MTI also collaborates with Cameron Young and the Vocational Training Program at Kenmare High School to train and employ students. The program has been valuable to both MTI and the community. Community involvement has been an important aspect of MTI, according to Hanson. The more people employed in a community, the more involvement there will be. MTI and its employees contribute directly to some community events and programs, including the Ambulance Fund, the Gift of Love, and the Swimming Pool Fund.
Families are a priority for the company, too.
Time off for concerts and games has never been a problem. Day care had been an issue for many employees and, thus, a concern for the company. Hanson believes both MTI and Kenmare can grow in the future through their mutual relationship. I d like to see more of that, something smaller that people can rent or buy. A marketing firm like MTI was a new and different type of business for Kenmare residents to accept four years ago, but its rapid growth and success indicate it will continue to be a significant player in the local economy.
