Law & Public Safety students designed and competed in an obstacle course that blended relevant skill sets with a workout. This challenged their skills under stress and helped them to identify what they need to work on. This partner course had a sandbag carry, medicine ball toss, door breach, a run, a dummy carry, applying a tourniquet and making a radio call.

Computer Repair's September Community Week was a success, with 12 devices brought in for repairs. This event not only helped us serve the community but also provided valuable hands-on experience for our students.
Comments from happy customers included:
"Helped me out with problems"
"I was greeted by very friendly staff and shown where to go, where I met the students and the instructor. They immediately introduced themselves and let me know my 2 laptops were going to be ok, although I kind of doubted that because they were in bad shape. BUT THEY FIXED THEM PERFECT!!! These are like 2 brand new laptops, I AM AMAZED!!! This was such a lifesaver for me because I need my laptops for school and now I can use them. THANK YOU!!!!!!!"
"Got my computer system back up and running fast! It was really sluggish, and they did a great job bringing it back to life! And it was done in no time!"
Our MOVTI ghosts and ghouls are busy getting ready for the big event next week! We have a very exciting evening planned so be sure to get dressed up and come see us! Tuesday, October 22. Gates open at 5:00!

MOVTI's EMT students participated in their first simulated emergency call today, responding to an unconscious person in a bathroom. They assessed the scene, communicated effectively, and practiced essential skills like airway management and CPR. It was a valuable learning experience that reinforced teamwork and preparedness. Looking forward to more training ahead. #EMTTraining
