The National Technical Institute (NTI) recently announced it has expanded its training program to Reno-Sparks, Nev. The 8,000-sq-ft training campus was built to train 400 recent high school graduates, veterans, and career changers annually in industries such as electrical, HVAC, and plumbing.

NTI signed a 10-year lease and has already begun renovating its space in a former big box store located in Sparks. Over the next three months, NTI will develop purpose-built classrooms equipped with cutting-edge trade technology, individual training stations, and dynamic curriculum with hands-on programming to get students career-ready upon graduation. Applications open in September with the first classes starting in November. 

This marks the fifth NTI location, with campuses currently operating in Las Vegas, Houston, and Phoenix. Experienced contractors train and mentor students to become HVAC, plumbing, and electrical technicians using contractor-driven, hands-on curriculum with options for hybrid learning through the Fusion Training program. NTI also partners with contracting companies to build specialized training programs that refine employee expertise.
