What are some of the upcoming offerings for short-term programs training individuals in the Trades Area?
Well, what are the benefits of short-term training? How does the MNTC short-term training program benefit the local community?
So, how do people find out more or sign up for these courses?
To begin with, we have what I call our
“Core Fore” programs. Those are electrical apprentice, HVAC/R, precision machining, and welding. These are hands-on training programs that will be in our next catalog that will run from June to December. These are programs that run in the evenings, but we use the same curriculum as our long-term daytime programs, there are just different instructors. The shortest class is around 42 hours while our longest class goes up to 250 hours.
One of the most significant benefits is that students get real-world experience with smaller class sizes. In the evenings, all our class sizes are less than ten people plus the instructor. That means you get a lot of attention in a shorter amount of time. We also have multiple start dates with the short-term programs, which gives students much more flexibility. Then there is the lower cost that we offer so that you can get excellent training in a shorter and more flexible time frame, and it will cost you less. And finally, you can use the programs to gain certifications or take care of some of the requirements as you work your way toward certification.
The most significant way it helps the community is by helping meet the skills gap that so many employers are facing. It also helps adults continue their education and improve their skills as they work in a trades position. We get a lot of phone calls from employers that need to fill these trades positions, particularly in the areas of electrical, welding, and precision machining.
The easiest way is to go to our website at mntc.edu. On the home page, you’ll see a link to short-term programs. Just click on that link to check out the available programs. I’d also encourage folks to go ahead and look at the long-term programs as well. We will also have a new catalog coming out soon that will contain all the upcoming listings.
Film Festival
What other benefits have students experienced from participating in the RCFF?
This experiential learning is an opportunity for students to see a project from start to finish and interact with professionals in our industry. Students have entered their movies in other film festivals after RCFF. It also gives them demo reel material and has led to internship opportunities and beyond.
Whether it's film or graphic design, you're competing with other people to get those jobs. You're competing to win the client. You're competing for your design to be chosen. That's what we try to build in here, that it's not just another moment where it's chosen by people in the industry, and it's getting them more interaction with people in the business. And it's not teachers; we just wanted to build it in the real world, from beginning to end. It truly helps our students stand out when they leave MNTC, whether they choose to continue their education or enter the industry.
RCFF reaches beyond the walls of Moore Norman and into the professional company; how is that?
We have worked with professionals in the film and design industry to make these films possible. We have worked with Freihofer Casting to cast our productions, and we have worked with organizations in the past like ACM@UCO to compose original soundtracks made for our films. Additionally, we work with industry experts to determine what films go into production and to determine the brand and theme for that year's RCFF .
When and where is RCFF this year, and how can the community learn more?
The RCFF this year will be the evening of May 24th, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Winchester Drive-In (6930 S. Western), weather permitting. Tickets are $10 each or $40 per vehicle and can be purchased by the community online at mntc.edu/rcff or by scanning the QR code.
