The document discusses partnerships between career technology centers and associate degree granting institutions in Oklahoma. It summarizes that for students unable to meet the rigor of academic programs, transferring them to career tech facilities allows training in technical career paths within engineering fields. It outlines differences between vocational/career tech programs focused on entry-level job preparation versus technology centers that align academics with industry-focused career pathways and support continuing education. Cooperative alliance programs allow high school and adult students to earn college credit for career tech courses. Benefits discussed include increased degree attainment, higher wages, and more Oklahomans staying in-state upon graduation.
