Professional Development
Beyond our numerous online community benefits, MTI provides ample opportunities for members to network and engage in face-to-face events and collaborative projects geared towards finding solutions to today’s industry challenges. Hundreds of knowledgeable members and subject matter experts have attended our niche roundtables, global TAC meetings, educational training sessions, seminars and facility tours.
These professional development solutions are often custom-designed for members and focussed on specific industry challenges and topics. Our roundtables feature expert speakers, discussions, technical presentations and brainstorming sessions. MTI projects are often developed as a response to event topics and discussions.
Our members have the ability to select, scope and lead projects conducted by others, leading to unique leadership opportunities to become TAC Representatives, Project Champions (PC) or even serve on the Board of Directors (BOD). The representatives of member companies who participate in MTI activities, particularly those who choose to take on leadership roles, help raise the knowledge base among diverse plant staff and often become in-house experts for materials technology solutions.
MTI also awards two scholarships a year to talented young engineers, enabling existing members to connect with high-potential developing engineers and young engineers to network with industry experts and access decades of MTI resources.
