How Can MTI Change Your Life?
“Before I graduated MTI, I was making $14 an hour as a diesel mechanic. I had a daughter and my son was about to be born. After graduating, I found a job for $20 an hour which helped a lot. Shortly after, I found a job for $30 an hour TIG welding aluminum. I wouldn’t be able to provide for my family if I never went to the school.”
Terry
Welding Graduate
“Great paced classes. [I] learned a lot from my instructors during my 7-month [program] for welding. It feel[s] adequate enough to tackle the work force as a Journeyman Welder. I would encourage any serious people to attend and keep it up.”
Nick
Welding Graduate
“I learned a skill that I take with me wherever I go and make money.”
Carl
Welding & Pipefitting Graduate
“I chose MTI over any other trade school because I actually did my research on different schools…they just don’t want you to go there, they want you to succeed.”
