Established on August 28th, 2024 the Food Pantry is just another way we are dedicated to go above & beyond for our students. #nwti50thanniversary #nwti #nwafoodbank #foodpantry #helpinghand

We oftentimes forget that when a household is dealing with food insecurity, it usually effects their pets too.

HOW DID WE GET OUR START 50 YEARS AGO?
The idea of a vocational and technical school in Springdale, AR. began way back in 1973. On March 3rd, 1973, a bill was introduced to the Arkansas State Legislature to appropriate funds for "...the constructing and equipping of various vocational-technical schools...." That document is shown in this post.
We've also included historic newspaper articles and photos to illustrate just how NWTI (then called Northwest Vocational-Technical School) was established and began to evolve.
We'll have much more news and history in the coming months as we celebrate our journey towards 50 years of providing workforce training excellence!
Won't you please join us? #nwti50thanniversary #nwarkansas #vocational #technical #school #workforceeducation
