The event will feature a live radio broadcast from local station 103. 7 WLLR; concert ticket raffles; door prizes; MTI apparel giveaways; free food and beverages; and more.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to tour MTI's classrooms and labs, meet with faculty and staff and receive valuable information about the school's enrollment process and financial aid opportunities.
There is no cost to attend the open house and those with families or young children are also encouraged to attend.
The open house is designed to provide prospective students with a comprehensive look at MTI's course and program offerings. Founded in 1995, MTI strives to provide area students with the best in hands-on, workforce training for a number of in-demand skilled labor careers, including those in welding, HVAC, medical assisting, dental assisting, truck driving and more.
MTI's Moline location houses a majority of the school's available programs. Current students from a wide variety of those programs will also be in attendance throughout
Thursday's event to provide visitors with an intimate view of student life, and MTI Director of Marketing Stacey Wierman believes the open house is a valuable resource for
students still considering their post-high school education plans.
"We know these students have a lot of decisions to make and there's a lot weighing on their minds," Wierman said. "We want to be able to let them see that there are other
options for education, and we can show them what MTI can do for them to get started on a career path that will transform their lives."
Interested students should RSVP for the open house prior to the event. For more information or to RSVP, contact the Moline campus at (309) 277-7900.
