Our Story

Northwest Technical Institute is dedicated to empowering diverse student populations to realize their potential by providing quality and affordable life-changing learning experiences in a safe environment. The philosophy of the post-secondary vocational technical schools in the State of Arkansas is to serve the training needs of all individuals who wish to enter a recognized occupation or, for those who have already entered an occupation, to upgrade or update their occupational skills and knowledge so that they may achieve stability or advancement in employment and to provide academic instructions so that they may attain advancement or create for themselves a better life. The personnel employed in the vocational technical schools will be the most qualified, most efficient, and most conscientious individuals employable. Next to the trainee, the instructors are the most important individuals in these institutions. These individuals impart job skills, job attitudes, and knowledge necessary for each person to become employable. Each instructor is constantly aware of and endeavors to (1) provide instruction to meet each individual's needs; (2) provide instruction to meet the needs of business and industry; (3) instill in each individual respect for the basic human rights of others; and (4) help the individual acquire the capacity to appreciate, accept, and adapt to change. Vocational technical personnel believe each individual is entitled to every assistance the school is able to provide in helping the individual plan a realistic vocational objective, assisting the individual while pursuing the plan, and aiding him or her in finding employment. Each eligible individual will be admitted for enrollment on the basis of his or her potential for achieving competence in an area of instruction suited to their desires, interests, needs, and abilities. School personnel recognize the need to constantly be aware of change and adapt the facilities, supplies, equipment, curriculum, and instructional procedures to fulfill the purpose of training individuals. To identify changes and/ or new needs, the school believes in perpetual evaluation of the total program. The community and entire school, including personnel and students, participate in the evaluations. The vocational technical schools support student organizations. These organizations enable individuals to experience leadership roles and group involvement. These experiences better prepare the individuals to assume their responsibilities as well-rounded citizens of Arkansas. The educational institution shall always strive to cooperate with industry and business in an effort to secure and maintain programs, which supplement each individual's training. The school feels that cooperative programs with business and industry partners provide students an opportunity to put into practice the skills and knowledge learned at the institution. It is believed that there will be some individuals who cannot benefit from training programs, and school personnel should assist these individuals by cooperating with all other agencies that can provide training better suited to the individual's desires, needs, interests, and abilities. It is also believed that many of our present federal vocational programs should be directed through the Arkansas Department of Career Education. It is further believed that the school should strive to be an area leader by assisting the area's businesses and industries, as well as civic interest, for the betterment of individuals in very possible way.
