Student Organizations
MTI Ambassadors
An Ambassador program was started at MTI the fall of 1998. One
purpose of this group is to make visitors feel welcome and to take
them, individually or in small groups, on campus tours. The MTI Ambassadors
are nominated by MTI staff and selected based on their ability
to get along with others, their willingness to participate, and
their outgoing personality. Nominations for this group are ongoing.

SkillsUSA
 SkillsUSA is a national organization that serves trade, industrial,

to developing a well-rounded education by enhancing leadership,
citizenship, safety, and skill training. Members compete on regional,
state, and national levels in their skill areas. The instructors

in this student organization.
The SkillsUSA contests are the most important opportunity for students to demonstrate their skills while they are still in school.

National Technical Honor Society
 The National Technical Honor Society is an honor organization
for students who achieve outstanding success in vocational-technical
education. It is America's foremost scholastic honor for excellence in workforce education. Fewer than two percent of America's secondary and post-secondary students are nominated for membership into this prestigious organization. At Manatee Technical Institute, students are nominated by their instructors and a ceremony is held annually to induct new members.
Multicultural Club
Students of many nationalities make up the Multicultural Club; membership is open to any MTI student interested in celebrating other cultures and supporting the club's cause. The club's primary objective is to give scholarships to members who want to further their education at MTI when they don't qualify for other help. The members support each other by sharing information about educational opportunities; they give back to the MTI community through campus service projects; and they raise scholarship money through various multicultural celebrations and events throughout the year.
