We ❤️ Career & Technical Education!
From skilled trades and healthcare to IT, public safety, and beyond, CTE prepares students with hands-on experience, real-world skills, and a direct path to relevant careers. Celebrate with us all month long as we shine a spotlight on the students, instructors, and programs at our tech center.

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!

Mistletoe and Max spent some time in the Drafting program today getting hands-on with the 3D printer. Of course, they couldn’t resist creating a little Christmas magic! ✨
From festive decorations to tiny holiday trees, these elves proved that creativity and technology go hand in hand. Safe to say the North Pole would definitely approve of this setup! 🎅🎁

Law & Public Safety students recently organized a food drive competition to support local food pantries and help feed families in need this holiday season.
Each program was challenged to collect the most donated items per student in the program and all donations were split evenly and will be distributed to food pantries across the four counties served by MOVTI.
Thank you to all the students who participated and helped make a positive impact in our communities!

Last week, MOVTI’s graphic design and multimedia students had the pleasure of welcoming Jared Thompson, Professor of Digital Media Design at West Liberty University!
Jared spent time reviewing WLU's program offerings before leading a fun, hands-on activity with each group. Our multimedia students especially enjoyed participating in a light painting portraiture activity and the results were absolutely amazing!
Thank you, Jared, for sharing your expertise and creativity with our students!







Today’s adventure took Mistletoe and Max into the information technology classroom, where they decided the best way to learn was to completely tear apart a computer. 😆
Mistletoe carefully examined the parts like a seasoned IT pro, while Max grabbed the screwdriver and went straight to work. Whether they’re upgrading RAM or just seeing what happens when you push buttons… these elves are fully committed to hands-on learning! 🔧💻
Let’s just hope they can manage to put it back together correctly...

Mr. Haught searched everywhere for Mistletoe and Max this morning and finally found them tucked away in the diesel shop where they were fast asleep after all the mischief they caused on yesterday. ❄️😄
Even the busiest elves need a little rest after spreading holiday cheer (and chaos). Don’t worry… they’ll be back on the job in the next program soon! 🎄✨

Mrs. Knight stepped away from her desk for ONE MINUTE, and that was all the time Mistletoe and Max needed to take over the office's door control system.
Mistletoe monitored the screen like a professional door attendant, while Max stood outside striking poses for the camera. 😂🎄
Don’t worry… they didn’t let anyone in without proper ID. 😉
