http://www.okcareertech.org/news/video/stop-the-bullying-start-a-movement-2
Business Professional of America students from Eastern Oklahoma County Technology Center, Choctaw, bring home national gold.Jeremiah Bias and Matthew Sheppard, Eastern Oklahoma County Technology Center's Video Production Team, earned the highest of honors at the 2012 National BPA Conference held in Chicago for their portrayal of the realities of bullying.
The team was challenged with creating a three to five minute video titled “Stop the Bullying, Start a Movement.” The short film chronicles the life of a young lady, who ultimately ends her life as a result of bullying.
Though the story is a work of fiction, the power behind the message rings true in families around the world. The closing sequence shows the alarming statistics of 1 in every 7 students are victims of bullying. That is a staggering 7,716,600 students in the U.S. alone that are affected by bullies.
Bias and Sheppard provide a powerful look into what many young people deal with on a daily basis.

WorkKeys and Oklahoma Career Readiness Certificate. Hiring the right employee with the right skills for the right job at the right time . . . every time.

"Before 2008, turnover was 96 percent at entry level. Half of the new hires were let go during the 60-day probationary period or quit within a year. Now, after three years of using WorkKeys profiles and Career Readiness Certificates during the hiring process, turnover is 16 percent. We now require it. This is just good business. Now, when we hire five employees, we keep five.
And, they move up!"

"Our success depends on a workforce that is able to adapt to change and operate in a manufacturing and distribution environment that thrives on lean leadership principles. It is more imperative than ever to make sure we’re hiring the best candidates in the marketplace. Thanks to the Career Readiness Certificate we’ve experienced higher morale, lower turnover, increased productivity, and decreased quality issues."

The hiring process is like putting a puzzle together. And, hiring is costly. WorkKeys is an important piece to that puzzle. The more assessments and information we can gather before hiring an employee gives us the best possible opportunity for success in the workplace. WorkKeys is our primary means to screen and choose applicants that we feel have the basic skills to learn the job.

OG&E wants employees who can transition from one job to another, so we invest in our people and our training programs. WorkKeys assessments help us find the right applicants for open positions. We know the scores and ability ratings for applicants who have their Career Readiness Certificate. That knowledge reduces the training time for the new employee. And time is money.

Our prior intake process for hiring was at the plant where volume was high and applicant quality unknown. The WorkKeys Job Profiling process and applicant's Career Readiness Certificate gave us the knowledge we needed on basic skill requirements. The quantity of applicants has decreased slightly and confidence in the quality of the applicants has solidified. We encourage employers to utilize this process to identify quality candidates and better understand the skills needed for any job in your organization.

http://www.okcareertech.org/news/video/oklahoma-horizon-tv-show/careertech-related-tv-show-videos/first-robotics-2012-1
This year's national FIRST Robotics challenge allows six weeks to build a robot that shoots hoops and rolls over bridges. The regional competition held in Oklahoma City is the last weekend in March. More than 50 teams of high school students from Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas competed March 29-31 at the Regional FIRST Robotics competition at the Cox Convention Center, Oklahoma City. FIRST, For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, is a multinational competition that pairs professionals and young people to solve an engineering design problem and compete.
This year's competition, Rebound Rumble, is a robotics game played between two Alliances of three teams each. Each Alliance competes by trying to score as many of the basketballs in the hoops as possible during the 2-minute and 15-second match. Balls scored in higher hoops score Alliances more points. Alliances are awarded bonus points if they are balanced on bridges at the end of the match. Winning necessitates cooperation among teams that have never met before.
Teams of students and their mentors have six weeks to design and build a robot from a standard kit of parts to compete at FIRST regional events under the principles of "gracious professionalism."
"Eighteen teams have ties to CareerTech programs," according to Tina Fugate, STEM and academic specialist, Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education. "FIRST Robotics is a great opportunity for students in our Pre-Engineering Academies to put their knowledge and skills to use."
The goal of Oklahoma CareerTech STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education is to nurture creative students who are problem solvers, innovators, inventors, logical thinkers, strong communicators and who excel in the areas of math and science.CareerTech STEM initiatives include Pre-Engineering, Biomedical, Biotech and Technology Engineering.
FIRST was founded by Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway, in order to inspire an appreciation of science and technology in young people. The organization designs accessible, innovative programs to build self-confidence, knowledge and life skills while motivating young people to pursue opportunities in STEM.
