Midwest Technical Institute is proud to present our First Annual High School Welding Competition for local High Schools and

pictures will start at 12:00pm. We are also excited to announce that of our Lincoln Electric Virtual Reality Arc Welding Simulator
will be available for competitors and spectators to try. The simulator produces real-time, welding technique feedback similar to a

MTI's mission for the competition is to encourage high school vocational students to continue to practice and educate themselves

competition we can show support for the local vocational programs and highlight these talented students for their hard work and skill.
