Do you know where your nurse, cosmetologist, auto tech or favorite chef was trained? Most likely at Lorenzo Walker Institute of Technology. As a part of the public school system, Lorenzo Walker Institute is one of Collier County’s best kept secrets!
Lorenzo Walker Institute of Technology (LWIT) is a postsecondary school where the average student age is 28. Classes range from Aviation Mechanic to Surgical Technology training. LWIT is celebrating its 40th anniversary and has earned a reputation of excellence in the in the training programs provided. The qualifications of our teachers and accreditations and affiliations the school has established and maintain are beyond that required by most institutions.
Many students who come to LWIT are already college graduates; however, they may have difficulty finding a job in their college degree area. LWIT not only provides excellent hands-on training, the training is in high demand areas like nursing, aviation mechanic,
auto tech and more.
The programs are very reasonable in cost and financial aid is available for those who qualify.
Another wonderful LWIT feature is the services students provide to the public to practice their various skills. Community members are the beneficiaries of facials, massages, nail c
are and computer repair and other services at a very low cost. This provides practice to our students so they can walk into their chosen occupation and be well prepared.
Statistically, we know that over 85% of our students stay in Collier County after they graduate to become the employees who fix your car, cut your hair, and prepare outstanding meals for you in restaurants.
