Midwest Technical Institute - Springfield, Missouri

🏆✨Join us in celebrating Zachary Harris, MTI’s June Student of the Month at our Springfield, MO campus! 🎉✨🏆

Zachary is a student in the Industrial, Commercial & Residential (ICR) Electrician Program who truly represents PRIDE in action. 💙

Nominated by his instructor, Shelby Obermann, Zachary consistently demonstrates all of MTI’s core values and serves as a positive example for those around him.

💙 Positive Attitude – Every morning starts with a cheerful "Good Morning, Ms. O!" Zachary is always smiling and has a way of lifting the mood of everyone around him.

💙 Respect – Whether he's speaking with instructors, staff, or classmates, you can expect a respectful "ma'am" or "sir." He treats everyone with kindness and encourages others, even while continuing to learn and grow himself.

💙 Initiative – Zachary is always ready to jump in and help. His instructor shared that she can barely finish asking a question before he's already stepping up to get the job done!

💙 Dedication – While some concepts may be challenging, Zachary never gives up. His determination to keep learning and become the best version of himself is a true reflection of his dedication.

💙 Excellence – Zachary is a role model within the ICR program. He encourages those around him, leads by example, and sets the standard for what excellence looks like every day. ✨

Zachary, your positivity, hard work, and commitment to excellence inspire everyone around you. We are proud to recognize you as Student of the Month and can't wait to see all you accomplish in your future career! 🔧⚡💙

🔥🛠️ Learning Beyond the Classroom! 🛠️🔥

Our Welding students from MTI's Springfield, MO campus recently had the opportunity to put their skills into action during a field trip to Republic and Clever, Missouri. 👏

Students gained valuable hands-on experience by assisting their instructors with a variety of real-world projects, including cutting, measuring, grinding, and even welding rails in residential areas!

These experiences allowed them to apply the techniques they've been learning in class while gaining insight into the day-to-day work of professional welders. ⚡

At MTI, we believe hands-on training is one of the best ways to prepare students for success in the skilled trades. We're proud of our students for stepping up, working hard, and continuing to build the skills needed for their future careers. 💙
