About Us

Midwest Technical Institute History

Midwest Technical Institute is a year-round school providing vocational training in mechanical trades and allied health career fields where job growth is expected.

MTI was founded in 1995 in Lincoln, Illinois. Since opening its doors, MTI has achieved many milestones, including receiving national accreditation for its course offerings, and expanding our programs and courses beyond the original welding program. For more information about our history, visit our Springfield, IL campus history page.

MTI has always taken great pride in touching the lives of students by giving them the hands-on workforce training they need to be successful. After over twenty years and thousands of students, that goal has remained the same.

For more information on MTI's history, check out this episode of Imagine America Radio with MTI co-founders Brian Huff and Mike Casper, who discuss their journey from welders to school owners.

Midwest Technical Institute Mission Statement

Our mission is to offer workforce training that will provide graduates with the skills necessary to gain entry-level employment in their chosen field.
