Your Sound Investment Our Solid Return

MNTC is committed to fiscal accountability as we strive to achieve our strategic goals for students and clients. A recent way we have realized this goal is by paying off the South Penn Campus in February of 2013. This $12.9 million-dollar project required semi-annual payments that began in 2002. This 11-year financial accomplishment can only be attributed to the dedication MNTC has to its students, clients, and partner communities of Norman, Moore, and south Oklahoma City. Tremendous accomplishments such as this are truly your sound investment as a taxpayer in our district, and it is our solid return and commitment to each of you as stakeholders.

District Perspective
Oklahomas network of technology centers provides an option for career and technical education that is both industry and community-focused. It is the responsibility of technology centers to use taxpayer funds to educate, train, and develop a strong workforce that enhances economic development in our state, and we are obligated to improve the quality of life for all Oklahomans. MNTC offers clients and students classroom and lab space, and exposure to the same high-end equipment and tools used in industry right now. MNTCs average student-to-teacher ratio for career major classes is 24.6:1. Since our doors opened in 1976, weve provided technical training to high school students, adults, and business clients, and our customer base continues to evolve. For example, MNTC is unique in its ability to provide customized programs and services that support the growth of community businesses. As a result, businesses and companies considering relocating to Moore, Norman, or south Oklahoma City turn to MNTC for their training and consulting in areas such as employee development, safety, organizational development, and international quality standards.

Average earnings increase in current dollars

In 2004, MNTCs Administration worked with former Oklahoma State University economist Dr. Mark Sneed to examine the impact that MNTC graduates have on our local economy. Dr. Sneeds findings confirmed what we've known for years: MNTC graduates positively impact, and significantly increase Oklahomas economy. The Sneed Report shows that a graduate from one of MNTCs full-time career major classes will have more than $155,000 added in current dollars to his or her future earnings. When Dr. Sneed adjusted these numbers for inflation, he found that the added income for an MNTC graduate is between $350,000 and $400,000 over that persons lifetime. Each year, MNTCs graduating class is projected to increase Oklahomas economy by more than $104 million. This includes the total, direct, indirect, and induced earnings for the state, while also taking into account expected out-migration by MNTC graduates. In FY12, 712 MNTC students earned a total of 6,642 hours of college credit. These credits may be applied toward associate degree programs through our Cooperative Alliance Agreements with local colleges and universities. Our Business & Industry Services (BIS) division assisted 542 businesses in the areas of Computer Technology Solutions, Customized Industry Training, Safety/ Environmental Training, Quality Management Systems, Business & Team Development, Small Business Management, and Strategic Planning. MNTC students sat for 636 industry competency exams with a 87.9% pass rate during the FY11 school year.

Elevating Oklahoma
In spring of 2013, Dr. Sneed finalized a report for the State Department of CareerTech about the economic impact that our graduates have across the state. During the 2010-2011 school year 16,075 adult and high school students completed a career major course in Oklahoma. These graduates will earn 20 percent more than workers with only a high school diploma. Research shows that career-based training provides faster entry into the labor force for young workers, and increases the likelihood of them becoming a professional or manager. Graduates of a technical school have higher labor force participation rates, and experience lower rates of unemployment than those with only a high school diploma. Over their working lifetime, these graduates can expect to add more then $475,000 to lifetime earnings relative to additional
10

education beyond high school. As a result of training these 16,075 CareerTech graduates, and adjusting for out-migration, approximately $1.84 billion of added income is estimated to be earned within Oklahoma. The added sales and income taxes paid directly by CareerTech graduates to state and local government is estimated at $137 million, or more than $8,500 per graduate.

STRATEGIC PLANNING

MNTC Core Planning Team

Planning for our preferred future

During the fall of 2012, MNTCs administrative team invited stakeholders in its district of Moore, Norman, and south Oklahoma City to become active members of a new Strategic Planning initiative. The goal of this new Core Planning Team is to help move Moore Norman Technology Center toward a preferred future. The drive behind this organizational endeavor is to engage local community partners who are leaders in business and education, and create an environment where they can grow as ambassadors for MNTC. We also want them to serve as consultants and guides for us as we continue to grow within their communities. We want these community partners to help us achieve our strategic goals, and also have them encourage us to remain focused on the organizations mission. We believe that accountability is the best way to accomplish both of these goals, and our Core Planning Team is able to help us measure our success. Utilizing the Core Planning Teams guidance, MNTC can also be confident and purposeful about how we enhance the products and services we offer to our students and clients related to career readiness, industry certifications, and sound business solutions. Members from the community serving on the Core Planning Team are: Joan Barker, Roger Brown, Glen Cosper, Kathey Drummond, Deidre Ebrey, Charles Hollingsworth, Suzy Hurt, Tim Lashar, Walt Morris, Brian Rice and Lamecia Stidham.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY BUILDING

In the fall of 2012 the Norman, Moore, and South Oklahoma City chambers of commerce helped us officially open our newest facility, which is a unique addition to our district.

MNTC has earned the Oklahoma Association of Technology Centers Gold Star School Award for seven years consecutively, from 2003-2009. This annual application-based award recognizes technology center districts that have met rigid and demanding criteria demonstrating a high level of excellence. This voluntary program provides recognition to districts with exemplary programs designed to meet a broad spectrum of community needs.

MNTC Foundation
The MNTC Foundation provides financial assistance to students who, without which, might otherwise be unable to complete their education. Because of financial gifts from businesses and individuals in the community, and the monetary donations from employers of our students, the MNTC Foundation is able to offer financial assistance to students to help them achieve their educational goals. MNTC Foundation trustees include 12 individuals who represent businesses and industries within the communities we serve.

CONTINUING EDUCATION
A Tuition Enhancement Program is available for all full-time employees, encouraging them to pursue higher education degrees. MNTCs parttime classes are available free-of-charge to employees in order to help them further refine their professional skills.

Steven Dwyer Precision Machining

MNTC graduate, 2012 Military veteran, Iraq War Utilized his G.I. Bill for tuition Works full-time as a certified Precision Machinist Hopes to become a machine shop entrepreneur

"I want to work in the medical field because I love working with people and helping. The fact that I'm bilingual makes me more marketable in this industry, too. Im the first in my family to go to college and to become industry certified; Im proud of myself for actually doing this, and I want to make my family proud, too."

I enjoy every step of the machining process, from dissecting a complicated schematic, to deciding what tools I need to make a part. Its like DaVinci sculpting, but with a much higher tolerance and faster turnaround. Figuring out a career path may take some searching, but it is possible to find the right fit. I found the right fit for me.
