From our Director
Greetings MBIT Community!
I am thrilled to welcome you all back to school. Last year we saw many firsts at MBIT; record interest in our programs, record National Technical Honor Society inductions, the issuance of a provisional patent for our Collapsible Hide Tumbler invented in our Engineering Related Technology program, to a nationally-recognized career fair with the Home Builders Association of Bucks and Montgomery Counties, we are coming off of a terrific year. As we approach 2023-2024, we look forward to the opportunities the year will bring.
In addition, Career and Technical Education is experiencing growth and renewed interest across the country. At Middle Bucks Institute of Technology, we strive to be best in class career and technical education. We hope to accomplish this through high quality career and technical programming, real-world experiences, and opportunities to engage with our business and industry partners.

Summer with Our Co-Op Students!
Important Industry Connections
Our Work-Based Education Coordinators, Mrs. Pamela Swoyer and Mr. Steve Guinan, visited MBIT Co-Op students this summer. As you can tell they were very busy and we are so proud of all of them!
Work-Based Education Experiences include:
Shadowing: Worksite visitation and an opportunity to meet and observe technical and professional employees and business owners in the student's chosen field.
Clinical Experiences: Non-paid, work-based experiences in hospitals, long term care facilities, day care centers, preschools, salons, restaurants, specialty stores, etc.
Internships: Paid and non-paid work-based experiences for a specified length of time.
Apprenticeships: Program related experiences that allow students to earn while they learn and work towards a journeyperson's certification. These experiences are registered through the Federal Department of Labor and the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training.
Capstone Experiences: Program related placements that are paid, on-the-job training positions and are considered an extension of the classroom. The timeline for placement is individualized and based on student need. Students are trained under the direct supervision of the employer and are assigned a mentor. Students' progress is monitored and evaluated by the school and the employer on a continual basis.
Job/Career Placement Services: Based on the student’s career goals, MBIT provides job placement services to help meet individual needs and interests. Placement rates for MBIT graduates have been excellent and historically exceeded 90% for those students who desire and actively pursue job or college placement.
MBIT is committed to the placement of all successful students.
