Northwest Technical Institute

Recently, James Peterson with Advanced Technologies Consultants, demonstrated a Universal Robots scale model interactive training cobot, to our Electronics, Industrial Maintenance, Ammonia Refrigeration and IT/IS students. Students were given an opportunity to interact with, program and control the cobot and modular peripheral equipment to simulate multiple real world industrial applications. All of our program instructors attended with their students. So what is a cobot? It's a collaborative robot. It's a robot that is designed to work safely alongside humans in a shared workspace. Cobots are often used to perform repetitive tasks, freeing up humans to focus on more important work. If you would like to see an example of how a cobot works, you can start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaZylOe6o_0

As promised - - Marco's Pizza to the rescue! Having lunch a little early isn't a problem when it's pizza. If our new students' Fall Semester orientation takes until 2pm, it's our duty to feed them lunch! And we even make sure to include our faculty and staff. We're nice like that. #pizza #marcospizza #fallsemester #orientation #nwti #students #faculty #staff #nwarkansas

School starts next Monday - - but THIS Monday here at NWTI it's New Student Orientation Day! As you can see we've got a packed house right now. Starting at 8am it might've been a little early to kick off the day for some of our students, but we will be feeding them Marcos' Pizza for lunch! Surely that will bring everyone's energy levels back up. Then again, maybe not? Welcome to a new semester here at NWTI everyone! www.nwti.edu #fallsemester #nwti #welcomestudents #students #instructors #training #classes #marcospizza

NWTI Graduation 2024 pictures are here! This small set of pictures is from the evening session. After some selecting and editing, here are just a few of the hundreds of pictures taken at our June 20th Graduation Ceremonies. MANY more to come, and we'll also be publishing a special section on our website later this week. Be sure to check it out at nwti.edu It was a packed house at Har-ber High School 's Auditorium and it was "slightly warm" inside. But as you can see in these pictures, it was great for families and friends who DEFINITELY showed up and shouted out to their favorite grads. NWTI Board Chairman Carlos Chicas started off the festivities with a prayer, and then remained on stage to help hand out diplomas. We'll have much to show you in the coming days. Stay tuned! #nwti #graduation #education #nwarkansas #adhe #springdalearkansas #ceremony #congratulationsgraduates #skillstraining

On Tuesday, June 6th, Sherri Holliday-Sklar from Rogers Rotary, along with Michael Dewberry from NWTI, and graduating Marshallese electronics student, Janton Kamram, were on hand for a check presentation of $10,000 from Rotary to Northwest Technical Institute, to provide scholarships for Marshallese students. Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change across the globe, in their communities, and in themselves. Two years ago, the Rogers Rotary Club set out to help the Marshallese Community by assisting in their continuing education efforts. The Rogers Rotary organized a bicycle ride in April 2023 to raise funds for this purpose. 27 Rotarians volunteered to provide a good experience for 53 registered bicyclists. The participation and assistance of the Consulate General of the Marshall Islands was greatly appreciated. Dedicated NWTI instructors and staff provide training for jobs that are in high demand. The Rogers Rotary Club believes that this scholarship funding will make it easier for Marshallese students to graduate and succeed as they work to improve the lives of their families and community! #marshallese #community #springdale #nwti #nwarkansas #scholarships #education #thankyou
