PHOENIX, AZ — National Technical Institute (NTI) recognized 103 graduates who completed HVAC, plumbing and electrical training at its Phoenix campus, marking the school's largest graduating class since opening the location. Family members, friends and instructors gathered July 10 at NTI's 10,000-square-foot Phoenix training facility to celebrate students completing the school's accelerated vocational programs. The graduating class included 37 HVAC students, 26 plumbing students and 37 electrical students. NTI said its campuses in Phoenix, Houston and Las Vegas are helping address those workforce shortages by preparing technicians who can contribute immediately after graduation. NTI offers 12- to 16-week certificate programs through in-person and hybrid instruction, with new classes beginning each month.
