Cars using alternative fuel – natural gas, electricity, propane, biofuel – are the wave of the future, but they’re going to need qualified technicians to maintain them.

Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education’s technology centers are stepping in to provide workers both to convert vehicles to alternative fuels and to service them.

Two of the state’s technology centers teach students to work on vehicles using alternative fuel, and a third technology center plans to add a program.

Autry Technology Center in Enid and Tulsa Technology Center both offer alternative fuel training programs. Kiamichi Technology Center recently upgraded the automotive facilities at its Poteau campus so it can go ahead with alternative fuel training as soon as funding allows.

“Any time there’s big news or developments about CNG, we see an increase in interest and enrollment. There’s a lot of buzz on the streets and many questions,” said Melissa Jenlink, Autry Technology Center director of communications and marketing. “Autry saw a big interest when OnCue opened its CNG station in Enidin January.”

Autry offers a program that teaches the basics of compressed natural gas installation in vehicles and prepares students to take the state alternative fuel technician natural gas vehicle certification test.Students who have already achieved the technicianlevel in auto mechanics can take the certification testat the end of the class.

The technology center has seen approximately a300 percent increase in CNG training in the last three years, Jenlink said, adding that Autry is exploring the possibility of two other courses: gaseous fuels and inspections and an installation class.

O K L A H O M A’ S T E C H N O LO G Y C E N T E R S R I D E T H E A LT E R N AT I V E F U E L WAV ETulsa Tech’s program goes beyond CNG to also include propane, electric, hybrid and biofuel vehicles. Seventeen students enrolled in the full-time program in 2011-12, the first year Tulsa Tech offered the program, said Leo Van Delft, Tulsa Tech transportation program coordinator. Pre-enrollment for 2012-13 is about the same, he added.

Tulsa Tech started its alternative fuel programs with short-term classes to prepare students to take the state CNG technician test, Van Delft said.

“The demand for the short-term CNG technician certification has been consistent,” he said. “Marketing the full-time program has evolved as student recruiters have developed a better understanding of the program and the job opportunities for students and canbetter explain them.”

The technology center plans to add a CNG tank inspection short-term course.

“We also offer customized onsite training through our Business and Industry Services division and have provided CNG technician certification

prep training for several local companies, including Crane Carrier, Tulsa Transit and CASECO Manufacturing,” Van Delft said.

Students completing the full-time program are prepared to take the

national Automotive Service Excellence CNG technician certification, which includes

electrical and engine performance.

Kiamichi Technology Center’s Poteau campus is joining Tulsa Tech and Autry in alternative fuels training programs because of the growing market for CNG, said instructor Lonnie Prewitt.

The technology center hopes to begin its program, focusing on CNG, in spring or

fall 2013, said Doug Hall, Poteau/Spiro campus director.

Randy Catlett, left, and Ed Daniels, students in Tulsa Technology Center’s alternative fuels program, examine CNG automotive components.

The program will train students “to retrofit, maintain or repair CNG systems to the state guidelines,” Prewitt explained. After completing the program, the students will be able to take the state CNG technician certification test.

Although the program will initially focus on CNG, Prewitt said he will obtain other certifications or licenses if needed to improve the program.

ODCTE Technical Program Supervisor John Day said he expects more technology centers to join the effort to teach students to work on alternative fuel vehicles.

“During the next year, I fully expect to see a sharp incline of schools offering this type of training throughout our state due to the strengthened natural gas vehicle industry and infrastructure as well as increased natural gas production,” he said.

Technology centers are continually working with business and industry partners to ensure their curricula meet 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. Technology centers also receive some state and federal funds. 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 2011-12 academic year were enrolled in more than 76,000 college credit hours.

In FY12, 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 16,348. Adult enrollments in Career Majors, Industry-Specific Training, Adult and Career Development and Training for Industrywere 375,534.

Skills Centers

Skills Centers students at Mabel Bassett Correctional Center prepare for careers inthe residential and commercial electrical industry.

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 2,800 Skills Centers students have earned the Career Readiness Certificate, a recognized credential for work readiness.

DID YOU KNOW . . .

Oklahoma CareerTech’s Skills Centers School System offers specialized, occupational training to adult and juvenile offenders throughout the state.

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.

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 14,447 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 Sept. 19, 2,807 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 Dom Garrison, associate state director. “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.”

In the past 10 years, more than 24,000 people from military active duty, Reserve and Guard units based in Oklahoma have been deployed overseas. Many returned to find no job waiting for them—or they came home with a desire to change careers, but without the necessary skills or certifications to do so.

CareerTech is helping former and current members of the U.S. military, including the National Guard and Reserves, transition to civilian employment with the Oklahoma Military to Employment Transition Initiative.

“Unemployment trends reveal a statistically higher number of unemployed veterans in Oklahoma compared to their peers from the same demographic,” said Levi Valdois, CareerTech military liaison and coordinator of military initiatives. “Many sources credit the higher unemployment numbers to a disconnect between the jobs they performed in the military and the skills they acquired and civilian employment.”

The initiative is designed to consider what service members did in the military and the skills they learned and offer fast-track certification for high-demand industry jobs that align with those military duties and skills. Military personnel will also gain access to educational opportunities at local technology centers. Industries targeted by the initiative include manufacturing; business and information technology; truck driver licensing, particularly in energy; and construction.

CareerTech will identify certifications and requirements for high-priority jobs and determine whether a fast-track program is realistic; provide technical assistance and guidance to staff, teachers and administrators concerning military information and initiatives; serve as a liaison with other state agencies and military partners; and support the agency’s mission of helping Oklahoma’s military-affiliated residents to succeed in the workplace, education and life.

CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION HELPS ADULTS, SCHOOL DROPOUTS COMPLETE HIGH SCHOOLIn 2011-12, the CareerTech Skills Centers administered nine dropout recovery programs at 11 technology center campuses across Oklahoma. These programsserved 511 females and 515 males for a total of 1,026 students. Of these students, 960 enrolled to pursue high school diplomas and 66 enrolled to obtain GEDs.Most of these students also enrolled in occupational training programs.

Performance data indicates that of the program completers, 388 earned a highschool diploma, 44 earned GEDs, 260 obtained employment, 26 entered themilitary, and 79 enrolled in postsecondary education. Before entering their junior years of high school, 537 of these students had dropped out of school.

In addition, CareerTech will help technology centers meet the requirements of Senate Bill 1863, signed into law in 2012 by Gov. Mary Fallin. The new law mandates that Oklahoma’s technology centers create policies for recognizing military education, training and experience and apply them toward military members and veterans’ plans of study.

“Essentially, we are assisting our veterans and military members because it is the right thing to do,” Valdois said. “Our military installations and veterans have an enormous impact on the economy in Oklahoma and throughout the nation. Our military population can continue to have an impact by working for and with our partners in business across the state of Oklahoma as they complete their service to not only the state of Oklahoma but our country as a whole.”

CareerTech SalutesBerkenbile

Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education State Director Phil Berkenbile has devoted more than 36 years to career and technology education in Oklahoma.

He began working in CareerTech when it was still called vo-tech, starting his career as an agricultural education teacher in Morrison Public Schools. He spent 16 years on the front lines of the CareerTech System before moving to the state agency.

At ODCTE, he’s served as agricultural education northwest district supervisor, curriculum specialist and assistant supervisor; associate state director; chief of staff; interim director; and, of course, state director, a position he’s held since January 2004.

His only break from CareerTech took him back to Morrison, but not out of education. From 1995 to 1999, Berkenbile served as Morrison Public Schools superintendent before coming back to ODCTE.

During his tenure as state director, Berkenbile has seen extensive changes in education and the economy. Oklahoma industries, facing worker shortages, have sought a source for a highly skilled workforce, and he has led CareerTech in providing it.

CareerTech embraced National Career Clusters to provide students a strong pathway to careers; created Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics academies; and developed online opportunities for students and staff.

Berkenbile led the agency in reorganizing staff responsibilities and reducing expenditures to meet reductions in state budgets during Oklahoma’s recent lean years. At the same time, enrollments in technology centers have grown and almost half of Oklahoma high school students are enrolled in CareerTech courses.

After 40 years in education – most of it in CareerTech, Berkenbile decided it was time to hang up his hat and move into a new stage in his life: retirement.

He announced in June 2012 he will retire in 2013. CareerTech salutes Berkenbile for his unwaivering commitment to all those served by this great system.
