MTI Alumni Stories

Tricia

Medical Assisting, 2012

鈥淢TI helped me tremendously. If I would鈥檝e gone to a traditional college it would鈥檝e taken me 2+ years to graduate. At MTI, I was able to get done in 9 months and got right out and got a job.鈥

Dylan

HVAC/R Technician, 2022

鈥淢TI 100% changed my life. Easily one of the most rewarding risks I鈥檝e taken. I quit my job in two days and started the HVAC/R Program on a limb, not knowing whether I would like it or not, or even be able to pay my bills. Not only did it 鈥榩ay鈥 off, but I truly love the career field. I was born to do this, and I can鈥檛 thank MTI and the teachers enough for giving me all the education to make it happen! MTI was the best decision I鈥檝e ever made.鈥

Audrey

Dental Assisting, 2022

鈥淚 was a 2020 high school graduate with no clue on what I wanted to do. I tried a big university, I tried a community college, and then I heard about MTI and thought I鈥檇 give it a shot. I loved it so much. The campus staff is incredible, and I had the best instructor ever.鈥

Katie

Medical Assisting, 2019

鈥淚 didn鈥檛 even know what dialysis was when I was given Davita as my externship site. Without MTI, I wouldn鈥檛 have discovered my love and passion for dialysis.鈥

Russell

HVAC/R Technician, 2017

鈥淚 loved the course of study and hands-on lab work. I loved my experience and learned a lot.鈥

Terry

Welding, 2021

鈥淏efore 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鈥檛 be able to provide for my family if I never went to the school.鈥
