Rabauliman, who is the institute\u2019s acting chief executive officer right now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe consider NMTI an integral part of the CNMI\u2019s workforce development strategy,\u201d said Joe E. Ayuyu, Jr., area supervisor of McDonald\u2019s Saipan. \u201cSince McDonald\u2019s is a community stakeholder, we would like to assist any way we can with pressing issues related to curbing our current workforce shortage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rabauliman said that NMTI is \u201cvery blessed\u201d to have educational sponsors that continue to work with them.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrades education continues to be challenging as it requires instructors that are skillful in teaching their respective professions. I firmly believe that our community is beginning to see the need for NMTI, thus the strong support from philanthropists like the Ayuyu family,\u201d he said.  <\/p>\n<p>The proceeds from this year\u2019s NMTI Gala will once again be used to buy equipment and student tools in the construction trades areas, which will give students greater hands-on experience before they move on to their various careers.  <\/p>\n<p>Gala tickets are priced at $100 per person and can be bought by calling Ross Manglona at (670) 322-6684 ross.nmticnmi@gmail.com.
