About Midway Training Services

Midway Training Services (MTS) was started in 1965 by a group of parents who were concerned about the lack of day training and employment services for their adult children who had disabilities. Setting up shop in St. Paul’s Midway area, these parents volunteered in operating all facets of the new organization. Since that humble beginning, MTS has grown to provide support to over 250 people who have a variety of abilities and disabling conditions.

The original vision and philosophy of its founding members continues today. MTS motivates, trains and supports persons with disabilities in their quest to become active, contributing and productive members of their communities.
