HISTORY

WHO WE ARE
WHAT WE DO



In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it.

- ROBERT HEINLEIN

 

WHAT WE ARE

Mechanics' Institute is firmly committed to the belief that by optimizing students' skills in their respective trades we provide a tangible benefit to the students and their employers, as well as enhance their roles as productive members of society. Instructors at Mechanics' Institute, some of whom are graduates of the School, are inspired to teach out of personal pride in their trades and an earnest desire to pass on their experience and skills to others. It is for this reason that Mechanics' Institute has long been recognized as a traditional meeting ground where motivated men and women can develop and enhance their abilities under the guidance of accomplished tradesmen. In achieving these goals, we gain the satisfaction of helping fill the critical needs of all who directly and indirectly reap the rewards of our training - the graduate; the industry; and the society of which we are all a part.

MISSION STATEMENT:

Mechanics' Institute historic existence is founded on the belief that education is the key to life's success. Our Steadfast conviction is built on our commitment to help those who are willing to help themselves. To this end we are dedicated to:

-preparing the foundation for those willing to rise;
-providing the ladeer for those willing to climb;
-and to fueling the spirits of those willing to soar.
