**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

This week? It's finals time! So go back in time with us to December 9th, where our Diesel Tech students guided by their instructors, worked on some end of the semester projects.
Braydon Fowler worked on the power steering cylinder of a "vintage" tractor. While Joe Parker (on the left) and David Kearney (on the right) were repairing a starter and a power steering pump.

Do you realize how many things in our lives require refrigeration? Well, these guys do! Here's our latest Ammonia Refrigeration Operator I graduating class.
They came to us from companies such as George's, Cold Core, Americold Logistics, ConAgra, and American Refrigeration Testing & Industrial. We usually have a few people from out of state, but not on this occasion. However, Dardanelle, Atkins, Russellville and Clarksville were among the towns represented. Congratulations on earning that certificate, gentlemen!

WHAT'S GOING ON AT NWTI? Have you ever tried to put together something from Ikea? Well, this looks worse than that!
Our maintenance and facilities team of Jeff and Lupe are constructing a "two-person desk and storage" work area. I wonder if Jeff's smiles are genuine, because it looks like Lupe's facial expressions are closer to the truth of this enterprise.
Good luck, gentlemen. This is necessary for staff/faculty, but better you two than us! #nwti #whatsgoingonatnwti #facilities #maintenance #nwarkansas #areyoukiddingme

WHAT'S GOING ON AT NWTI? Today we spotlight Diesel Truck Technology student Justin Matkins from Bentonville, working with instructor John Martin on fixing a leaky fuel injector pump on a first - generation, 1991 Dodge Truck. John says it's not unusual for trucks like this to sell for $40,000!
Student Justin Matkins from Bentonville was homeschooled. He said, "I always worked on engines; I was always around it. I enjoy working with my hands and figuring out mechanical problems and fixing them." Justin has just 4 WEEKS left before completing the program. Great job Justin!

This morning, we hosted our annual Veterans Day Breakfast — a tradition where we get together and honor the courage and sacrifice of our veterans. Seven NWTI instructors took part, representing a combined 53 years of service.
From sharing a hot breakfast to hearing stories of enlistment and a "tall tale" or two, it was a meaningful reminder that freedom is earned, preserved, and protected by those who serve.
To all the veterans in our halls and including students in our classrooms; in our homes, and across the nation: thank you. We are forever in your debt. 🫡
