Tulsa Based Career College-Community Care College-Student Wk

Student Appreciation Cook-out Uses Smoker made by Oklahoma Technical College's Welding Students. Community Care College, Clary Sage College, and Oklahoma Technical College dedicate May 3rd – 7th as Student Appreciation Week. All week, students will be surprised with snacks, special events, and giveaways. "This week gives our faculty and staff a wonderful opportunity to show appreciation to students on all three campuses," says Dr. Kevin Kirk, College President. "They work very hard for their achievements, and we believe it is important for our community to show their support." Each day will hold a new surprise for the College's students. Vendors throughout the community have donated coupons, gift certificates, snacks and door prizes to distribute to students throughout the week. Additionally, the College is sponsoring cookout events at all three campuses, using a smoker built by Oklahoma Technical College's very own welding students. The smoker was used as a teaching aid with donated materials. The students laid out pipe using skills taught in class. It was assembled with three different types of welding procedures (MIG, TIG and stick). "With a lot of cooperation and work we now have a smoker," said Welding Instructor Richard Lee. This was a class project that all campuses will enjoy. Graduates of this Tulsa welding school program at OTC will learn, use, and understand the terms, tools, equipment, and techniques used in the welding trade. OTC students will demonstrate the safe and proper use and care of tools, materials, and equipment and learn to use appropriate safety appliances. Oklahoma Technical College students will learn health and safety hazards. Upon graduation students will possess an applied skill level sufficient for entry-level employment and advancement in the field of welding technology, demonstrate appropriate workplace behaviors and pursue ongoing technical skill development sufficient for employment in the field of welding technology, and have all the skills they need to become successfully employed. One of OTC's main goals is for our graduates to have applied skill level to gain entry-level employment within the industry, but also enough skill to advance in the field. You can earn your Welding Technology diploma in as little as 32 weeks for daytime, or 40 weeks in the evening. You can earn your Welding Associates in Occupational Science Degree in as little as 62 weeks daytime, or 70 weeks in the evening.
