The Hiring Truth about Information Systems: A resume stacked with 10 random foundational certifications looks suspicious to a hiring manager.

The most effective approach is a "Stack" strategy: combine one baseline certification (e.g., CompTIA Security+ or AWS Associate) with one role-specific expert certification (e.g., CKA or AZ-305), and tie them together with a public portfolio or Git repository containing real architectural designs.

Do you need help figuring out a path for yourself in the Information Systems field? NWTI is here for you! Start out by heading to our website: nwti.edu #informationsystems #informationtechnology #nwti #comptia #computers

JOIN NWTI AND THE American Trucking Associations (ATA), in partnership with its Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC), in celebrating National Technician Appreciation Week. This is an important time for America to recognize the skilled professionals who keep our trucks on the road and our industry moving.

These dedicated men and women, our NWTI techs (shown here), perform one of the most critical roles in transportation by ensuring that mechanics maintain, repair, and safely operate vehicles. Their expertise, precision, and commitment not only keep freight moving with efficiency but also help protect drivers and everyone who shares the road.

Join us in celebrating the technicians that keep our industry moving and thank them for all they do! #nwti #dieseltrucks #nationaltechnicianweek2026 #nwarkansas #maintenancetechnology

THIS MORNING AT NWTI: State of NWTI address and 50th Anniversary Time Capsule Event!

Faculty, staff, friends, students, and two special guests (Mike Rogers and Stephanie Issacs), along with the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, came out to support us on this momentous occasion.

School President David Patty told the audience about our increased year-over-year student enrollment and the outstanding results we've gotten from our new short-term industry training program.

Last year started with four short-term industry classes, and currently we've increased that number to 17! We couldn't have achieved this level of success without the support of The Office of Skills Development and the Office of Workforce Training.

Thank you to all who attended, and NWTI will be around in 2050 to unearth this "new" time capsule! #nwti #nwakansas #nwarkansasdemocratgazette #springdale #votech #timecapsule #industrytraining #osd

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
