAC systems – big air conditioners, heat pumps, commercial furnaces
• Elevators & escalators – smooth starts, no jerky motion
• Refrigeration – grocery store freezers, walk-in coolers, ice machines
• Water systems – well pumps, city water pumps, wastewater treatment
If you enjoy working with your hands, solving technical problems, and repairing essential systems that everyone relies on, Northwest Technical Institute is here for you! Head to our website: nwti.edu for info on this and our many other programs.

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
