TRADE SCHOOL IS A PRIME CHOICE! And here's why...

Simply put: skilled trades are in high demand. They will continue to be in high demand for years to come, and that is based on research from entities like "Bring Back The Trades," the publisher of this graphic.

Don't wait. The time is now to get started on the path to a well-paying career. The jobs and opportunities are out there right now; go get one for yourself!

#NWTI is both #RETA and #SACA authorized. What are RETA and SACA? #Industries and businesses know they are important for #certification purposes and #upskilling their employees.

SACA certifications are different. How? Well, today, various industry certifications focus on individual competencies, including machining, maintenance, or IT. SACA certifies “connected systems” skills that address the integration of these technologies with #Industry 4.0 #technology.

We are also an authorized RETA Testing Center, hosting a variety of certification and professional exams. RETA certification exams are offered on our main campus on Fridays from 8:00 am.–12:00 p.m. by appointment only.

Northwest Technical Institute has a wide selection of Short-Term Industry Training courses aimed at #employers looking to #train their existing #workforce. There's much more information on our website: nwti.edu #industrytraining #skilledtrades #nwarkansas #nti #ammoniarefrigeration
