We loved hosting students from Magnolia High School for another fun tour day!
They checked out two programs they were interested in and jumped right into hands-on activities with our instructors and students. Such a great opportunity to get a real, up-close look at our exciting career pathways!

We kicked off tour season today with freshmen and sophomores from St. Marys High School!
Students chose three programs to explore and participated in hands-on activities with our instructors and students, getting a real feel for our many different career pathways.
Have a freshman or sophomore at home? Encourage them to check out MOVTI next school year for career exploration and hands-on learning that brings their future goals to life!

We are so grateful to Todd Knotts from Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 565 for spending his afternoon with our second-year welding students. Todd observed the students while they were welding and offered valuable advice. He will be selecting a few of our students to visit their shop and work alongside apprentice welders. This is a great opportunity for students who are interested in entering the workforce directly after graduation.

A big thank you to the St. Mary Volunteer Fire Department for generously donating these tools to our Law & Public Safety Program for use with the breaching door. We also want to recognize our Carpentry and Drafting Programs for their great work on the custom case and plaque.

Emergency services students practiced accurate medication measurements and safely administering IM injections. These essential skills build confidence, precision, and readiness for real-life emergency situations. #thisisCTE #handsonlearning




Career & Technical Education (CTE) isn’t just an option - it’s the solution.
When we invest in hands-on learning, we invest in our workforce, our economy, and our future. CTE works. 💪⚙️

Happy New Year from Mid-Ohio Valley Technical Institute! 🎆

Merry Christmas from all of us at Mid-Ohio Valley Technical Institute!

🎄✨It’s Christmas Eve, and it’s time for Mistletoe and Max to head back to the North Pole.
Before leaving, they sent their final report to Santa🎅… and we’re happy to share that MOVTI made the nice list! 📋✔️
Thank you for welcoming our little holiday helpers into your classrooms, shops, and offices this season. They had a blast learning about our programs, spreading cheer, and keeping an eye on everyone’s hard work.
Safe travels, Mistletoe and Max and Merry Christmas from all of us at MOVTI! ✨🎄

Max (aka Mr. Haught) was hard at work today sharing his favorite dad-level weather wisdom:
“Red sky at night, shepherds’ delight; red sky in the morning, shepherds take warning.” 🌅😄
Meanwhile, Mistletoe (aka Mrs. Bunch) skipped the folklore and checked the actual Christmas Eve forecast on her laptop. 💻❄️
Old sayings vs. modern tech… we’ll see who’s right! 😉

🎄With students and teachers on break, Mistletoe and Max decided it was their turn to keep the morning tradition alive... coffee with coworkers in the kitchen.☕
Max caught up on the “news” while enjoying his cup, and Mistletoe took a well-deserved seat to sip and relax. Even elves know a good day starts with coffee!

🔧🎄 Mistletoe and Max paid a visit to Industrial Equipment Maintenance today and wasted no time pushing buttons on the shaft alignment trainer.
Mistletoe was clearly in charge of quality control (from the toolbox, of course), while Max took over the touchscreen like a seasoned technician.
If anything ends up perfectly aligned tomorrow… we’ll just assume the elves had something to do with it. 😉

Pre-Engineering & Drafting students collaborated with Mr. Becker (Carpentry instructor) to design and build a MOVTI Christmas tree for Pleasants County's Community of Trees Celebration - from just a photo! Welding students helped out by welding the internal rod and creating the MOVTI star. Go check it out at the Pleasants County Family Support Center's 2nd Annual Community of Trees Celebration. Admission is free!
