Metro Career Academy at Metro Technology Centers’ Springlake campus opened in April to serve students that need assistance beyond the traditional educational environment. MCA serves students, 15 years and older, and families that must overcome barriers to achieve high school diplomas and career training.

Two Oklahoma technology center programs received recognition at the national Project Lead the Way conference. They are Tulsa Technology Center’s Pre-Engineering Education and Red River Technology Center’s BioMedical Sciences Education.

Northeast Academy, Oklahoma City, was named a National Academy of Engineering program. Northeast offers Gateway to Technology for middle school students and a Pre-Engineering Academy for high school students. Northeast Academy, the first Oklahoma school to receive this status, partners with Metro Technology Centers to offer these classes.

In February the Skills Centers Division celebrated its 40th anniversary and honored former legislator Jim E. Hamilton, who was instrumental in establishing the Skills Centers School System and its first program at Hodgen.

Two technology centers were among six organizations receiving awards from the Oklahoma Quality Award Foundation. Metro Technology Centers received the Award of Excellence, the highest honor given by the foundation. Southern Oklahoma Technology Center received the Oklahoma Quality Award for Commitment. Awards may be given annually at each of three levels: Commitment, Achievement, and Excellence. Manufacturing, service, health care, education and government organizations are eligible for the awards.

In February the Oklahoma State Board of Career and Technology Education approved annexation of two school districts to technology center districts: Cherokee School District to Northwest Technology Center District and Rush Springs School District to Canadian Valley Technology Center District.

The Project Lead The Way 2010 Innova Imagination Award was given to three students nationwide for their work on brilliant Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics-related projects demonstrating high degrees of critical thinking and imaginative problem solving. Gordon Cooper Technology Center Pre-Engineering student, Oscolla Condulle, received one of these national awards and was recognized in Washington, D.C., for his “asteroid anchoring” concept.

To meet the needs for emergency preparedness and health provider training throughout Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education in partnership with Kiamichi Technology Center has created the Disaster Recovery and Emergency Training Simulator Unit. The unit will be operational by Jan. 1, 2012.

Funds from the Tobacco Cessation Grant at the Oklahoma State Department of Health and lottery proceeds for technology awarded to Kiamichi Technology Center through the ODCTE were used to develop a 40- by 8-foot trailer fitted with a mobile satellite, triage/classroom area and an ambulance simulator.

This unit is used for training emergency medical personnel and other healthcare providers as well as

on-site triage during Oklahoma manmade and natural disasters. The unit also provides mobile satellite

communications that allow simultaneous distance training at multiple sites/

campuses.

DISASTER RECOVERY AND EMERGENCY TRAINING SIMULATOR UNIT TO ROLL ACROSS STATE

DISASTER RECOVERY AND EMERGENCY TRAINING SIMULATOR UNIT TO ROLL ACROSS STATE“A shortage of healthcare workers is a major concern on state and national levels,” said Phil Berkenbile, state director of CareerTech. “Shrinking clinical training opportunities contribute to limited enrollment in education and training.

“This initiative addresses recommendations by the Governor’s Council on Workforce and Economic Development in its report on the healthcare industry workforce. The Council recommends increasing clinical experience and maximizing flexible educational methods such as simulated and virtual clinical learning labs,” said Berkenbile. “Advancing skills of healthcare workers also will assist in recruitment and retention.”

This custom trailer features six high-fidelity adult and pediatric human simulators and has the capacity for training 15 students at one time. Satellite communications equip the unit for distance education, and cameras are strategically placed for recording student performance for self-assessment, according to J. R. Polzien, program specialist, Health Careers Education.

“Clinical simulation validates both basic and complex skills through a variety of scenarios by

replicating common and uncommon patient conditions. Students participate in zero-risk settings to practice critical thinking skills, build confidence and improve competence,” said Polzien.

The unit features lifesaving equipmentincluding a heart monitor, c-collars, backboards and live oxygen administration

to help communities prepare for and respond to disasters. This mobile unit can also double as a triage unit.

Continuing education for all levels of healthcare and emergency care providers, including emergency medical services, paid and volunteer fire departments, hospitals and

related industries, can be offered through this unit.

The Disaster Recovery and Emergency Training Simulator Unit offers opportunities for training healthcare workers and can serve as a mobile triage unit during emergencies.

“We can provide specialized continuing education and refresher programs for EMS and fire department personnel, especially rural volunteer departments and responders who will not have to leave their communities for training,” said Polzien.

Polzien said the unit also will be able to assist communities, medical facilities and nursing homes in emergency evacuations.

For more information about the unit, visit okcareertech.org or contact Polzien atjpolz@okcareertech.org.

TECHNOLOGY CENTERS

Technology centers are continually working with business and industry partners to ensure their curriculum meets the needs of the workplace. Curriculum is geared toward individualized instruction with opportunities for hands-on experience. Many students participate in clinicals, internships and on-the-job training experiences to prepare for success in the world of work.

Each technology center is funded primarily through a local tax base. Some state and federal funds also are received. This provides technology centers the resources and flexibility to stay technologically current and meet the needs of local communities, businesses and industries. Each center is governed by a locally elected board of education and is part of the state’s CareerTech system.

Technology centers in Oklahoma offer high school students and adults opportunities to receive high-quality career and technology education through various options. Full-time and short-term education and training help individuals and businesses succeed in a competitive workforce environment. While high school students who live in a technology center district attend tuition-free, adult students living in a technology center district are charged nominal tuition. Technology center students frequently are able to earn college credit from colleges and universities. Oklahoma CareerTech students during the 2010-2011 academic year were enrolled in more than 77,683 college credit hours.

In FY11, 29 technology center districts operated on 57 campuses throughout the state, making services easily accessible to most Oklahomans. High school student enrollments in technology centers totaled 15,678. Adult enrollments in Career Majors, Industry-Specific Training, Adult and Career Development,and Training for Industry were 353,628.

Jim E. Hamilton, former legislator who was instrumental in the development of the Skills Centers, is shown at the Hodgen, Okla. campus. Hamilton was honored in April during the 40th anniversary of Skills Centers.

SKILLS CENTERS

Skills Centers Celebrate 40 Yearsof Restoring Lives, Families

Oklahoma CareerTech’s Skills Centers School System offers specialized, occupational training to adult and juvenile offenders throughout the state. In February the Skills Centers celebrated 40 years of preparing incarcerated individuals and offenders for success in the workplace and their communities.

Former state Sen. Jim E. Hamilton was honored at the anniversary in a ceremony held in the Governor’s Blue Room at the State Capitol. The Oklahoma State Board of Career and Technology Education also honored Hamilton at its board meeting at the Jim E. Hamilton Correctional Center, Hodgen.

Hamilton authored legislation to establish training for inmates through CareerTech in cooperation with the State Department of Corrections. In 1971 the first inmates arrived at a facility in Hodgen, Okla., operated as a sub-unit of the Oklahoma State Penitentiary at McAlester. It was the first inmate training facility in the United States offering vocational-technical training by a state CareerTech system. In 1998 the Board of Corrections approved renaming the facility to the Jim E. Hamilton Correctional Center.

Skills Centers have evolved from a few occupational training programs to a system offering many programs and services to adult and juvenile offenders, according to Dom Garrison, associate state director.

“Offenders with technical and academic skills are less likely to return to crime,” said Garrison. “In fact, 75 percent of Skills Centers program completers have not been re-incarcerated after five years. Last year CareerTech Skills Centers enrolled more than 1,400 in programs at juvenile facilities, community correction centers and state correctional facilities.”

Oklahoma CareerTech Skills Centers Offenders with technical and academic skills are less likely to return to crime. Studies show that 75 percent of completers released have not been re-incarcerated five years later.

Staff members at the Skills Centers work closely with WorkForce Oklahoma, local agencies, and faith- and community-based organizations to secure employment for released graduates.

More than 2,000 Skills Centers students have earned the Career Readiness Certificate, a recognized credential for work readiness.

Offenders are trained in several industry clusters, including Manufacturing, Transportation, Distribution and Logistics, Construction and Business Management and Administration. Skills Centers staff works closely with WorkForce Oklahoma, local agencies, and faith- and community-based organizations to secure employment for graduates upon their release.

Instructors are highly skilled professionals hired directly from industry who keep up to date on industry standards and practices. A vital component of the Skills Centers’ success is the relationship with industry representatives.

CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION HELPSADULTS, SCHOOL DROPOUTS COMPLETE HIGH SCHOOLDuring the 2010-2011 school year, CareerTech Skills Centers administered eight dropout recovery programs in Oklahoma. These programs served 480 females and 538 males for a total of 1,018 students. Of these students, 808 enrolled to pursue a high school diploma,and 30 enrolled to obtain a GED.

The majority of these students also enrolled in an occupational training program. Performance data indicated that, of the program completers, 373 earned a high school diploma, 16 earned a GED, 202 obtained employment, 29 entered the military, and 31 enrolled in postsecondary education. Prior to entering their junior year of high school,503 of these students had dropped out of school.

Industry partners not only hire Skills Centers graduates but also review and make recommendations for curriculum and specific training programs.

Since 2000 CareerTech Skills Centers have served 13,203 individuals. This includes DOC juvenile offenders and those in private correctional facilities. In cooperation with the Department of Commerce, offenders also have received credentials in work readiness by earning Career Readiness Certificates. As of June 30, 2,136 offenders have earned CRC credentials.

“Skills Centers focus on helping offenders transition back to their communities and into the workplace by teaching employability skills, such as resume creation, interviewing skills and job seeking skills,” said Garrison. “Life skills such as how to manage money, how to access community resources and how to obtain other support services also are taught in the Skills Centers.

“The Skills Centers philosophy is simple. Successful transition from school to the workplace can mean a life of success for the ex-offender. Life and employability skills are just as important as the career-specific training offenders receive,” Garrison said.
