Career Connections is an annual event designed specifically to help district 8th graders “connect the dots” between high school programs and future career opportunities. Students tour Central Tech classrooms and labs, meet current students, and discover career pathways across industries like healthcare, engineering, manufacturing, business, and more.

As the trucking industry faces a national shortage of qualified drivers, Central Technology Center is meeting the demand with a statewide program designed to prepare safe, job-ready drivers in just 28 days.

The program is designed to help young people build real-world job skills and prepare for life after high school.

Students from Central Tech’s Digital Media and Business & Information Technology classes on the Drumright and Sapulpa campuses achieved remarkable success at the BPA State Leadership Conference held earlier this month.

This year, the event saw enthusiastic participation from 6th to 12th grade students across 13 school districts. Students voluntarily register to take part in a variety of contests and activities designed to challenge and inspire them.

Central Tech's Digital Media class had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to host a visit from three distinguished actors, Bryan Withiam, John Gibbs, and Daniel Adam Warrior, all from Cushing, OK.

Over $19,000 in proceeds was raised from this tournament and will be used to provide scholarships to Central Tech students as they develop new technical careers for future employment. Last year the Central Tech Foundation helped 38 students.

Central Tech is proud to announce that several members of its esteemed staff have been recognized with individual awards for their exceptional contributions and dedication to Career and Technical Education (CTE) during the fiscal year 2023.
