1
00:00:32,233 --> 00:00:32,483
Please raise your hand and we're

2
00:00:34,083 --> 00:00:34,333
going to answer questions as

3
00:00:35,849 --> 00:00:36,099
they arise during the

4
00:00:37,733 --> 00:00:37,983
presentations and then

5
00:00:40,433 --> 00:00:40,683
we are going to stay on time

6
00:00:43,583 --> 00:00:43,833
at this point I'm gonna turn

7
00:00:44,233 --> 00:00:44,483
it over to Representative

8
00:00:47,416 --> 00:00:47,666
Norwood and then I will I will

9
00:00:48,083 --> 00:00:48,333
keep us on time.

10
00:00:49,616 --> 00:00:49,866
and I will recognize questions.

11
00:00:51,649 --> 00:00:51,899
so thank you

12
00:00:55,683 --> 00:00:55,933
thank you chairwoman I

13
00:00:57,699 --> 00:00:57,949
appreciate you doing all of that

14
00:00:59,649 --> 00:00:59,899
for me today thank everyone for

15
00:01:01,833 --> 00:01:02,083
being here this morning.

16
00:01:04,199 --> 00:01:04,449
Malcolm Gladwell in2008 wrote a

17
00:01:06,133 --> 00:01:06,383
book it was called Outliers and

18
00:01:08,116 --> 00:01:08,366
in the book outliers he looks at

19
00:01:09,683 --> 00:01:09,933
people who were given

20
00:01:11,949 --> 00:01:12,199
opportunities well before their

21
00:01:15,549 --> 00:01:15,799
time the beatles played ingery

22
00:01:16,249 --> 00:01:16,499
two shows a night for four

23
00:01:18,066 --> 00:01:18,316
months before they came to

24
00:01:19,916 --> 00:01:20,166
America and it set them up for

25
00:01:22,083 --> 00:01:22,333
this moment of success as they

26
00:01:22,749 --> 00:01:22,999
rolled in was the experience

27
00:01:25,816 --> 00:01:26,066
they had Bill Gates was given

28
00:01:26,466 --> 00:01:26,716
time on a computer or a

29
00:01:28,049 --> 00:01:28,299
supercomputer before it was ever

30
00:01:29,816 --> 00:01:30,066
an opportunity for other

31
00:01:31,816 --> 00:01:32,066
students to do that so today's

32
00:01:32,549 --> 00:01:32,799
study really is looking at how

33
00:01:34,299 --> 00:01:34,549
we can create opportunities for

34
00:01:37,449 --> 00:01:37,699
outliers within these two spaces

35
00:01:38,166 --> 00:01:38,416
of aerospace and construction

36
00:01:41,783 --> 00:01:42,033
and I'm very fortunate today to

37
00:01:43,549 --> 00:01:43,799
have some brilliant presenters

38
00:01:45,566 --> 00:01:45,816
that have have agreed to be here

39
00:01:47,483 --> 00:01:47,733
this morning. The only change

40
00:01:48,266 --> 00:01:48,516
from the script that you have is

41
00:01:50,266 --> 00:01:50,516
instead of Bailey Siegfried

42
00:01:53,483 --> 00:01:53,733
from Nordam, Joel Der will be

43
00:01:54,349 --> 00:01:54,599
with us and he'll be presenting

44
00:01:55,766 --> 00:01:56,016
and we'll just kind of go with

45
00:01:58,033 --> 00:01:58,283
the schedule Jim Bryenstein

46
00:02:00,216 --> 00:02:00,466
is here today from quantum space

47
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:03,999
and he'll lead us off and then

48
00:02:06,233 --> 00:02:06,483
Baileyrighterkins wright

49
00:02:07,749 --> 00:02:07,999
from boeing is here with us

50
00:02:08,299 --> 00:02:08,549
today. Bobbys

51
00:02:11,966 --> 00:02:12,216
te m hi t ney Hillannya Norwood

52
00:02:13,766 --> 00:02:14,016
who I am not related to I know

53
00:02:17,583 --> 00:02:17,833
that's the question very few

54
00:02:18,283 --> 00:02:18,533
people are related to me but

55
00:02:21,533 --> 00:02:21,783
thank you and then to end today

56
00:02:23,649 --> 00:02:23,899
we'll be Brent Hake as we just

57
00:02:25,433 --> 00:02:25,683
kind of work through this today

58
00:02:26,216 --> 00:02:26,466
to look thank you to everyone

59
00:02:28,016 --> 00:02:28,266
that's here today for the time

60
00:02:29,683 --> 00:02:29,933
that you've given me to come and

61
00:02:31,666 --> 00:02:31,916
talk with you to spend time

62
00:02:34,016 --> 00:02:34,266
at your places of industry

63
00:02:36,449 --> 00:02:36,699
and I look forward to it today

64
00:02:37,783 --> 00:02:38,033
so we'll start this morning Jim

65
00:02:38,433 --> 00:02:38,683
Bry

66
00:02:38,799 --> 00:02:39,049
id ens te in

67
00:02:50,033 --> 00:02:50,283
Thank you Representative

68
00:02:51,699 --> 00:02:51,949
Norwood. madam chairir, thank

69
00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:54,449
you for hosting this I'll

70
00:02:56,216 --> 00:02:56,466
just give a brief overview of

71
00:02:59,433 --> 00:02:59,683
what quantum space is we are

72
00:03:00,433 --> 00:03:00,683
growing in the state of Oklahoma

73
00:03:04,066 --> 00:03:04,316
not for well for a lot of

74
00:03:05,983 --> 00:03:06,233
reasons but one of the main ones

75
00:03:08,066 --> 00:03:08,316
is the ability to educate the

76
00:03:08,716 --> 00:03:08,966
workforce that's necessary that

77
00:03:09,383 --> 00:03:09,633
we're gonna need

78
00:03:12,216 --> 00:03:12,466
but one of the things I've

79
00:03:14,216 --> 00:03:14,466
been communicating to a lot of

80
00:03:16,266 --> 00:03:16,516
state legislators and others at

81
00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:18,449
the at the state level here is

82
00:03:18,849 --> 00:03:19,099
the fact that

83
00:03:21,966 --> 00:03:22,216
the United Statespace forcece

84
00:03:24,216 --> 00:03:24,466
not only exists but it's growing

85
00:03:26,083 --> 00:03:26,333
and it's growing in a bipartisan

86
00:03:27,849 --> 00:03:28,099
way it was created under

87
00:03:28,416 --> 00:03:28,666
President Trump in his first

88
00:03:29,083 --> 00:03:29,333
term

89
00:03:31,949 --> 00:03:32,199
under President Biden it doubled

90
00:03:33,683 --> 00:03:33,933
and now under President Trump

91
00:03:35,766 --> 00:03:36,016
it's doubling again and it is in

92
00:03:37,416 --> 00:03:37,666
my view very important for the

93
00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:38,449
state of Oklahoma to recognize

94
00:03:40,249 --> 00:03:40,499
that if we align ourselves as a

95
00:03:42,233 --> 00:03:42,483
state with the space force

96
00:03:43,999 --> 00:03:44,249
there's going to be a lot of

97
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:44,849
really good things that come

98
00:03:45,266 --> 00:03:45,516
from that over time

99
00:03:49,499 --> 00:03:49,749
I'll take us back in time for

100
00:03:50,266 --> 00:03:50,516
just a second and then I'll talk

101
00:03:51,766 --> 00:03:52,016
a little bit about the company

102
00:03:53,399 --> 00:03:53,649
specifically to tulsa and the

103
00:03:54,133 --> 00:03:54,383
kind of workforce that we're

104
00:03:57,683 --> 00:03:57,933
gonna need when we think back

105
00:04:00,133 --> 00:04:00,383
to you know 10 or 1f years ago

106
00:04:03,433 --> 00:04:03,683
you know actually even before

107
00:04:05,449 --> 00:04:05,699
that 20 years ago and more now

108
00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:06,399
the the wars in Iraqq and

109
00:04:08,166 --> 00:04:08,416
afghanistan we were using space

110
00:04:09,899 --> 00:04:10,149
for every element of warfare,

111
00:04:11,949 --> 00:04:12,199
every domain of warfare air land

112
00:04:13,966 --> 00:04:14,216
and sea we use space for

113
00:04:14,449 --> 00:04:14,699
intelligent surveillance

114
00:04:15,016 --> 00:04:15,266
reconnaissance

115
00:04:17,699 --> 00:04:17,949
we use it for communication

116
00:04:19,683 --> 00:04:19,933
sending high resolution motion

117
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:21,649
pictures around the globe

118
00:04:22,183 --> 00:04:22,433
instantaneously so decision

119
00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:24,649
makers can make decisions we use

120
00:04:27,649 --> 00:04:27,899
space for navigation of course

121
00:04:29,383 --> 00:04:29,633
everybody is familiar with GPS

122
00:04:31,683 --> 00:04:31,933
that timing signal from GPS is

123
00:04:33,933 --> 00:04:34,183
also used to network everybody

124
00:04:35,649 --> 00:04:35,899
in theaters so that everybody in

125
00:04:36,299 --> 00:04:36,549
theater can see where the good

126
00:04:37,749 --> 00:04:37,999
guys are and where the the

127
00:04:39,983 --> 00:04:40,233
adversary is and we can help you

128
00:04:41,783 --> 00:04:42,033
know orchestrate and do command

129
00:04:43,499 --> 00:04:43,749
and control because of that

130
00:04:44,416 --> 00:04:44,666
timings signal from from GPS on

131
00:04:47,699 --> 00:04:47,949
top of that we use space for

132
00:04:49,449 --> 00:04:49,699
missile warning and missile

133
00:04:51,499 --> 00:04:51,749
defense a lot of folks in this

134
00:04:53,416 --> 00:04:53,666
room watched with great interest

135
00:04:54,166 --> 00:04:54,416
a number of months ago as

136
00:04:56,149 --> 00:04:56,399
hundreds 900 plus missiles were

137
00:04:57,883 --> 00:04:58,133
launched from Iran towards

138
00:04:59,933 --> 00:05:00,183
Israel and they were knocked out

139
00:05:01,983 --> 00:05:02,233
of the sky that was possible

140
00:05:04,133 --> 00:05:04,383
because of spacebased infrared a

141
00:05:06,166 --> 00:05:06,416
missile warning capability and

142
00:05:08,166 --> 00:05:08,416
we also use space for tracking

143
00:05:11,466 --> 00:05:11,716
these types of missiles we also

144
00:05:13,466 --> 00:05:13,716
use space for nuclear command

145
00:05:14,449 --> 00:05:14,699
and control. we use space for

146
00:05:15,116 --> 00:05:15,366
imagery

147
00:05:17,949 --> 00:05:18,199
we use space for targeting

148
00:05:21,333 --> 00:05:21,583
precision guided munitions we

149
00:05:22,083 --> 00:05:22,333
use space for everything. what

150
00:05:24,099 --> 00:05:24,349
we have witnessed is that China

151
00:05:26,133 --> 00:05:26,383
and Russia have noticed how we

152
00:05:28,099 --> 00:05:28,349
use space and they've decided to

153
00:05:29,966 --> 00:05:30,216
target it so they started

154
00:05:31,716 --> 00:05:31,966
launching anti-satellite

155
00:05:33,899 --> 00:05:34,149
missiles and coorbital anti

156
00:05:35,949 --> 00:05:36,199
satellite satellites so think of

157
00:05:37,766 --> 00:05:38,016
a satellite designed to destroy

158
00:05:39,983 --> 00:05:40,233
other satellites. These are all

159
00:05:41,816 --> 00:05:42,066
capabilities that they started

160
00:05:42,483 --> 00:05:42,733
advancing

161
00:05:44,449 --> 00:05:44,699
10 1f years ago even before that

162
00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:48,449
since since then the United

163
00:05:49,883 --> 00:05:50,133
States has said ok we need to do

164
00:05:51,983 --> 00:05:52,233
two things number one we need to

165
00:05:53,649 --> 00:05:53,899
proliferate to complicate the

166
00:05:55,533 --> 00:05:55,783
targeting solution for the enemy

167
00:05:56,249 --> 00:05:56,499
instead of building dozens of

168
00:05:57,783 --> 00:05:58,033
multibillion dollar very

169
00:05:59,733 --> 00:05:59,983
exquisite satellites we need to

170
00:06:01,466 --> 00:06:01,716
build thousands of satellites we

171
00:06:03,683 --> 00:06:03,933
need to network them together

172
00:06:04,299 --> 00:06:04,549
instead of each of them being

173
00:06:05,983 --> 00:06:06,233
worth multiple billions we need

174
00:06:07,466 --> 00:06:07,716
each of them to be worth50

175
00:06:09,516 --> 00:06:09,766
million now when the adversary

176
00:06:10,249 --> 00:06:10,499
launches a500 million dollars

177
00:06:12,249 --> 00:06:12,499
missile they hit a50 million

178
00:06:13,983 --> 00:06:14,233
dollars satellite. it's one of

179
00:06:15,666 --> 00:06:15,916
thousands networked together in

180
00:06:16,349 --> 00:06:16,599
low earth orbit

181
00:06:19,416 --> 00:06:19,666
and it has no impact on the war.

182
00:06:20,183 --> 00:06:20,433
The economies of force are

183
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:22,449
against the adversary and in our

184
00:06:24,233 --> 00:06:24,483
favor it doesn't have an impact

185
00:06:24,899 --> 00:06:25,149
on the outcome of the

186
00:06:28,066 --> 00:06:28,316
terrestrial war fight and and

187
00:06:29,766 --> 00:06:30,016
ultimately it it puts us in a

188
00:06:30,449 --> 00:06:30,699
position where they're they're

189
00:06:32,266 --> 00:06:32,516
targeting solution is

190
00:06:34,066 --> 00:06:34,316
complicated and it deters them

191
00:06:34,749 --> 00:06:34,999
by denial.

192
00:06:38,266 --> 00:06:38,516
now since then they have started

193
00:06:40,183 --> 00:06:40,433
doing different things they've

194
00:06:43,499 --> 00:06:43,749
they've created things like

195
00:06:45,916 --> 00:06:46,166
jamming and spoofing dazzling

196
00:06:47,749 --> 00:06:47,999
using laser energy to confuse

197
00:06:48,499 --> 00:06:48,749
satellites directed energy to

198
00:06:49,716 --> 00:06:49,966
kill satellites so if we're

199
00:06:51,516 --> 00:06:51,766
going to have thousands that are

200
00:06:52,199 --> 00:06:52,449
less expensive they're going to

201
00:06:53,933 --> 00:06:54,183
create less expensive easier

202
00:06:55,899 --> 00:06:56,149
ways to kill those satellites so

203
00:06:57,416 --> 00:06:57,666
now we're doing something

204
00:06:58,149 --> 00:06:58,399
different as the the United

205
00:06:59,916 --> 00:07:00,166
States of America were

206
00:07:01,899 --> 00:07:02,149
proliferating even further. So

207
00:07:03,533 --> 00:07:03,783
now when we proliferate we're

208
00:07:04,166 --> 00:07:04,416
saying ok we're going to build

209
00:07:04,849 --> 00:07:05,099
thousands tens of thousands

210
00:07:07,999 --> 00:07:08,249
dozens of thousands of

211
00:07:09,666 --> 00:07:09,916
satellites in low earth orbit

212
00:07:10,316 --> 00:07:10,566
we're gonna network them

213
00:07:11,949 --> 00:07:12,199
together but we're also going to

214
00:07:13,699 --> 00:07:13,949
go to higher energy orbits

215
00:07:15,716 --> 00:07:15,966
medium earth orbit geostationary

216
00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:17,999
orbit what we call cis lunar

217
00:07:19,716 --> 00:07:19,966
space which is where the moon's

218
00:07:21,433 --> 00:07:21,683
gravity well and the earth's

219
00:07:23,449 --> 00:07:23,699
gravity well both interact on a

220
00:07:24,233 --> 00:07:24,483
space vehicle that recreates

221
00:07:27,449 --> 00:07:27,699
very unique orbital dynamics

222
00:07:29,516 --> 00:07:29,766
that are really beneficial in

223
00:07:30,283 --> 00:07:30,533
some ways but challenging if our

224
00:07:31,749 --> 00:07:31,999
adversaries are using these

225
00:07:32,299 --> 00:07:32,549
capabilities

226
00:07:34,216 --> 00:07:34,466
what does that mean? that means

227
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:36,449
we need higher energy satellites

228
00:07:38,249 --> 00:07:38,499
and satellites that can sustain

229
00:07:39,649 --> 00:07:39,899
maneuver once they are in those

230
00:07:40,316 --> 00:07:40,566
orbits

231
00:07:43,833 --> 00:07:44,083
all of this is about you know

232
00:07:45,566 --> 00:07:45,816
having the right type of

233
00:07:47,583 --> 00:07:47,833
workforce it is true we need

234
00:07:49,583 --> 00:07:49,833
folks in the stem fields. We

235
00:07:51,349 --> 00:07:51,599
need folks that are going to be

236
00:07:51,983 --> 00:07:52,233
the scientists and the

237
00:07:53,599 --> 00:07:53,849
technologists and the engineers

238
00:07:55,616 --> 00:07:55,866
that's absolutely true. it's

239
00:07:57,366 --> 00:07:57,616
also true that these satellites

240
00:07:59,633 --> 00:07:59,883
have to be built in volumes. We

241
00:08:01,849 --> 00:08:02,099
need quality manufacturing folks

242
00:08:03,849 --> 00:08:04,099
we don't necessarily need every

243
00:08:05,633 --> 00:08:05,883
person to be an engineer we need

244
00:08:07,599 --> 00:08:07,849
folks that and we're gonna need

245
00:08:09,549 --> 00:08:09,799
these folks in volumes that know

246
00:08:10,233 --> 00:08:10,483
how to work with their hands

247
00:08:13,366 --> 00:08:13,616
know how to build things this is

248
00:08:15,349 --> 00:08:15,599
why one of the reasons we're

249
00:08:17,333 --> 00:08:17,583
expanding in Tulsa career

250
00:08:19,833 --> 00:08:20,083
techtulsa tech this idea where

251
00:08:22,316 --> 00:08:22,566
we can train people on machinery

252
00:08:25,866 --> 00:08:26,116
to build hardware you know a

253
00:08:27,616 --> 00:08:27,866
lot of kids in high school know

254
00:08:29,616 --> 00:08:29,866
that hey maybe we're not going

255
00:08:30,283 --> 00:08:30,533
to college but we love to build

256
00:08:30,949 --> 00:08:31,199
cars

257
00:08:34,099 --> 00:08:34,349
well if you like to build cars

258
00:08:35,833 --> 00:08:36,083
we have a job for you you can

259
00:08:38,366 --> 00:08:38,616
build satellites too and and

260
00:08:39,616 --> 00:08:39,866
and by the but you you have to

261
00:08:41,349 --> 00:08:41,599
have some education. you don't

262
00:08:43,349 --> 00:08:43,599
have to go to a four year to you

263
00:08:45,366 --> 00:08:45,616
know get a four year degree but

264
00:08:47,599 --> 00:08:47,849
operating these these machines

265
00:08:49,599 --> 00:08:49,849
is complicated in and of itself

266
00:08:50,316 --> 00:08:50,566
so we need people that are

267
00:08:51,599 --> 00:08:51,849
trained on that and by the way

268
00:08:52,216 --> 00:08:52,466
we're going to be bringing in

269
00:08:55,383 --> 00:08:55,633
some very sophisticated machines

270
00:08:57,349 --> 00:08:57,599
things like friction stir

271
00:08:58,116 --> 00:08:58,366
welding which is a capability

272
00:09:00,299 --> 00:09:00,549
that was advanced by NASa even

273
00:09:00,966 --> 00:09:01,216
when I was there we were

274
00:09:03,849 --> 00:09:04,099
advancing friction stir welding

275
00:09:05,599 --> 00:09:05,849
for the first time and

276
00:09:06,133 --> 00:09:06,383
commercializing it. Well now

277
00:09:08,366 --> 00:09:08,616
it's commercialized and it's

278
00:09:09,816 --> 00:09:10,066
available to to companies like

279
00:09:11,633 --> 00:09:11,883
uantum Space we're going to be

280
00:09:13,349 --> 00:09:13,599
taking advantage of friction

281
00:09:15,349 --> 00:09:15,599
stir welding we're gonna be

282
00:09:16,133 --> 00:09:16,383
3D printing

283
00:09:19,599 --> 00:09:19,849
3D printing parts with materials

284
00:09:21,366 --> 00:09:21,616
that historically have not been

285
00:09:23,349 --> 00:09:23,599
used so we're gonna do those

286
00:09:25,366 --> 00:09:25,616
types of things and all of this

287
00:09:27,349 --> 00:09:27,599
requires a trained workforce if

288
00:09:30,099 --> 00:09:30,349
not a a a an engineering type

289
00:09:30,749 --> 00:09:30,999
workforce make no mistake we're

290
00:09:31,416 --> 00:09:31,666
gonna

291
00:09:34,083 --> 00:09:34,333
need engineers but we need

292
00:09:35,583 --> 00:09:35,833
folks that know how to build

293
00:09:38,066 --> 00:09:38,316
things similar to companies

294
00:09:41,349 --> 00:09:41,599
like Nordam and Prior aerospace

295
00:09:43,349 --> 00:09:43,599
those types of of skilled

296
00:09:44,133 --> 00:09:44,383
workers are the types of workers

297
00:09:46,099 --> 00:09:46,349
we're gonna need as well we have

298
00:09:47,866 --> 00:09:48,116
no problem getting engineers at

299
00:09:50,149 --> 00:09:50,399
this point we have challenges

300
00:09:51,849 --> 00:09:52,099
getting you know the the labor

301
00:09:53,616 --> 00:09:53,866
that we need to build the

302
00:09:55,383 --> 00:09:55,633
hardware that that we're gonna

303
00:09:56,133 --> 00:09:56,383
need as a company so that's kind

304
00:09:58,116 --> 00:09:58,366
of who we are and and what we're

305
00:09:59,866 --> 00:10:00,116
about I'm happy to open it up to

306
00:10:00,549 --> 00:10:00,799
questions madam chairir I

307
00:10:01,099 --> 00:10:01,349
appreciate

308
00:10:02,766 --> 00:10:03,016
that we will stay on time

309
00:10:05,849 --> 00:10:06,099
I'm supportive of that by the

310
00:10:07,383 --> 00:10:07,633
way we have members that have

311
00:10:17,333 --> 00:10:17,583
I have a question you

312
00:10:18,099 --> 00:10:18,349
mentioned that you are not

313
00:10:20,266 --> 00:10:20,516
having any challenges finding

314
00:10:20,949 --> 00:10:21,199
engineers

315
00:10:23,849 --> 00:10:24,099
can you walk us through that a

316
00:10:25,383 --> 00:10:25,633
little bit what would say is

317
00:10:26,049 --> 00:10:26,299
that

318
00:10:30,049 --> 00:10:30,299
the number of positions that

319
00:10:31,616 --> 00:10:31,866
require engineering talent at

320
00:10:33,866 --> 00:10:34,116
this point in Tulsa are not

321
00:10:35,616 --> 00:10:35,866
numerous and when we have a

322
00:10:36,233 --> 00:10:36,483
position that's open we get

323
00:10:38,699 --> 00:10:38,949
lots of applicants

324
00:10:42,083 --> 00:10:42,333
now over time that might change

325
00:10:43,599 --> 00:10:43,849
we might need a lot more

326
00:10:44,333 --> 00:10:44,583
engineers and not have as many

327
00:10:45,866 --> 00:10:46,116
applicants but right now we get

328
00:10:47,583 --> 00:10:47,833
more applicants than we have

329
00:10:50,116 --> 00:10:50,366
positions and I think we're

330
00:10:51,583 --> 00:10:51,833
where we're going to have to

331
00:10:55,599 --> 00:10:55,849
have some help is on the on the

332
00:10:56,216 --> 00:10:56,466
the the the production of the

333
00:10:57,416 --> 00:10:57,666
talent that knows how to operate

334
00:10:58,083 --> 00:10:58,333
machinery

335
00:11:00,049 --> 00:11:00,299
that's that's where we need the

336
00:11:02,033 --> 00:11:02,283
help right now. I will tell you

337
00:11:02,666 --> 00:11:02,916
I think that there's value

338
00:11:05,866 --> 00:11:06,116
for the engineering workforce

339
00:11:06,516 --> 00:11:06,766
that we get

340
00:11:09,833 --> 00:11:10,083
they know you know they know

341
00:11:11,616 --> 00:11:11,866
electrical engineering they know

342
00:11:13,349 --> 00:11:13,599
mechanical engineering they know

343
00:11:14,099 --> 00:11:14,349
a lot of that that type of stuff

344
00:11:17,583 --> 00:11:17,833
what they don't know or

345
00:11:19,549 --> 00:11:19,799
understand is space and how

346
00:11:21,583 --> 00:11:21,833
space is different than pretty

347
00:11:23,849 --> 00:11:24,099
much anything else in space we

348
00:11:26,099 --> 00:11:26,349
operate in a vacuum so whatever

349
00:11:27,833 --> 00:11:28,083
it is you build has to operate

350
00:11:29,833 --> 00:11:30,083
in a vacuum in space it's a high

351
00:11:31,833 --> 00:11:32,083
radiation environment which

352
00:11:33,616 --> 00:11:33,866
corrupts electronics and it

353
00:11:35,366 --> 00:11:35,616
corrupts storage devices so we

354
00:11:37,366 --> 00:11:37,616
have to have radiation hardened

355
00:11:39,366 --> 00:11:39,616
devices. Once you're outside the

356
00:11:41,649 --> 00:11:41,899
Van Allen radiation belt so the

357
00:11:43,583 --> 00:11:43,833
the earth has a molten core

358
00:11:44,249 --> 00:11:44,499
creates a magnetosphere

359
00:11:44,799 --> 00:11:45,049
subatomic charge

360
00:11:47,633 --> 00:11:47,883
particles coming from the sun go

361
00:11:49,583 --> 00:11:49,833
around the earth but once you're

362
00:11:51,316 --> 00:11:51,566
outside that Van Allen radiation

363
00:11:52,099 --> 00:11:52,349
belt it becomes really

364
00:11:54,133 --> 00:11:54,383
challenging for electronics to

365
00:11:57,833 --> 00:11:58,083
work as advertised so

366
00:11:59,849 --> 00:12:00,099
understanding orbits and orbital

367
00:12:03,349 --> 00:12:03,599
physics the space environment

368
00:12:05,583 --> 00:12:05,833
takes time there there really

369
00:12:07,583 --> 00:12:07,833
isn't you don't find engineers

370
00:12:10,116 --> 00:12:10,366
that come into the game knowing

371
00:12:12,099 --> 00:12:12,349
space they know engineering but

372
00:12:13,616 --> 00:12:13,866
not space so I think that's a

373
00:12:14,216 --> 00:12:14,466
challenge on the engineering

374
00:12:14,883 --> 00:12:15,133
front

375
00:12:17,366 --> 00:12:17,616
I would also say we're

376
00:12:18,366 --> 00:12:18,616
addressing that here in Oklahoma

377
00:12:22,099 --> 00:12:22,349
don aerospace is building a

378
00:12:23,433 --> 00:12:23,683
space plane that's going to fly

379
00:12:24,083 --> 00:12:24,333
out of urn's flat

380
00:12:29,383 --> 00:12:29,633
maybe as early as2027 next

381
00:12:30,199 --> 00:12:30,449
year and when they fly out of

382
00:12:31,849 --> 00:12:32,099
Burn's flat they're going to

383
00:12:33,349 --> 00:12:33,599
take that space plane up to

384
00:12:35,366 --> 00:12:35,616
microgravity up it's not they're

385
00:12:36,099 --> 00:12:36,349
not going to go into orbit but

386
00:12:37,599 --> 00:12:37,849
they're going to go straight up

387
00:12:39,583 --> 00:12:39,833
and straight down and they're

388
00:12:41,683 --> 00:12:41,933
going to provide minutes of

389
00:12:43,533 --> 00:12:43,783
microgravity and we're we at

390
00:12:45,533 --> 00:12:45,783
quantum space will use that

391
00:12:47,849 --> 00:12:48,099
space plane to test our

392
00:12:49,599 --> 00:12:49,849
equipment because again our

393
00:12:50,199 --> 00:12:50,449
equipment has to work in

394
00:12:50,749 --> 00:12:50,999
microgravity

395
00:12:53,749 --> 00:12:53,999
so that's a hugely valuable

396
00:12:55,783 --> 00:12:56,033
component to us as a company but

397
00:12:56,466 --> 00:12:56,716
one thing that we're doing

398
00:12:57,716 --> 00:12:57,966
that's extraordinarily unique is

399
00:12:59,749 --> 00:12:59,999
we're tying that testing and

400
00:13:01,466 --> 00:13:01,716
evaluating capability we're

401
00:13:02,216 --> 00:13:02,466
tying it directly to

402
00:13:03,816 --> 00:13:04,066
universities here in the state

403
00:13:05,749 --> 00:13:05,999
of Oklahoma so we're doing

404
00:13:07,583 --> 00:13:07,833
cappstone projects for

405
00:13:08,516 --> 00:13:08,766
engineering students to learn

406
00:13:11,583 --> 00:13:11,833
how how do pumps work in the

407
00:13:13,916 --> 00:13:14,166
microgravity of space because

408
00:13:15,816 --> 00:13:16,066
they they're the there's

409
00:13:17,483 --> 00:13:17,733
problems there there's

410
00:13:19,783 --> 00:13:20,033
cavitation of pumps and and

411
00:13:20,433 --> 00:13:20,683
you know creating the the

412
00:13:20,983 --> 00:13:21,233
pressure systems

413
00:13:22,283 --> 00:13:22,533
and those kinds of things and

414
00:13:23,766 --> 00:13:24,016
the microgravity space

415
00:13:26,149 --> 00:13:26,399
everything is different so we we

416
00:13:27,699 --> 00:13:27,949
we not only have to be able to

417
00:13:28,316 --> 00:13:28,566
do that in a modeling and

418
00:13:29,999 --> 00:13:30,249
simulation environment we need

419
00:13:31,899 --> 00:13:32,149
to test it in the actual

420
00:13:33,816 --> 00:13:34,066
spaceflight environment and then

421
00:13:35,599 --> 00:13:35,849
match what we did in modeling

422
00:13:37,766 --> 00:13:38,016
and Sim to what actually happens

423
00:13:38,549 --> 00:13:38,799
and then once you bring those

424
00:13:39,883 --> 00:13:40,133
two together you get better

425
00:13:41,733 --> 00:13:41,983
modeling and sim and over time

426
00:13:42,349 --> 00:13:42,599
you can get create different

427
00:13:45,766 --> 00:13:46,016
capabilities so having access to

428
00:13:47,866 --> 00:13:48,116
microgravity which is going to

429
00:13:49,499 --> 00:13:49,749
be unique to the state of

430
00:13:50,116 --> 00:13:50,366
Oklahoma because of Don

431
00:13:50,666 --> 00:13:50,916
aerospace

432
00:13:53,533 --> 00:13:53,783
coming to the the space port at

433
00:13:55,949 --> 00:13:56,199
urns flat urns flat which I

434
00:13:57,666 --> 00:13:57,916
think is called infinity one now

435
00:13:59,699 --> 00:13:59,949
or something that's gonna be

436
00:14:01,649 --> 00:14:01,899
valuable and tying that to

437
00:14:03,999 --> 00:14:04,249
students I know we're working

438
00:14:05,699 --> 00:14:05,949
with some students at Oklahoma

439
00:14:07,583 --> 00:14:07,833
Baptist University but

440
00:14:08,166 --> 00:14:08,416
there's other universities we

441
00:14:08,833 --> 00:14:09,083
want to get them all involved

442
00:14:19,616 --> 00:14:19,866
your timeline of coming here

443
00:14:21,366 --> 00:14:21,616
what what is it looking like as

444
00:14:22,133 --> 00:14:22,383
far as moving from the

445
00:14:24,183 --> 00:14:24,433
announcement to where you're

446
00:14:25,666 --> 00:14:25,916
actually producing and going

447
00:14:28,149 --> 00:14:28,399
forward yeah so we are right

448
00:14:31,466 --> 00:14:31,716
now opening a manufacturing

449
00:14:33,366 --> 00:14:33,616
facility in Tulsa it's it's

450
00:14:34,499 --> 00:14:34,749
already open as a matter of fact

451
00:14:36,266 --> 00:14:36,516
so we've got some machines in

452
00:14:37,633 --> 00:14:37,883
there we can build parts what we

453
00:14:39,633 --> 00:14:39,883
would like to see is full scale

454
00:14:41,649 --> 00:14:41,899
production in volume at Tulsa

455
00:14:43,349 --> 00:14:43,599
International we're looking at a

456
00:14:44,049 --> 00:14:44,299
number of different sites for

457
00:14:44,649 --> 00:14:44,899
that

458
00:14:44,899 --> 00:14:45,149
and and

459
00:14:47,349 --> 00:14:47,599
we're working through that but I

460
00:14:49,349 --> 00:14:49,599
would say probably in the 3 to 5

461
00:14:51,333 --> 00:14:51,583
year horizon we we want to be

462
00:14:53,599 --> 00:14:53,849
able to produce you know 10

463
00:14:55,349 --> 00:14:55,599
satellites a year and that would

464
00:14:57,383 --> 00:14:57,633
be you know low rate initial

465
00:14:59,366 --> 00:14:59,616
production but eventually

466
00:14:59,983 --> 00:15:00,233
we're gonna need to be able to

467
00:15:01,633 --> 00:15:01,883
produce in the hundreds per year

468
00:15:03,833 --> 00:15:04,083
space is not becoming less

469
00:15:05,599 --> 00:15:05,849
contested it's becoming more

470
00:15:07,649 --> 00:15:07,899
contested and we need to be able

471
00:15:09,399 --> 00:15:09,649
to to build the satellites that

472
00:15:10,099 --> 00:15:10,349
the spacece force is is going to

473
00:15:10,766 --> 00:15:11,016
need

474
00:15:11,883 --> 00:15:12,133
does that answer your

475
00:15:12,316 --> 00:15:12,566
question

476
00:15:18,066 --> 00:15:18,316
Yes, presentative Mcain

477
00:15:20,033 --> 00:15:20,283
thank you madam Chair

478
00:15:23,849 --> 00:15:24,099
so if in this 3 to5 years if

479
00:15:25,866 --> 00:15:26,116
you're making 110 satellites per

480
00:15:27,616 --> 00:15:27,866
year. what does that look like

481
00:15:31,383 --> 00:15:31,633
as far as the jobs to make

482
00:15:31,999 --> 00:15:32,249
those and know you said

483
00:15:32,466 --> 00:15:32,716
everybody can't be an engineer

484
00:15:33,383 --> 00:15:33,633
you need the people to build it

485
00:15:34,166 --> 00:15:34,416
so what would the staffing for

486
00:15:36,133 --> 00:15:36,383
that look like we're looking at

487
00:15:39,966 --> 00:15:40,216
150 to200 people initially

488
00:15:43,366 --> 00:15:43,616
just to get to that rate but

489
00:15:44,066 --> 00:15:44,316
then when we go beyond that it's

490
00:15:44,749 --> 00:15:44,999
it's gonna be

491
00:15:47,849 --> 00:15:48,099
probably a lot more robotics and

492
00:15:50,116 --> 00:15:50,366
a lot more higher end positions

493
00:15:53,383 --> 00:15:53,633
which ultimately is the goal

494
00:15:53,949 --> 00:15:54,199
to get the volumes necessary.

495
00:15:59,333 --> 00:15:59,583
and what's the like lowest range

496
00:16:01,366 --> 00:16:01,616
of pay to highest that you kind

497
00:16:03,533 --> 00:16:03,783
of see throughout all of of the

498
00:16:04,216 --> 00:16:04,466
lines that you have

499
00:16:06,166 --> 00:16:06,416
Rick do you want to address that

500
00:16:07,666 --> 00:16:07,916
lowest range of pay to highest

501
00:16:13,633 --> 00:16:13,883
so Rick Rick is the general

502
00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:15,649
manager of the Tulsa plant and

503
00:16:16,166 --> 00:16:16,416
he's gonna be you know building

504
00:16:17,999 --> 00:16:18,249
the workforce there

505
00:16:18,466 --> 00:16:18,716
so Rick Rick is the general

506
00:16:19,016 --> 00:16:19,266
manager of the Tulsa plant and

507
00:16:19,683 --> 00:16:19,933
he's gonna be you know building

508
00:16:20,349 --> 00:16:20,599
the workforce there

509
00:16:21,816 --> 00:16:22,066
so we're we're we want the

510
00:16:23,766 --> 00:16:24,016
brightest and the best so

511
00:16:25,783 --> 00:16:26,033
we're gonna be in the you know

512
00:16:27,966 --> 00:16:28,216
bottom would be probably25 for

513
00:16:30,449 --> 00:16:30,699
entry level that that is the

514
00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:32,449
brightest and the best so and

515
00:16:35,999 --> 00:16:36,249
then that would go on up to4560

516
00:16:37,716 --> 00:16:37,966
somewhere in there for some

517
00:16:39,449 --> 00:16:39,699
of that's very very seasoned and

518
00:16:40,116 --> 00:16:40,366
and you're talking about dollars

519
00:16:40,783 --> 00:16:41,033
per hour

520
00:16:43,616 --> 00:16:43,866
sorry yeah yeah and then of

521
00:16:44,183 --> 00:16:44,433
course engineering's a whole

522
00:16:44,849 --> 00:16:45,099
different

523
00:16:46,066 --> 00:16:46,316
different gig but I'm I'm

524
00:16:47,566 --> 00:16:47,816
assuming you're talking about

525
00:16:49,833 --> 00:16:50,083
hourly workforce yeah I mean all

526
00:16:51,583 --> 00:16:51,833
of it just kind of wanted you

527
00:16:53,333 --> 00:16:53,583
know on the lowest scale what

528
00:16:53,933 --> 00:16:54,183
are our folks going to make to

529
00:16:55,566 --> 00:16:55,816
the you know higher and salared

530
00:16:57,366 --> 00:16:57,616
people so the higher ends your

531
00:16:59,349 --> 00:16:59,599
your engineers some of

532
00:17:01,599 --> 00:17:01,849
your engineers would be 150 180s

533
00:17:03,583 --> 00:17:03,833
something like that on the

534
00:17:04,183 --> 00:17:04,433
high on the high end of that

535
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:07,849
as well is that does that help

536
00:17:11,816 --> 00:17:12,066
you do you feel like right now

537
00:17:13,583 --> 00:17:13,833
you I heard what you said about

538
00:17:14,316 --> 00:17:14,566
applicants for the engineering

539
00:17:15,849 --> 00:17:16,099
positions but for these other

540
00:17:16,466 --> 00:17:16,716
positions do you feel like it

541
00:17:19,616 --> 00:17:19,866
would be the same do you do we

542
00:17:21,849 --> 00:17:22,099
have the local workforce right

543
00:17:24,133 --> 00:17:24,383
now where it's going to be

544
00:17:25,849 --> 00:17:26,099
competitive or are you going to

545
00:17:27,849 --> 00:17:28,099
really be scrambling to try to

546
00:17:29,616 --> 00:17:29,866
fill a need to bring people from

547
00:17:31,399 --> 00:17:31,649
out of state. I think

548
00:17:34,149 --> 00:17:34,399
I think we've got the we've got

549
00:17:35,866 --> 00:17:36,116
the people I've been working

550
00:17:39,599 --> 00:17:39,849
with mattluttrell atulsaac and

551
00:17:41,583 --> 00:17:41,833
Chris Groden and we feel

552
00:17:43,599 --> 00:17:43,849
that the our ramp up is going to

553
00:17:45,616 --> 00:17:45,866
be slow enough that they can

554
00:17:47,599 --> 00:17:47,849
fill the pipeline with with

555
00:17:49,349 --> 00:17:49,599
the workers they need right now

556
00:17:50,133 --> 00:17:50,383
and that's my hope is that we

557
00:17:53,333 --> 00:17:53,583
can grow them internally. I I

558
00:17:54,399 --> 00:17:54,649
grew up in Oklahoma so I'm I

559
00:17:56,166 --> 00:17:56,416
wanna I wanna build a build the

560
00:17:57,616 --> 00:17:57,866
state and a good workforce we've

561
00:18:00,133 --> 00:18:00,383
got some good solid hardworking

562
00:18:01,566 --> 00:18:01,816
people in Oklahoma and and

563
00:18:02,116 --> 00:18:02,366
you know I just

564
00:18:04,099 --> 00:18:04,349
I've run manufacturing in

565
00:18:06,099 --> 00:18:06,349
Oklahoma for 20 years and

566
00:18:07,833 --> 00:18:08,083
there's some great great workers

567
00:18:08,499 --> 00:18:08,749
here we just need to encourage

568
00:18:09,149 --> 00:18:09,399
them

569
00:18:15,833 --> 00:18:16,083
OK saying no more questions then

570
00:18:17,333 --> 00:18:17,583
turn it back over to

571
00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:18,049
Representative Norwood. thank

572
00:18:18,466 --> 00:18:18,716
you very much

573
00:18:21,549 --> 00:18:21,799
do you have another question? No

574
00:18:22,216 --> 00:18:22,466
OK.

575
00:18:25,616 --> 00:18:25,866
thank you very much

576
00:18:26,066 --> 00:18:26,316
Jim

577
00:18:29,366 --> 00:18:29,616
Bryenstein from Quantum Space

578
00:18:30,099 --> 00:18:30,349
appreciate you taking the time

579
00:18:33,333 --> 00:18:33,583
today and now I'd like to

580
00:18:35,583 --> 00:18:35,833
introduce Joel Daughtry from

581
00:18:36,249 --> 00:18:36,499
Nordda

582
00:18:39,333 --> 00:18:39,583
I got to tour their facility

583
00:18:41,349 --> 00:18:41,599
with Bailey Siegfried who's

584
00:18:43,366 --> 00:18:43,616
one of the owners there and I do

585
00:18:44,066 --> 00:18:44,316
have to say this I've had

586
00:18:45,583 --> 00:18:45,833
different students go to work at

587
00:18:47,599 --> 00:18:47,849
different locations and one of

588
00:18:49,833 --> 00:18:50,083
the marks on all your walls

589
00:18:51,566 --> 00:18:51,816
there is about family about this

590
00:18:52,333 --> 00:18:52,583
being family and when I was

591
00:18:53,849 --> 00:18:54,099
talking to one of the students

592
00:18:55,583 --> 00:18:55,833
who went in with an AMP license.

593
00:18:56,249 --> 00:18:56,499
he said

594
00:18:58,133 --> 00:18:58,383
one of the things about Bailey

595
00:18:59,633 --> 00:18:59,883
is that he tries to remember

596
00:19:01,366 --> 00:19:01,616
everybody's names as he's going

597
00:19:02,083 --> 00:19:02,333
through the plant and as he's

598
00:19:03,616 --> 00:19:03,866
working through and that that

599
00:19:05,599 --> 00:19:05,849
just kind of reinforced what it

600
00:19:07,366 --> 00:19:07,616
says all over your inside of

601
00:19:08,133 --> 00:19:08,383
your building about being family

602
00:19:09,866 --> 00:19:10,116
but thank you for being here

603
00:19:11,866 --> 00:19:12,116

health and safety forOrA

611
00:19:23,349 --> 00:19:23,599
aerospace probably located in

612
00:19:25,566 --> 00:19:25,816
Tulsa, Oklahoma family owned for

613
00:19:26,233 --> 00:19:26,483
fift7 years, Bailey Siegfried

614
00:19:28,333 --> 00:19:28,583
sent his regrets he could not be

615
00:19:30,066 --> 00:19:30,316
here he is actually my boss and

616
00:19:32,066 --> 00:19:32,316
so he wanted to be here today

617
00:19:34,049 --> 00:19:34,299
but sharing this information

618
00:19:36,049 --> 00:19:36,299
very excited about this topic.

619
00:19:37,583 --> 00:19:37,833
So I'm going to read some

620
00:19:38,183 --> 00:19:38,433
comments that Bailey had and

621
00:19:39,566 --> 00:19:39,816
they'll be happy to take

622
00:19:41,366 --> 00:19:41,616
questions as well so nordde is

623
00:19:43,349 --> 00:19:43,599
investing intentionally in

624
00:19:44,099 --> 00:19:44,349
apprenticeships and workforce

625
00:19:45,849 --> 00:19:46,099
development partnerships to

626
00:19:47,616 --> 00:19:47,866
build a stronger job ready

627
00:19:49,833 --> 00:19:50,083
pipeline of Oklahoma aerospace

628
00:19:51,816 --> 00:19:52,066
talent. what we do is we engage

629
00:19:53,616 --> 00:19:53,866
early with high school students

630
00:19:55,366 --> 00:19:55,616
career tech programs we have

631
00:19:55,983 --> 00:19:56,233
technical trainers that actually

632
00:19:58,183 --> 00:19:58,433
work on the floor at NordA

633
00:19:59,866 --> 00:20:00,116
combined my six technical

634
00:20:01,599 --> 00:20:01,849
trainers probably have over200

635
00:20:03,349 --> 00:20:03,599
years of actual shop floor

636
00:20:04,099 --> 00:20:04,349
experience so Mr Brienstein

637
00:20:05,833 --> 00:20:06,083
you're talking about how do we

638
00:20:07,866 --> 00:20:08,116
transfer that knowledge from

639
00:20:09,583 --> 00:20:09,833
those folks there and we also

640
00:20:10,333 --> 00:20:10,583
work with postsecondary

641
00:20:11,899 --> 00:20:12,149
institutions to ensure that

642
00:20:13,616 --> 00:20:13,866
students gain the hands on

643
00:20:15,616 --> 00:20:15,866
skills the soft skill readiness

644
00:20:17,649 --> 00:20:17,899
which includes the teamwork,

645
00:20:19,349 --> 00:20:19,599
the interaction with others

646
00:20:21,349 --> 00:20:21,599
those things that I think

647
00:20:22,333 --> 00:20:22,583
myself I take for granted but

648
00:20:23,616 --> 00:20:23,866
that is something that we're

649
00:20:24,233 --> 00:20:24,483
doing more with the students

650
00:20:25,566 --> 00:20:25,816
that we are working with and

651
00:20:26,216 --> 00:20:26,466
exposure to

652
00:20:29,383 --> 00:20:29,633
necessary things to succeed in

653
00:20:31,349 --> 00:20:31,599
the modern aerospace career. So

654
00:20:32,066 --> 00:20:32,316
by collaborating directly with

655
00:20:34,099 --> 00:20:34,349
educators adapting curricula and

656
00:20:36,083 --> 00:20:36,333
offering real work experiences

657
00:20:39,583 --> 00:20:39,833
beyond just job shadowing we

658
00:20:40,283 --> 00:20:40,533
tend we intend to build a

659
00:20:41,866 --> 00:20:42,116
stronger workforce at the same

660
00:20:43,599 --> 00:20:43,849
time there's a lot of industry

661
00:20:44,299 --> 00:20:44,549
pressures we've got a lot of

662
00:20:46,116 --> 00:20:46,366
retiring technicians so I've

663
00:20:47,849 --> 00:20:48,099
had the privilege to be at NoA

664
00:20:49,599 --> 00:20:49,849
for22 years and a lot of the

665
00:20:51,349 --> 00:20:51,599
folks that I served as the Hr

666
00:20:52,116 --> 00:20:52,366
person are coming to saying

667
00:20:53,649 --> 00:20:53,899
Joel, I think I'm ready to

668
00:20:55,433 --> 00:20:55,683
retire while I'm happy for them

669
00:20:56,133 --> 00:20:56,383
it makes me nervous because

670
00:20:56,683 --> 00:20:56,933
these

671
00:20:58,416 --> 00:20:58,666
folks have forgotten more about

672
00:21:00,199 --> 00:21:00,449
things than our new technicians

673
00:21:03,349 --> 00:21:03,599
could possibly learn. So we also

674
00:21:04,133 --> 00:21:04,383
see that there is an increased

675
00:21:06,116 --> 00:21:06,366
demand for specialized skills

676
00:21:07,833 --> 00:21:08,083
the tightening labor competition

677
00:21:09,833 --> 00:21:10,083
and our workforce development

678
00:21:11,616 --> 00:21:11,866
model is based on practical

679
00:21:13,849 --> 00:21:14,099
immersion meaningful mentorship

680
00:21:15,599 --> 00:21:15,849
and early professional

681
00:21:17,366 --> 00:21:17,616
expectations. So I want to

682
00:21:17,999 --> 00:21:18,249
comment on a couple of those

683
00:21:19,599 --> 00:21:19,849
here. So practical immersion so

684
00:21:20,316 --> 00:21:20,566
we are actually we're doing

685
00:21:22,083 --> 00:21:22,333
something intulsa right now

686
00:21:23,366 --> 00:21:23,616
with with the junior

687
00:21:25,366 --> 00:21:25,616
achievementgan organization and

688
00:21:25,999 --> 00:21:26,249
my boss Bailey Siegfried likes

689
00:21:26,683 --> 00:21:26,933
to say

690
00:21:28,283 --> 00:21:28,533
kids can't be what they can't

691
00:21:29,816 --> 00:21:30,066
see so we have designed this

692
00:21:31,866 --> 00:21:32,116
whole thing for what's called

693
00:21:33,333 --> 00:21:33,583
junior achievement in this town

694
00:21:34,033 --> 00:21:34,283
where younger kids were talking

695
00:21:35,833 --> 00:21:36,083
elementary school kids get to

696
00:21:37,816 --> 00:21:38,066
see how you put composites

697
00:21:39,833 --> 00:21:40,083
together, how you bond we

698
00:21:40,399 --> 00:21:40,649
talk about how you buck rivets

699
00:21:43,349 --> 00:21:43,599
how you create aerospace parts

700
00:21:44,116 --> 00:21:44,366
so at NoA we manufacture

701
00:21:46,099 --> 00:21:46,349
assemble and repair aerospace

702
00:21:47,599 --> 00:21:47,849
parts which does include we're

703
00:21:49,366 --> 00:21:49,616
very proud to say we do things

704
00:21:50,083 --> 00:21:50,333
for space as well we actually

705
00:21:51,816 --> 00:21:52,066
create some of the harnesses and

706
00:21:53,599 --> 00:21:53,849
that's something we added to our

707
00:21:55,616 --> 00:21:55,866
repertoire a couple of years

708
00:21:56,283 --> 00:21:56,533
ago. so

709
00:21:58,133 --> 00:21:58,383
that's something that we do we

710
00:21:59,583 --> 00:21:59,833
want to immerse them into what

711
00:22:01,366 --> 00:22:01,616
they do the other thing we do is

712
00:22:03,566 --> 00:22:03,816
we do I talked about those

713
00:22:05,349 --> 00:22:05,599
that soft skill readiness. Now I

714
00:22:06,049 --> 00:22:06,299
think everyone in this room

715
00:22:07,849 --> 00:22:08,099
knows what soft skills means and

716
00:22:09,333 --> 00:22:09,583
that is but what we're finding

717
00:22:11,366 --> 00:22:11,616
is and it's no disrespect but

718
00:22:12,133 --> 00:22:12,383
we're finding that the the

719
00:22:13,866 --> 00:22:14,116
newer workforce is having

720
00:22:16,166 --> 00:22:16,416
trouble getting to work on time

721
00:22:17,866 --> 00:22:18,116
anyone experienced that

722
00:22:19,866 --> 00:22:20,116
before or they're like like wait

723
00:22:21,599 --> 00:22:21,849
I have to stay until what now

724
00:22:22,366 --> 00:22:22,616
and so just trying to work

725
00:22:23,866 --> 00:22:24,116
through all of that so something

726
00:22:25,383 --> 00:22:25,633
we do so we do a lot of

727
00:22:25,899 --> 00:22:26,149
interpersonal skills as well

728
00:22:28,316 --> 00:22:28,566
I think it was stayed well by

729
00:22:29,849 --> 00:22:30,099
the gentleman over here that

730
00:22:33,349 --> 00:22:33,599
we have a great just a great a

731
00:22:34,049 --> 00:22:34,299
great future workforce in

732
00:22:35,349 --> 00:22:35,599
Oklahoma but they need that

733
00:22:36,083 --> 00:22:36,333
mentoring and what what you

734
00:22:37,816 --> 00:22:38,066
might assume that they know they

735
00:22:39,566 --> 00:22:39,816
don't and from those when you

736
00:22:40,299 --> 00:22:40,549
find those being able to develop

737
00:22:41,599 --> 00:22:41,849
those skills so that

738
00:22:43,383 --> 00:22:43,633
interpersonal skills is really

739
00:22:44,083 --> 00:22:44,333
important to us as well. And

740
00:22:45,866 --> 00:22:46,116
then we also go from we have

741
00:22:47,833 --> 00:22:48,083
classroom type training as well

742
00:22:49,566 --> 00:22:49,816
as hands on training so I

743
00:22:51,583 --> 00:22:51,833
mentioned that NordA I have6

744
00:22:52,333 --> 00:22:52,583
technical trainers that are all

745
00:22:53,833 --> 00:22:54,083
former shop floor production

746
00:22:55,549 --> 00:22:55,799
workers and they run classes

747
00:22:56,233 --> 00:22:56,483
they start in the classroom

748
00:22:57,833 --> 00:22:58,083
and then they actually go out

749
00:22:59,649 --> 00:22:59,899
and they work with the actual

750
00:23:01,349 --> 00:23:01,599
equipment they're mentored we

751
00:23:02,099 --> 00:23:02,349
have what's called a co pilot

752
00:23:04,083 --> 00:23:04,333
program and we call it

753
00:23:05,866 --> 00:23:06,116
it's a stakeholders is what we

754
00:23:07,866 --> 00:23:08,116
call our employees because our

755
00:23:09,849 --> 00:23:10,099
founderRa Siegfried felt that

756
00:23:10,449 --> 00:23:10,699
everyone had a stake in the

757
00:23:11,849 --> 00:23:12,099
company so we call it sore to

758
00:23:13,599 --> 00:23:13,849
fit with aerospace stakeholder

759
00:23:15,883 --> 00:23:16,133
onboarding and retention is what

760
00:23:17,599 --> 00:23:17,849
we work on so they start in the

761
00:23:19,333 --> 00:23:19,583
classroom and then they go and

762
00:23:20,083 --> 00:23:20,333
they and they get all of this

763
00:23:21,849 --> 00:23:22,099
experience with a co pilot or a

764
00:23:23,649 --> 00:23:23,899
or like a battle buddy next

765
00:23:24,266 --> 00:23:24,516
to them that's teaching them how

766
00:23:25,566 --> 00:23:25,816
to build the parts that we need

767
00:23:26,216 --> 00:23:26,466
to do so how are we

768
00:23:29,583 --> 00:23:29,833
doing this inokklahoma here we

769
00:23:31,349 --> 00:23:31,599
are developing those pipelines

770
00:23:32,016 --> 00:23:32,266
we do partner with Choo

771
00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:33,849
aerospace and we actually have

772
00:23:34,299 --> 00:23:34,549
also we've done our first

773
00:23:35,583 --> 00:23:35,833
adjustment I'm very excited

774
00:23:37,349 --> 00:23:37,599
about this I got my operations

775
00:23:39,333 --> 00:23:39,583
leaders to consider a different

776
00:23:40,066 --> 00:23:40,316
work schedule outside of our

777
00:23:42,083 --> 00:23:42,333
normal to adjust for we had4

778
00:23:44,099 --> 00:23:44,349
high school students this summer

779
00:23:45,616 --> 00:23:45,866
that and two of them have

780
00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:47,849
converted to full time and one

781
00:23:49,366 --> 00:23:49,616
of them is still going to school

782
00:23:50,083 --> 00:23:50,333
but I had to say you got to let

783
00:23:51,583 --> 00:23:51,833
them go to school so you got to

784
00:23:52,299 --> 00:23:52,549
let them come at a different

785
00:23:53,599 --> 00:23:53,849
time than0500 in the morning

786
00:23:55,616 --> 00:23:55,866
when most of my other shop floor

787
00:23:56,299 --> 00:23:56,549
folks get there we have a very

788
00:23:57,866 --> 00:23:58,116
good partnership with

789
00:23:59,599 --> 00:23:59,849
Tulsachnology as well very proud

790
00:24:01,349 --> 00:24:01,599
to be a part of that always have

791
00:24:02,099 --> 00:24:02,349
been at Nordam75% of our

792
00:24:04,099 --> 00:24:04,349
workforce is the production and

793
00:24:05,983 --> 00:24:06,233
maintenance folks asm

794
00:24:07,583 --> 00:24:07,833
Briidenstein said that is the

795
00:24:09,583 --> 00:24:09,833
hardest skill to fill right now.

796
00:24:10,383 --> 00:24:10,633
I'm more worried about that than

797
00:24:11,866 --> 00:24:12,116
I am a salaried professional

798
00:24:13,633 --> 00:24:13,883
such as myself who has a degree.

799
00:24:15,349 --> 00:24:15,599
We need both but the

800
00:24:16,116 --> 00:24:16,366
production workforce that needs

801
00:24:18,116 --> 00:24:18,366
those skills CNC machines

802
00:24:20,116 --> 00:24:20,366
bonding bucking rivets all

803
00:24:20,716 --> 00:24:20,966
those things are part of that

804
00:24:24,083 --> 00:24:24,333
and so what we also see which I

805
00:24:25,599 --> 00:24:25,849
think all of you I think it was

806
00:24:27,333 --> 00:24:27,583
mentioned already the demand for

807
00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:28,383
skilled talent is growing

808
00:24:29,366 --> 00:24:29,616
shorter we've got a lot of

809
00:24:30,099 --> 00:24:30,349
retirements happening and

810
00:24:31,599 --> 00:24:31,849
therefore we've got to figure

811
00:24:33,349 --> 00:24:33,599
out a way to do that so growing

812
00:24:34,099 --> 00:24:34,349
our own through tulsa tech and

813
00:24:36,066 --> 00:24:36,316
actually in nordam itself

814
00:24:37,599 --> 00:24:37,849
where we'll bring on folks we

815
00:24:39,349 --> 00:24:39,599
have a great partnership with a

816
00:24:40,083 --> 00:24:40,333
temporary agency. I'll be doing

817
00:24:41,366 --> 00:24:41,616
that tomorrow morning every

818
00:24:43,366 --> 00:24:43,616
other week I speak with them and

819
00:24:44,116 --> 00:24:44,366
I give them I ask them how many

820
00:24:45,866 --> 00:24:46,116
of you here want to put in a

821
00:24:47,933 --> 00:24:48,183
fair day's wage for a hard day's

822
00:24:49,383 --> 00:24:49,633
work and support your family.

823
00:24:49,999 --> 00:24:50,249
usuallysually everybody raises

824
00:24:50,683 --> 00:24:50,933
their hands and what I love to

825
00:24:51,349 --> 00:24:51,599
hear is the backgrounds that

826
00:24:53,583 --> 00:24:53,833
they come from and they'll say

827
00:24:55,349 --> 00:24:55,599
well I just worked at Walmart or

828
00:24:57,333 --> 00:24:57,583
I just worked at Panda express

829
00:24:58,066 --> 00:24:58,316
and I say well that's great

830
00:24:59,366 --> 00:24:59,616
because you know how to hustle

831
00:25:00,116 --> 00:25:00,366
you know how to multitask. I

832
00:25:01,849 --> 00:25:02,099
started when I was 16, I waited

833
00:25:03,349 --> 00:25:03,599
tables for eight years before I

834
00:25:04,049 --> 00:25:04,299
moved into my professional

835
00:25:05,833 --> 00:25:06,083
career. Man did I learn a whole

836
00:25:07,333 --> 00:25:07,583
lot of different things. I also

837
00:25:08,083 --> 00:25:08,333
learned the customers not always

838
00:25:09,599 --> 00:25:09,849
right but they're still the

839
00:25:10,199 --> 00:25:10,449
customer

840
00:25:10,449 --> 00:25:10,699
so

841
00:25:13,366 --> 00:25:13,616
with that being said there is

842
00:25:15,349 --> 00:25:15,599
a lot to be said about training

843
00:25:16,083 --> 00:25:16,333
and mentoring and really that's

844
00:25:18,083 --> 00:25:18,333
where Noram focuses is helping

845
00:25:19,583 --> 00:25:19,833
with all of those different

846
00:25:20,283 --> 00:25:20,533
skills so I'm going to pause

847
00:25:20,949 --> 00:25:21,199
there and I'm happy to take any

848
00:25:21,616 --> 00:25:21,866
questions

849
00:25:25,366 --> 00:25:25,616
to have members with questions

850
00:25:30,533 --> 00:25:30,783
Anyone? do we have anyone

851
00:25:31,549 --> 00:25:31,799
online? Questions OK.

852
00:25:36,116 --> 00:25:36,366
the question for you how many

853
00:25:37,849 --> 00:25:38,099
employees do you have currently?

854
00:25:39,599 --> 00:25:39,849
So currently in the United

855
00:25:41,333 --> 00:25:41,583
States we have 1500 employees

856
00:25:42,016 --> 00:25:42,266
and then I haven't me out of the

857
00:25:43,866 --> 00:25:44,116

858
00:25:45,866 --> 00:25:46,116

Oklahoma boeing is proud to be

954
00:29:12,516 --> 00:29:12,766
the largest

955
00:29:15,883 --> 00:29:16,133
defense contractor here in the

956
00:29:19,633 --> 00:29:19,883
state in Oklahoma's second

957
00:29:21,849 --> 00:29:22,099
largest industry we know that

958
00:29:23,649 --> 00:29:23,899
aviation and aerospace has

959
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:25,849
that44 billion dollars impact

960
00:29:31,349 --> 00:29:31,599
more than200,00,00 jobs

961
00:29:33,349 --> 00:29:33,599
across the state and about 15%

962
00:29:35,599 --> 00:29:35,849
of the employee base and

963
00:29:37,383 --> 00:29:37,633
we're proud to be located

964
00:29:38,199 --> 00:29:38,449
just right on the other side of

965
00:29:39,883 --> 00:29:40,133
the fence line of Tinker Air

966
00:29:41,666 --> 00:29:41,916
Force Base that has that7.5

967
00:29:42,316 --> 00:29:42,566
billion dollars economic impact

968
00:29:42,983 --> 00:29:43,233
for the

969
00:29:45,399 --> 00:29:45,649
state as our largest

970
00:29:45,849 --> 00:29:46,099
aerospace employer.

971
00:29:46,249 --> 00:29:46,499
and defense employer

972
00:29:52,133 --> 00:29:52,383
So when we look at umboeing's

973
00:29:55,349 --> 00:29:55,599
presence in Oklahoma City

974
00:29:57,416 --> 00:29:57,666
this data again we are

975
00:29:59,349 --> 00:29:59,599
refreshing it so this is just

976
00:30:01,399 --> 00:30:01,649
here to have conversation we

977
00:30:03,383 --> 00:30:03,633
have about 3500 employees right

978
00:30:05,866 --> 00:30:06,116
behind Tinker Air Force Base

979
00:30:07,383 --> 00:30:07,633
andres representative Norwood

980
00:30:10,116 --> 00:30:10,366
mentioned umboeing Tulsa as

981
00:30:13,683 --> 00:30:13,933
of this year we have brought

982
00:30:15,616 --> 00:30:15,866
spirit aeroystems back into the

983
00:30:17,666 --> 00:30:17,916
boeing family and so we now have

984
00:30:18,416 --> 00:30:18,666
an additional about 1,5

985
00:30:21,466 --> 00:30:21,716
0 employees making that total

986
00:30:23,866 --> 00:30:24,116
about4,700 boeing teammates that

987
00:30:26,133 --> 00:30:26,383
we have in the state of Oklahoma

988
00:30:28,066 --> 00:30:28,316
are proud that our spend is more

989
00:30:31,333 --> 00:30:31,583
than630 million dollars in

990
00:30:33,866 --> 00:30:34,116
Oklahoma and we have nearly 100

991
00:30:36,149 --> 00:30:36,399
suppliers here in the state as

992
00:30:39,616 --> 00:30:39,866
well. we have facilities

993
00:30:41,866 --> 00:30:42,116
right behind Tinker that's some

994
00:30:43,899 --> 00:30:44,149
of the data of of the size of

995
00:30:45,899 --> 00:30:46,149
our campus and the other pieces

996
00:30:47,816 --> 00:30:48,066
we value hiring veterans

997
00:30:51,399 --> 00:30:51,649
about 1/4 of our teammates in

998
00:30:53,366 --> 00:30:53,616
Boeing Oklahoma City are

999
00:30:54,183 --> 00:30:54,433
veterans and we want to continue

1000
00:30:54,849 --> 00:30:55,099
growing that number

1001
00:30:56,049 --> 00:30:56,299
to have that talent

1002
00:31:00,449 --> 00:31:00,699
and that's a little bit of

1003
00:31:00,999 --> 00:31:01,249
history

1004
00:31:03,649 --> 00:31:03,899
so when you look at the history

1005
00:31:04,333 --> 00:31:04,583
of of tiker

1006
00:31:08,099 --> 00:31:08,349
that ties into the history

1007
00:31:10,349 --> 00:31:10,599
of of boeing's presence in in

1008
00:31:13,633 --> 00:31:13,883
Oklahoma City so in the fiftiess

1009
00:31:17,433 --> 00:31:17,683
we were established here

1010
00:31:17,916 --> 00:31:18,166
and over those years our

1011
00:31:20,149 --> 00:31:20,399
capabilities have continued to

1012
00:31:23,883 --> 00:31:24,133
grow we had even just

1013
00:31:27,633 --> 00:31:27,883
maybe 1f to20 years ago right

1014
00:31:30,133 --> 00:31:30,383
about two a few 100 employees

1015
00:31:33,799 --> 00:31:34,049
in the Oklahoma City area and

1016
00:31:34,466 --> 00:31:34,716
over the past decade

1017
00:31:37,849 --> 00:31:38,099
those capabilities continue

1018
00:31:39,883 --> 00:31:40,133
to grow and we're able to hire

1019
00:31:41,416 --> 00:31:41,666
more folks to come work with us

1020
00:31:43,883 --> 00:31:44,133
to now build that 3500 person

1021
00:31:47,849 --> 00:31:48,099
workforce we have space in

1022
00:31:51,633 --> 00:31:51,883
convergence tower now as of this

1023
00:31:52,349 --> 00:31:52,599
past year where we have some of

1024
00:31:54,066 --> 00:31:54,316
our digital capabilities efforts

1025
00:31:54,733 --> 00:31:54,983
happening

1026
00:32:00,099 --> 00:32:00,349
So what do we do specifically in

1027
00:32:00,766 --> 00:32:01,016
Oklahoma City?

1028
00:32:03,633 --> 00:32:03,883
I mentioned that we have 3

1029
00:32:06,149 --> 00:32:06,399
businesses two of those three

1030
00:32:07,916 --> 00:32:08,166
businesses are focused here in

1031
00:32:09,399 --> 00:32:09,649
the Oklahoma cityity area that

1032
00:32:11,666 --> 00:32:11,916
defence space and security in

1033
00:32:13,616 --> 00:32:13,866
our global services work so

1034
00:32:15,649 --> 00:32:15,899
this slide shows you the

1035
00:32:17,366 --> 00:32:17,616
different programs and

1036
00:32:18,383 --> 00:32:18,633
capabilities that that we hope

1037
00:32:19,716 --> 00:32:19,966
to support proudly in

1038
00:32:21,683 --> 00:32:21,933
inokklahoma City. So one thing I

1039
00:32:23,666 --> 00:32:23,916
love to brag about is when we

1040
00:32:24,316 --> 00:32:24,566
talk about those blue bottom

1041
00:32:27,433 --> 00:32:27,683
planes for executive transport

1042
00:32:29,699 --> 00:32:29,949
so Air Force One and others

1043
00:32:30,283 --> 00:32:30,533
and the fleet of aircraft for

1044
00:32:33,383 --> 00:32:33,633
executives in our allied

1045
00:32:34,116 --> 00:32:34,366
countries around the world our

1046
00:32:35,633 --> 00:32:35,883
teammates in Oklahoma City do

1047
00:32:37,916 --> 00:32:38,166
the engineering for that. we

1048
00:32:39,649 --> 00:32:39,899
have a division

1049
00:32:41,383 --> 00:32:41,633
calledmobility surveillance and

1050
00:32:43,416 --> 00:32:43,666
Bomers that is

1051
00:32:46,216 --> 00:32:46,466
we like to say headquartered but

1052
00:32:47,683 --> 00:32:47,933
they're a strong presence here

1053
00:32:49,649 --> 00:32:49,899
in Oklahoma City so executive

1054
00:32:51,666 --> 00:32:51,916
transport falls up under that

1055
00:32:54,133 --> 00:32:54,383
bombers modifications fall

1056
00:32:57,849 --> 00:32:58,099
under that and our AEW and C

1057
00:33:01,866 --> 00:33:02,116
so those Awax and E3 E7

1058
00:33:03,933 --> 00:33:04,183
aircraft are those things that

1059
00:33:05,616 --> 00:33:05,866
we help engineer here in

1060
00:33:07,666 --> 00:33:07,916
Oklahoma City and then you'll

1061
00:33:09,633 --> 00:33:09,883
see we have about 1000 employees

1062
00:33:11,399 --> 00:33:11,649
focused on ouroweinglobalervices

1063
00:33:13,433 --> 00:33:13,683
division for the the aftermarket

1064
00:33:14,099 --> 00:33:14,349
supports

1065
00:33:19,366 --> 00:33:19,616
for Kc46 Kc135 and all of

1066
00:33:19,966 --> 00:33:20,216
that different aircraft listed

1067
00:33:22,083 --> 00:33:22,333
there. one important piece

1068
00:33:23,816 --> 00:33:24,066
why I think this slide is

1069
00:33:25,349 --> 00:33:25,599
important for us to talk about

1070
00:33:28,333 --> 00:33:28,583
boeing Oklahoma City is

1071
00:33:31,399 --> 00:33:31,649
mainly an engineering firm we

1072
00:33:31,999 --> 00:33:32,249
consider this site an

1073
00:33:33,849 --> 00:33:34,099
engineering center of excellence

1074
00:33:37,649 --> 00:33:37,899
because over77% of the teammates

1075
00:33:38,383 --> 00:33:38,633
that work for us in Oklahoma

1076
00:33:40,366 --> 00:33:40,616
City are engineers and so what

1077
00:33:41,933 --> 00:33:42,183
we're talking about workforce

1078
00:33:43,366 --> 00:33:43,616
and apprenticeships we have

1079
00:33:43,933 --> 00:33:44,183
to be

1080
00:33:47,383 --> 00:33:47,633
creative in that because we

1081
00:33:48,149 --> 00:33:48,399
don't have a manufacturing

1082
00:33:49,949 --> 00:33:50,199
facility in Oklahoma City right

1083
00:33:51,899 --> 00:33:52,149
we're not producing aircraft in

1084
00:33:53,849 --> 00:33:54,099
the way that our teammates and

1085
00:33:57,616 --> 00:33:57,866
Puget Sound or in South Carolina

1086
00:33:59,583 --> 00:33:59,833
are doing right and so when it

1087
00:34:01,616 --> 00:34:01,866
comes to building that skill set

1088
00:34:03,349 --> 00:34:03,599
finding those creative

1089
00:34:05,616 --> 00:34:05,866
pathways to build the workforce

1090
00:34:07,599 --> 00:34:07,849
that we need especially locally

1091
00:34:09,899 --> 00:34:10,149
we have a few ways that we've

1092
00:34:11,399 --> 00:34:11,649
been investing in that from the

1093
00:34:13,383 --> 00:34:13,633
charitable side but also within

1094
00:34:14,049 --> 00:34:14,299
umboeing Oklahoma

1095
00:34:15,799 --> 00:34:16,049
City that I'll get to here in

1096
00:34:16,466 --> 00:34:16,716
a moment.

1097
00:34:19,333 --> 00:34:19,583
so this just goes through a list

1098
00:34:20,033 --> 00:34:20,283
of different capabilities that

1099
00:34:22,433 --> 00:34:22,683
we have in our expertise and

1100
00:34:23,883 --> 00:34:24,133
wheelhouse here inboeing

1101
00:34:24,449 --> 00:34:24,699
Oklahoma City.

1102
00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:28,449
and then

1103
00:34:33,866 --> 00:34:34,116
this slide what I love is

1104
00:34:35,599 --> 00:34:35,849
we like to tell especially

1105
00:34:38,099 --> 00:34:38,349
students who come to our campus

1106
00:34:40,099 --> 00:34:40,349
and visit that you don't have to

1107
00:34:41,849 --> 00:34:42,099
leave Oklahoma to be able to

1108
00:34:43,616 --> 00:34:43,866
make a difference around the

1109
00:34:45,833 --> 00:34:46,083
world and so this slidee just

1110
00:34:48,133 --> 00:34:48,383
gives you an idea of what the

1111
00:34:50,116 --> 00:34:50,366
products that we help support

1112
00:34:52,116 --> 00:34:52,366
with our engineering work. these

1113
00:34:53,666 --> 00:34:53,916
are the the countries around the

1114
00:34:55,599 --> 00:34:55,849
world that boeing employees get

1115
00:34:56,249 --> 00:34:56,499
to help make a difference for

1116
00:35:03,366 --> 00:35:03,616
all right so my lane of

1117
00:35:04,116 --> 00:35:04,366
boeing's work is on that

1118
00:35:06,116 --> 00:35:06,366
charitable side and so this

1119
00:35:09,366 --> 00:35:09,616
gives you just some insights for

1120
00:35:11,616 --> 00:35:11,866
our current grant season which

1121
00:35:13,616 --> 00:35:13,866
we're at the tail end of we

1122
00:35:15,633 --> 00:35:15,883
have our charitable focuses in

1123
00:35:17,383 --> 00:35:17,633
three core areas our futures our

1124
00:35:19,616 --> 00:35:19,866
heroes and our homes so our

1125
00:35:21,633 --> 00:35:21,883
future is very much for focused

1126
00:35:25,399 --> 00:35:25,649
on how do we build that stem

1127
00:35:26,383 --> 00:35:26,633
pipeline for the workforce

1128
00:35:29,416 --> 00:35:29,666
talents needed for the things

1129
00:35:30,066 --> 00:35:30,316
that administrative reidens

1130
00:35:32,099 --> 00:35:32,349
te in was talking about for the

1131
00:35:33,383 --> 00:35:33,633
manufacturing side but on the

1132
00:35:34,183 --> 00:35:34,433
engineering side because we do

1133
00:35:37,666 --> 00:35:37,916
need that local STEM talent

1134
00:35:39,666 --> 00:35:39,916
here in Oklahoma. We know that

1135
00:35:41,366 --> 00:35:41,616
when we can hire folks in

1136
00:35:42,083 --> 00:35:42,333
Oklahoma they're more likely to

1137
00:35:42,766 --> 00:35:43,016
stay

1138
00:35:45,899 --> 00:35:46,149
and we want those quality jobs

1139
00:35:48,166 --> 00:35:48,416
here for for those who grow

1140
00:35:50,133 --> 00:35:50,383
up here in Oklahoma and so we

1141
00:35:53,383 --> 00:35:53,633
have our strategy is focused on

1142
00:35:54,416 --> 00:35:54,666
from early childhood all the way

1143
00:35:59,383 --> 00:35:59,633
up through K-1w2 workforce

1144
00:36:01,899 --> 00:36:02,149
capabilities from the adult

1145
00:36:04,149 --> 00:36:04,399
workforce as well as higher

1146
00:36:05,883 --> 00:36:06,133
education we used to have two

1147
00:36:07,399 --> 00:36:07,649
separate buckets of higher

1148
00:36:08,183 --> 00:36:08,433
education over here and the

1149
00:36:10,149 --> 00:36:10,399
workforce over there but we've

1150
00:36:12,099 --> 00:36:12,349
really working to streamline

1151
00:36:12,749 --> 00:36:12,999
to ensure that we can

1152
00:36:15,933 --> 00:36:16,183
have that continuum to build

1153
00:36:19,383 --> 00:36:19,633
that pipeline needed our heroes

1154
00:36:21,383 --> 00:36:21,633
focused on veterans and their

1155
00:36:23,366 --> 00:36:23,616
families especially those

1156
00:36:24,133 --> 00:36:24,383
rehabilitation recovery supports

1157
00:36:25,933 --> 00:36:26,183
for veterans but also workforce

1158
00:36:27,883 --> 00:36:28,133
transition so that's something

1159
00:36:29,866 --> 00:36:30,116
that we want to grow in those

1160
00:36:31,883 --> 00:36:32,133
charitable supports and then

1161
00:36:34,166 --> 00:36:34,416
our homes that current focus

1162
00:36:35,633 --> 00:36:35,883
right now is has been recidivism

1163
00:36:36,299 --> 00:36:36,549
prevention

1164
00:36:39,433 --> 00:36:39,683
because we know that there

1165
00:36:41,883 --> 00:36:42,133
are barriers to entry in the

1166
00:36:43,416 --> 00:36:43,666
workforce when folks have

1167
00:36:47,933 --> 00:36:48,183
in those engagements with the

1168
00:36:49,383 --> 00:36:49,633
criminal justice system. so what

1169
00:36:51,383 --> 00:36:51,633
are those ways that we can help

1170
00:36:53,599 --> 00:36:53,849
support to alleviate those

1171
00:36:54,349 --> 00:36:54,599
touch points and grow

1172
00:36:55,883 --> 00:36:56,133
opportunities for more

1173
00:36:57,866 --> 00:36:58,116
Oklahomans to be able to have

1174
00:36:59,366 --> 00:36:59,616
quality jobs and care for their

1175
00:37:01,616 --> 00:37:01,866
families and all of that and

1176
00:37:03,599 --> 00:37:03,849
then we have a fund that our

1177
00:37:05,866 --> 00:37:06,116
employees completely run

1178
00:37:07,883 --> 00:37:08,133
themselves they deduct monies

1179
00:37:09,649 --> 00:37:09,899
from their payroll and then they

1180
00:37:11,666 --> 00:37:11,916
give dollars to health and human

1181
00:37:13,383 --> 00:37:13,633
services related causes and

1182
00:37:15,383 --> 00:37:15,633
these are the ones that were

1183
00:37:16,049 --> 00:37:16,299
selected for2025. they're in the

1184
00:37:19,366 --> 00:37:19,616
process of reading

1185
00:37:20,149 --> 00:37:20,399
applications and selecting

1186
00:37:20,733 --> 00:37:20,983
their2026 grantees.

1187
00:37:23,999 --> 00:37:24,249
right

1188
00:37:27,616 --> 00:37:27,866
so the conversation at hand. so

1189
00:37:31,616 --> 00:37:31,866
I mentioned earlier about us

1190
00:37:33,566 --> 00:37:33,816
being a engineering center of

1191
00:37:35,916 --> 00:37:36,166
excellence in in Oklahoma City

1192
00:37:39,633 --> 00:37:39,883
and so want to talk about

1193
00:37:41,699 --> 00:37:41,949
first our enterpriseide

1194
00:37:43,866 --> 00:37:44,116
technical apprenticeship

1195
00:37:46,366 --> 00:37:46,616
program because we do all kinds

1196
00:37:49,616 --> 00:37:49,866
of work all over the world and

1197
00:37:51,649 --> 00:37:51,899
we need talent of all types to

1198
00:37:52,349 --> 00:37:52,599
be able to help us achieve

1199
00:37:55,849 --> 00:37:56,099
the mission right? I'll talk

1200
00:37:57,383 --> 00:37:57,633
about some of the things that

1201
00:37:59,383 --> 00:37:59,633
we're doing locally and then

1202
00:37:59,999 --> 00:38:00,249
some of our charitable

1203
00:38:01,616 --> 00:38:01,866
investments that have been

1204
00:38:03,366 --> 00:38:03,616
really important that we

1205
00:38:03,883 --> 00:38:04,133
consider part of our workforce

1206
00:38:04,549 --> 00:38:04,799
strategy

1207
00:38:09,366 --> 00:38:09,616
so we have a technical

1208
00:38:11,833 --> 00:38:12,083
apprenticeship program that

1209
00:38:13,849 --> 00:38:14,099
helps us evolve for the changing

1210
00:38:15,633 --> 00:38:15,883
future of work it's an

1211
00:38:17,633 --> 00:38:17,883
accredited development program

1212
00:38:19,366 --> 00:38:19,616
to help folks gain those

1213
00:38:21,649 --> 00:38:21,899
technical skills for emerging

1214
00:38:24,299 --> 00:38:24,549
and indeman roles

1215
00:38:26,099 --> 00:38:26,349
participants will gain work in a

1216
00:38:27,866 --> 00:38:28,116
paid technical apprenticeship

1217
00:38:29,849 --> 00:38:30,099
program. they gained job ready

1218
00:38:31,899 --> 00:38:32,149
skills to become viable

1219
00:38:33,633 --> 00:38:33,883
candidates for full time roles

1220
00:38:34,299 --> 00:38:34,549
in aerospace and they get those

1221
00:38:36,066 --> 00:38:36,316
foundational hands on training

1222
00:38:38,049 --> 00:38:38,299
and the on the job development

1223
00:38:39,833 --> 00:38:40,083
experiences that result in

1224
00:38:41,566 --> 00:38:41,816
digital credentials and

1225
00:38:43,633 --> 00:38:43,883
milestone career achievements. I

1226
00:38:44,333 --> 00:38:44,583
know one thing that was

1227
00:38:45,616 --> 00:38:45,866
announced in the company

1228
00:38:46,183 --> 00:38:46,433
recently that there was

1229
00:38:49,349 --> 00:38:49,599
expansion with this program and

1230
00:38:51,599 --> 00:38:51,849
with Boeing South Carolina

1231
00:38:53,583 --> 00:38:53,833
where MOU was signed by one of

1232
00:38:55,599 --> 00:38:55,849
our leaders and so especially in

1233
00:38:57,366 --> 00:38:57,616
those areas where we have that

1234
00:38:58,099 --> 00:38:58,349
manufacturing presence this has

1235
00:39:00,099 --> 00:39:00,349
been a really important program

1236
00:39:02,099 --> 00:39:02,349
for us to grow talent

1237
00:39:03,599 --> 00:39:03,849
pipelines to

1238
00:39:07,416 --> 00:39:07,666
help us achieve our work

1239
00:39:07,966 --> 00:39:08,216
but I mentioned

1240
00:39:11,866 --> 00:39:12,116
for for what we do locally

1241
00:39:13,633 --> 00:39:13,883
actually let me let me go back

1242
00:39:15,616 --> 00:39:15,866
we have an internship program as

1243
00:39:18,099 --> 00:39:18,349
well that Boeing Enterprise

1244
00:39:20,333 --> 00:39:20,583
operates and what I love about

1245
00:39:22,099 --> 00:39:22,349
that internship program is that

1246
00:39:25,849 --> 00:39:26,099
if we hire students to come

1247
00:39:27,849 --> 00:39:28,099
work with us college students

1248
00:39:30,099 --> 00:39:30,349
boeing not only pays them a

1249
00:39:32,099 --> 00:39:32,349
salary but if they

1250
00:39:35,366 --> 00:39:35,616
are in that official program

1251
00:39:37,349 --> 00:39:37,599
they can start achieving

1252
00:39:37,899 --> 00:39:38,149
benefits right so they can

1253
00:39:42,116 --> 00:39:42,366
start getting their401k matched

1254
00:39:45,866 --> 00:39:46,116
boeing will help pay for their

1255
00:39:49,333 --> 00:39:49,583
education if they wanted to

1256
00:39:49,949 --> 00:39:50,199
continue their

1257
00:39:51,583 --> 00:39:51,833
bachelor's degree in

1258
00:39:53,349 --> 00:39:53,599
attainment. they wanted to get a

1259
00:39:55,599 --> 00:39:55,849
master's degree, a PhD whatever

1260
00:39:57,366 --> 00:39:57,616
as long as it is involved in a

1261
00:39:59,583 --> 00:39:59,833
hard stem field boeing

1262
00:40:01,883 --> 00:40:02,133
completely pays all the costs

1263
00:40:03,366 --> 00:40:03,616
for their schooling one of the

1264
00:40:03,999 --> 00:40:04,249
greatest examples I like to

1265
00:40:07,566 --> 00:40:07,816
think about is our senior

1266
00:40:08,116 --> 00:40:08,366
director of engineering for

1267
00:40:08,666 --> 00:40:08,916
mobility

1268
00:40:09,633 --> 00:40:09,883
s ur ve i ll ance of bombers

1269
00:40:11,349 --> 00:40:11,599
here in boeing Oklahoma City

1270
00:40:13,849 --> 00:40:14,099
Jeff Anderson he started as an

1271
00:40:14,516 --> 00:40:14,766
intern

1272
00:40:17,333 --> 00:40:17,583
he likes to say he's part of

1273
00:40:19,599 --> 00:40:19,849
both team OsU and OU because he

1274
00:40:21,366 --> 00:40:21,616
started his studies at OSU he

1275
00:40:23,366 --> 00:40:23,616
transferred to OU so that he can

1276
00:40:25,666 --> 00:40:25,916
continue his internship journey

1277
00:40:27,599 --> 00:40:27,849
with Boeing and the company paid

1278
00:40:31,349 --> 00:40:31,599
for his education paid for

1279
00:40:33,349 --> 00:40:33,599
his master's degree he's in the

1280
00:40:35,366 --> 00:40:35,616
process of his PhD that the

1281
00:40:37,366 --> 00:40:37,616
company's paying for but he's a

1282
00:40:38,033 --> 00:40:38,283
local person that's been able to

1283
00:40:38,699 --> 00:40:38,949
elevate

1284
00:40:41,349 --> 00:40:41,599
in such a high executive role

1285
00:40:43,883 --> 00:40:44,133
from Oklahoma right and those

1286
00:40:45,866 --> 00:40:46,116
opportunities came because of of

1287
00:40:47,333 --> 00:40:47,583
our internship program and

1288
00:40:48,149 --> 00:40:48,399
there's so many examples of

1289
00:40:50,349 --> 00:40:50,599
local students that from OU and

1290
00:40:52,133 --> 00:40:52,383
other places that get that

1291
00:40:55,583 --> 00:40:55,833
opportunity to have paid hands

1292
00:40:57,866 --> 00:40:58,116
on work and then transferred to

1293
00:40:58,533 --> 00:40:58,783
come work with us to gain those

1294
00:40:59,199 --> 00:40:59,449
engineering skills

1295
00:41:03,583 --> 00:41:03,833
for those opportunities when

1296
00:41:05,866 --> 00:41:06,116
we can't hire as many people

1297
00:41:07,333 --> 00:41:07,583
through that enterprise

1298
00:41:08,383 --> 00:41:08,633
internship program because again

1299
00:41:13,349 --> 00:41:13,599
it's it's a nationwide worldwide

1300
00:41:15,333 --> 00:41:15,583
type of program are Oklahoma

1301
00:41:18,116 --> 00:41:18,366
City site has a student

1302
00:41:19,849 --> 00:41:20,099
development internship programme

1303
00:41:21,833 --> 00:41:22,083
that focuses on both high school

1304
00:41:25,599 --> 00:41:25,849
students more of that senior

1305
00:41:28,133 --> 00:41:28,383
level as well as college

1306
00:41:29,549 --> 00:41:29,799
students to get additional

1307
00:41:30,116 --> 00:41:30,366
supports or we're able

1308
00:41:33,849 --> 00:41:34,099
to hire them on as contractors

1309
00:41:35,583 --> 00:41:35,833
in an engineering technician

1310
00:41:38,099 --> 00:41:38,349
role. so let's say we want to

1311
00:41:40,133 --> 00:41:40,383
see a different pathways to be

1312
00:41:43,349 --> 00:41:43,599
able to gain the skills needed

1313
00:41:45,833 --> 00:41:46,083
to be job ready for the

1314
00:41:47,599 --> 00:41:47,849
engineering work that we have

1315
00:41:49,833 --> 00:41:50,083
and the capabilities here and

1316
00:41:52,099 --> 00:41:52,349
so the high school students will

1317
00:41:56,133 --> 00:41:56,383
make somewhere between 17 to20

1318
00:41:58,116 --> 00:41:58,366
dollars an hour they're able to

1319
00:41:59,549 --> 00:41:59,799
get real experience with engine

1320
00:42:04,099 --> 00:42:04,349
ers we have an example of

1321
00:42:07,383 --> 00:42:07,633
a now teammate who went through

1322
00:42:08,433 --> 00:42:08,683
the program. I believe the

1323
00:42:09,899 --> 00:42:10,149
student was a student at the

1324
00:42:12,166 --> 00:42:12,416
Oklahoma school for Science and

1325
00:42:15,366 --> 00:42:15,616
mathematics they were able to

1326
00:42:17,666 --> 00:42:17,916
do essentially5 summers

1327
00:42:19,883 --> 00:42:20,133
withboeing so that student was

1328
00:42:23,366 --> 00:42:23,616
getting paid to learn gaining

1329
00:42:25,616 --> 00:42:25,866
the experience needed eventually

1330
00:42:28,166 --> 00:42:28,416
was able to be able to move into

1331
00:42:28,833 --> 00:42:29,083
a

1332
00:42:33,633 --> 00:42:33,883
a contract role but like a full

1333
00:42:37,349 --> 00:42:37,599
role within the company and

1334
00:42:39,416 --> 00:42:39,666
was able to start as a level2

1335
00:42:41,699 --> 00:42:41,949
engineer even before you know

1336
00:42:42,399 --> 00:42:42,649
completing a a college degree

1337
00:42:45,599 --> 00:42:45,849
and so

1338
00:42:48,133 --> 00:42:48,383
we want to have more examples of

1339
00:42:50,149 --> 00:42:50,399
that one of our charitable

1340
00:42:51,933 --> 00:42:52,183
investments is Oklahoma Aviation

1341
00:42:53,399 --> 00:42:53,649
academy and I'll talk about why

1342
00:42:54,349 --> 00:42:54,599
that's important to our

1343
00:42:55,883 --> 00:42:56,133
workforce strategy here in a

1344
00:42:57,849 --> 00:42:58,099
second but I'm proud that now

1345
00:42:59,383 --> 00:42:59,633
that they have their first

1346
00:43:01,883 --> 00:43:02,133
graduating class we've had two

1347
00:43:03,933 --> 00:43:04,183
Oklahoma aviation academy

1348
00:43:06,133 --> 00:43:06,383
students participate in that

1349
00:43:07,649 --> 00:43:07,899
internship program that I

1350
00:43:09,449 --> 00:43:09,699
mentioned. so those are high

1351
00:43:10,049 --> 00:43:10,299
school students that are earning

1352
00:43:13,616 --> 00:43:13,866
dollars but also getting the

1353
00:43:15,349 --> 00:43:15,599
professional skills and and

1354
00:43:16,133 --> 00:43:16,383
those entry level technical

1355
00:43:18,366 --> 00:43:18,616
skills to one keep their

1356
00:43:20,183 --> 00:43:20,433
interest in engineering and

1357
00:43:21,899 --> 00:43:22,149
hopefully support them as they

1358
00:43:22,599 --> 00:43:22,849
go into

1359
00:43:27,399 --> 00:43:27,649
college in their pathways into

1360
00:43:28,083 --> 00:43:28,333
engineering.

1361
00:43:31,383 --> 00:43:31,633
so want to move into our local

1362
00:43:32,149 --> 00:43:32,399
charitable investment so

1363
00:43:35,883 --> 00:43:36,133
we have supported the Oklahoma

1364
00:43:39,366 --> 00:43:39,616
aviation academy since its

1365
00:43:39,999 --> 00:43:40,249
inception

1366
00:43:42,183 --> 00:43:42,433
it's a public school embedded

1367
00:43:45,616 --> 00:43:45,866
aviation academy that's focused

1368
00:43:47,383 --> 00:43:47,633
on many different tracks. What I

1369
00:43:48,116 --> 00:43:48,366
love about the design of

1370
00:43:49,883 --> 00:43:50,133
Oklahoma aviation academy is

1371
00:43:51,883 --> 00:43:52,133
that the students don't have to

1372
00:43:53,383 --> 00:43:53,633
first of all they're able to

1373
00:43:55,849 --> 00:43:56,099
pull students from any of the

1374
00:43:57,633 --> 00:43:57,883
schools in norman public schools

1375
00:43:58,283 --> 00:43:58,533
the students are able to be

1376
00:44:01,899 --> 00:44:02,149
bu s s ed into right now they're

1377
00:44:04,349 --> 00:44:04,599
portables until they move into

1378
00:44:05,883 --> 00:44:06,133
the new space that the

1379
00:44:08,133 --> 00:44:08,383
taxpayers of Norman have

1380
00:44:09,899 --> 00:44:10,149
invested in that should be

1381
00:44:12,149 --> 00:44:12,399
completed in the coming months

1382
00:44:14,116 --> 00:44:14,366
but they're able to come on

1383
00:44:17,383 --> 00:44:17,633
site, get specialized training

1384
00:44:19,366 --> 00:44:19,616
and learning opportunities

1385
00:44:20,116 --> 00:44:20,366
and then go back to their school

1386
00:44:22,099 --> 00:44:22,349
right? So keep students from

1387
00:44:24,133 --> 00:44:24,383
saying oh like I got to be away

1388
00:44:25,633 --> 00:44:25,883
from my friends or I can't

1389
00:44:27,366 --> 00:44:27,616
participate and cheer or

1390
00:44:27,949 --> 00:44:28,199
anything of that nature it gives

1391
00:44:28,683 --> 00:44:28,933
them the opportunity

1392
00:44:31,849 --> 00:44:32,099
to get some specialized learning

1393
00:44:32,533 --> 00:44:32,783
and

1394
00:44:36,099 --> 00:44:36,349
still be able to be engaged in

1395
00:44:37,883 --> 00:44:38,133
their schools there I believe

1396
00:44:39,866 --> 00:44:40,116
there are more than400 students

1397
00:44:41,883 --> 00:44:42,133
now between 9th grade and 1w2th

1398
00:44:43,383 --> 00:44:43,633
grade who are now in this

1399
00:44:45,349 --> 00:44:45,599
program and they're able to pick

1400
00:44:46,066 --> 00:44:46,316
different tracks from

1401
00:44:49,833 --> 00:44:50,083
engineering drones they have

1402
00:44:53,383 --> 00:44:53,633
they're the only school in the

1403
00:44:54,449 --> 00:44:54,699
nation building two tango

1404
00:44:59,383 --> 00:44:59,633
flight aircraft simultaneously

1405
00:45:01,366 --> 00:45:01,616
and they're learning those

1406
00:45:03,366 --> 00:45:03,616
skills of

1407
00:45:06,116 --> 00:45:06,366
the importance of accuracy

1408
00:45:08,433 --> 00:45:08,683
how to do quality work and doing

1409
00:45:10,166 --> 00:45:10,416
the checks and working as a team

1410
00:45:13,366 --> 00:45:13,616
when those two aircraft have

1411
00:45:16,149 --> 00:45:16,399
been deemed flight worthy and

1412
00:45:17,899 --> 00:45:18,149
ready the students who have

1413
00:45:20,149 --> 00:45:20,399
their pilot's licenses will have

1414
00:45:22,099 --> 00:45:22,349
the ability to go and

1415
00:45:24,299 --> 00:45:24,549
fly the aircraft

1416
00:45:28,066 --> 00:45:28,316
so it's it's something really

1417
00:45:29,833 --> 00:45:30,083
special that the students are

1418
00:45:31,816 --> 00:45:32,066
getting those experiences and so

1419
00:45:32,533 --> 00:45:32,783
we have the investment in that

1420
00:45:33,833 --> 00:45:34,083
program and our hope is that

1421
00:45:36,083 --> 00:45:36,333
we'll start to see students

1422
00:45:38,099 --> 00:45:38,349
choose I believe there's about

1423
00:45:40,133 --> 00:45:40,383
maybe50 students at this time

1424
00:45:41,616 --> 00:45:41,866
that are focused on the

1425
00:45:43,666 --> 00:45:43,916
engineering track and so our

1426
00:45:45,483 --> 00:45:45,733
hope is that the students will

1427
00:45:47,749 --> 00:45:47,999
find their pathway in aerospace

1428
00:45:50,016 --> 00:45:50,266
and be able to have the supports

1429
00:45:51,749 --> 00:45:51,999
to be able to navigate a program

1430
00:45:53,799 --> 00:45:54,049
like the studentvelopment

1431
00:45:54,349 --> 00:45:54,599
internship programme or to

1432
00:45:54,916 --> 00:45:55,166
choose

1433
00:45:59,583 --> 00:45:59,833
to go to a local college

1434
00:46:01,633 --> 00:46:01,883
university to pursue engineering

1435
00:46:02,333 --> 00:46:02,583
and other things because they

1436
00:46:04,383 --> 00:46:04,633
have the exposure and the tools

1437
00:46:06,099 --> 00:46:06,349
that they need to be able to to

1438
00:46:06,766 --> 00:46:07,016
complete that

1439
00:46:10,149 --> 00:46:10,399
our other investment most

1440
00:46:14,433 --> 00:46:14,683
recentlyboeing made an $825,000

1441
00:46:16,216 --> 00:46:16,466
investment into more Norman

1442
00:46:18,483 --> 00:46:18,733
Technology Center to ensure

1443
00:46:20,266 --> 00:46:20,516
that we can expand

1444
00:46:26,283 --> 00:46:26,533
the ways that are talent

1445
00:46:28,516 --> 00:46:28,766
pipeline is being trained. I

1446
00:46:30,233 --> 00:46:30,483
mentioned that we do not have a

1447
00:46:32,049 --> 00:46:32,299
manufacturing facility in

1448
00:46:34,216 --> 00:46:34,466
Oklahoma City so a lot of our

1449
00:46:34,816 --> 00:46:35,066
teammates have the

1450
00:46:38,833 --> 00:46:39,083
knowledge for like catrons

1451
00:46:39,849 --> 00:46:40,099
different things but they don't

1452
00:46:41,766 --> 00:46:42,016
have that ability to touch the

1453
00:46:42,466 --> 00:46:42,716
product in the same way

1454
00:46:45,999 --> 00:46:46,249
our teammates in in other parts

1455
00:46:48,049 --> 00:46:48,299
of the country do and so we were

1456
00:46:50,299 --> 00:46:50,549
able to start in phase one to

1457
00:46:53,716 --> 00:46:53,966
invest to replicate our advert

1458
00:46:55,999 --> 00:46:56,249
advanced visualization and

1459
00:46:58,183 --> 00:46:58,433
immersive development lab called

1460
00:47:00,199 --> 00:47:00,449
avilab that has different

1461
00:47:01,633 --> 00:47:01,883
digital capabilities

1462
00:47:02,083 --> 00:47:02,333
that

1463
00:47:04,599 --> 00:47:04,849
pairwe with being able to

1464
00:47:11,916 --> 00:47:12,166
Sorry my mommy brain is sitting

1465
00:47:15,633 --> 00:47:15,883
had a baby seven months ago

1466
00:47:19,866 --> 00:47:20,116
that help students be able to do

1467
00:47:21,883 --> 00:47:22,133
scanning technologies

1468
00:47:23,849 --> 00:47:24,099
prototyping other things that

1469
00:47:26,349 --> 00:47:26,599
help us build that accuracy when

1470
00:47:30,116 --> 00:47:30,366
we are working for modifying

1471
00:47:32,133 --> 00:47:32,383
aircraft and and doing those

1472
00:47:34,366 --> 00:47:34,616
supports that help save time and

1473
00:47:37,633 --> 00:47:37,883
money have that accuracy

1474
00:47:40,366 --> 00:47:40,616
safety etc. and so we want

1475
00:47:41,933 --> 00:47:42,183
more professionals and student

1476
00:47:45,833 --> 00:47:46,083
s to have exposure to those

1477
00:47:47,833 --> 00:47:48,083
technologies and so more norman

1478
00:47:50,066 --> 00:47:50,316
Technology Center in their avit

1479
00:47:51,766 --> 00:47:52,016
lab will have much of the

1480
00:47:55,766 --> 00:47:56,016
equipment that we use to be able

1481
00:47:56,499 --> 00:47:56,749
to for example do

1482
00:47:59,983 --> 00:48:00,233
modeling and scaling and

1483
00:48:01,949 --> 00:48:02,199
prototyping in that capacity

1484
00:48:05,499 --> 00:48:05,749
the second phase of that is

1485
00:48:07,999 --> 00:48:08,249
an aircraft to be able to

1486
00:48:09,666 --> 00:48:09,916
then do some hands on learning

1487
00:48:11,683 --> 00:48:11,933
and build that credentialing

1488
00:48:13,866 --> 00:48:14,116
for our talent for our

1489
00:48:17,649 --> 00:48:17,899
students but also for the

1490
00:48:18,149 --> 00:48:18,399
current workforce to grow

1491
00:48:21,883 --> 00:48:22,133
I think that is everything

1492
00:48:24,183 --> 00:48:24,433
that I had for what we're

1493
00:48:25,833 --> 00:48:26,083
invested in what we're doing

1494
00:48:28,149 --> 00:48:28,399
locally and investments and

1495
00:48:30,383 --> 00:48:30,633
apprenticeships so I will stop

1496
00:48:31,949 --> 00:48:32,199
there and take any questions. Do

1497
00:48:32,616 --> 00:48:32,866
I have members with questions?

1498
00:48:41,916 --> 00:48:42,166
I do I do have one question

1499
00:48:45,349 --> 00:48:45,599
thank you madam chairwoman

1500
00:48:46,366 --> 00:48:46,616
your entry point of that is at

1501
00:48:47,016 --> 00:48:47,266
eighth grade

1502
00:48:49,883 --> 00:48:50,133
for entering into that is that

1503
00:48:51,383 --> 00:48:51,633
where the application process

1504
00:48:52,183 --> 00:48:52,433
they come out of STEM in the

1505
00:48:53,899 --> 00:48:54,149
eighth grade and they move into

1506
00:48:56,116 --> 00:48:56,366
9th through seniors on some of

1507
00:48:59,399 --> 00:48:59,649
this for the aviation yes

1508
00:49:01,616 --> 00:49:01,866
and one thing I will add as well

1509
00:49:02,449 --> 00:49:02,699
with the investment that we have

1510
00:49:04,183 --> 00:49:04,433
in more norman Technology Center

1511
00:49:07,366 --> 00:49:07,616
it covers both students and

1512
00:49:10,183 --> 00:49:10,433
more and and norman as well so

1513
00:49:12,216 --> 00:49:12,466
not just Okoma aviation academy

1514
00:49:13,883 --> 00:49:14,133
students will have access to

1515
00:49:14,449 --> 00:49:14,699
that

1516
00:49:16,133 --> 00:49:16,383
they recruit in middle school

1517
00:49:20,133 --> 00:49:20,383
and they even go as further back

1518
00:49:21,649 --> 00:49:21,899
as elementary school with some

1519
00:49:23,649 --> 00:49:23,899
of the stem nights and part of

1520
00:49:25,633 --> 00:49:25,883
the goal with the

1521
00:49:27,399 --> 00:49:27,649
technologies that we'll have at

1522
00:49:29,349 --> 00:49:29,599
more norman Technology Center is

1523
00:49:31,399 --> 00:49:31,649
to have some of those early

1524
00:49:32,166 --> 00:49:32,416
exposures to do tours with

1525
00:49:33,866 --> 00:49:34,116
students to get them excited so

1526
00:49:36,099 --> 00:49:36,349
that way they'll be inspired to

1527
00:49:39,599 --> 00:49:39,849
enroll when they enter

1528
00:49:41,383 --> 00:49:41,633
theirinth grade year but yes 9th

1529
00:49:43,833 --> 00:49:44,083
grade is that entry point for

1530
00:49:45,399 --> 00:49:45,649
Oklahoma aviation academy and

1531
00:49:46,083 --> 00:49:46,333
then they do start recruiting

1532
00:49:49,399 --> 00:49:49,649
elementary school but especially

1533
00:49:50,049 --> 00:49:50,299
hard in middle school.

1534
00:49:53,649 --> 00:49:53,899
I do have one more question

1535
00:49:55,383 --> 00:49:55,633
asking if you're going to look

1536
00:49:56,149 --> 00:49:56,399
at doing that into the tulsa

1537
00:49:59,899 --> 00:50:00,149
Owaso broken arrow area is

1538
00:50:01,633 --> 00:50:01,883
that something you're looking to

1539
00:50:03,366 --> 00:50:03,616
advance as well because I I

1540
00:50:03,949 --> 00:50:04,199
understand on this side of the

1541
00:50:04,583 --> 00:50:04,833
state there's some things that

1542
00:50:05,383 --> 00:50:05,633
are happening I'd like to see

1543
00:50:07,366 --> 00:50:07,616
happen on our side of the state

1544
00:50:08,149 --> 00:50:08,399
one of the most exciting things

1545
00:50:09,883 --> 00:50:10,133
is we are seeing the expansion

1546
00:50:13,366 --> 00:50:13,616
of more programs that model

1547
00:50:14,149 --> 00:50:14,399
what docomme aviation academy is

1548
00:50:16,149 --> 00:50:16,399
doing and and we need more of

1549
00:50:18,166 --> 00:50:18,416
them one thing I love right

1550
00:50:21,483 --> 00:50:21,733
now is that they have a

1551
00:50:22,049 --> 00:50:22,299
partnership with

1552
00:50:25,883 --> 00:50:26,133
a virtual opportunity where

1553
00:50:27,866 --> 00:50:28,116
students anywhere around the

1554
00:50:29,883 --> 00:50:30,133
state of Oklahoma can engage in

1555
00:50:31,883 --> 00:50:32,133
the curriculum and the

1556
00:50:33,366 --> 00:50:33,616
different things that they're

1557
00:50:35,333 --> 00:50:35,583
doing with Oklahoma aviation

1558
00:50:36,399 --> 00:50:36,649
academy and so especially now

1559
00:50:38,166 --> 00:50:38,416
that we've had our growth into

1560
00:50:39,866 --> 00:50:40,116
the Tulsa area. we definitely

1561
00:50:41,899 --> 00:50:42,149
want to see more

1562
00:50:43,399 --> 00:50:43,649
opportunities to support

1563
00:50:43,966 --> 00:50:44,216
programs like that.

1564
00:50:48,149 --> 00:50:48,399
Do you have any more members'

1565
00:50:48,816 --> 00:50:49,066
questions?

1566
00:50:51,916 --> 00:50:52,166
go ahead with your question

1567
00:50:56,083 --> 00:50:56,333
I appreciate you allowing me

1568
00:50:57,333 --> 00:50:57,583
to ask a question.

1569
00:50:58,299 --> 00:50:58,549
good to see you good to see you

1570
00:51:01,349 --> 00:51:01,599
as well obviously I've been to

1571
00:51:03,349 --> 00:51:03,599
the boeing facility there and

1572
00:51:04,116 --> 00:51:04,366
spoken with the engineers and

1573
00:51:07,366 --> 00:51:07,616
what an amazing group of highly

1574
00:51:08,049 --> 00:51:08,299
talented especially young

1575
00:51:09,849 --> 00:51:10,099
people. I was surprised with how

1576
00:51:11,716 --> 00:51:11,966
young the the group there was

1577
00:51:16,166 --> 00:51:16,416
I was also struck by how so much

1578
00:51:18,183 --> 00:51:18,433
of the engineering talent there

1579
00:51:21,366 --> 00:51:21,616
had worked in space.boeing

1580
00:51:23,366 --> 00:51:23,616
builds rockets the SLs

1581
00:51:26,283 --> 00:51:26,533
satelliteswGS boeing you know

1582
00:51:27,599 --> 00:51:27,849
manages the

1583
00:51:29,883 --> 00:51:30,133
internationalpaceation that all

1584
00:51:31,833 --> 00:51:32,083
of that talent not all of it but

1585
00:51:32,499 --> 00:51:32,749
a lot of talent

1586
00:51:35,599 --> 00:51:35,849
that was there had worked in

1587
00:51:39,833 --> 00:51:40,083
space do doesboeing ever as

1588
00:51:41,599 --> 00:51:41,849
quantum space we're in a

1589
00:51:42,299 --> 00:51:42,549
situation where we're expanding

1590
00:51:43,883 --> 00:51:44,133
quickly we're still in startup

1591
00:51:47,849 --> 00:51:48,099
mode. and in in many respects

1592
00:51:49,583 --> 00:51:49,833
we don't really know what our

1593
00:51:51,366 --> 00:51:51,616
workforce needs are going to

1594
00:51:53,883 --> 00:51:54,133
be234 years from now because

1595
00:51:55,633 --> 00:51:55,883
we're we're still learning a lot

1596
00:51:57,633 --> 00:51:57,883
and quite frankly the spacece

1597
00:51:59,349 --> 00:51:59,599
forcece budget keeps changing

1598
00:52:01,349 --> 00:52:01,599
faster than we can keep up with

1599
00:52:01,983 --> 00:52:02,233
that being said

1600
00:52:06,149 --> 00:52:06,399
does Boeing ever outsource any

1601
00:52:07,899 --> 00:52:08,149
of that talent to other

1602
00:52:10,083 --> 00:52:10,333
companies that might need

1603
00:52:11,666 --> 00:52:11,916
engineering talent but can't

1604
00:52:13,849 --> 00:52:14,099
commit for like you know a a you

1605
00:52:16,083 --> 00:52:16,333
know aw-2 employee. Do you guys

1606
00:52:17,849 --> 00:52:18,099
ever do that kind of stuff for

1607
00:52:19,599 --> 00:52:19,849
for other companies just out of

1608
00:52:21,599 --> 00:52:21,849
curiosity that is a great

1609
00:52:23,866 --> 00:52:24,116
question. I don't know about

1610
00:52:26,083 --> 00:52:26,333
outsourcing but I do know that

1611
00:52:30,149 --> 00:52:30,399
we have much contractual work

1612
00:52:32,049 --> 00:52:32,299
right for folks who may not be

1613
00:52:32,716 --> 00:52:32,966
those fulltimeboeing

1614
00:52:35,383 --> 00:52:35,633
employees that helped to to

1615
00:52:37,383 --> 00:52:37,633
supplement and support the work

1616
00:52:39,616 --> 00:52:39,866
definitely a lot of work

1617
00:52:41,866 --> 00:52:42,116
within our supplier base and

1618
00:52:45,883 --> 00:52:46,133
then we have a lot of subsidiary

1619
00:52:47,616 --> 00:52:47,866
companies like the acquisition

1620
00:52:49,333 --> 00:52:49,583
of Spirit that then also

1621
00:52:51,849 --> 00:52:52,099
provides different capabilities

1622
00:52:53,866 --> 00:52:54,116
and so I will work to get a

1623
00:52:55,633 --> 00:52:55,883
more specific answer to you of

1624
00:52:57,366 --> 00:52:57,616
of how we do that but I know for

1625
00:52:59,333 --> 00:52:59,583
sure that we have much

1626
00:53:00,133 --> 00:53:00,383
contractual work that also

1627
00:53:01,883 --> 00:53:02,133
supports what we do awesome

1628
00:53:02,433 --> 00:53:02,683
thank you you're welcome

1629
00:53:06,083 --> 00:53:06,333
thank you I'm gonna make this

1630
00:53:08,049 --> 00:53:08,299
statement I've said it 1000

1631
00:53:09,833 --> 00:53:10,083
times since I've been here but

1632
00:53:11,566 --> 00:53:11,816
this may be one of my last times

1633
00:53:13,383 --> 00:53:13,633
I'll get to be here when I came

1634
00:53:14,066 --> 00:53:14,316
to the legislature there was a

1635
00:53:15,849 --> 00:53:16,099
program that existed between

1636
00:53:17,633 --> 00:53:17,883
metrotech rose State College and

1637
00:53:19,616 --> 00:53:19,866
the University of Oklahoma and

1638
00:53:21,883 --> 00:53:22,133
in the from the time a

1639
00:53:23,366 --> 00:53:23,616
student was a junior in high

1640
00:53:25,633 --> 00:53:25,883
school and that two years plus

1641
00:53:27,333 --> 00:53:27,583
two years at roseate plus two

1642
00:53:28,283 --> 00:53:28,533
years at OU they would end up

1643
00:53:31,366 --> 00:53:31,616
with an aerospace engineering

1644
00:53:32,149 --> 00:53:32,399
degree that was did I mention it

1645
00:53:32,816 --> 00:53:33,066
was part of a federal

1646
00:53:35,599 --> 00:53:35,849
grant that program doesn't exist

1647
00:53:37,816 --> 00:53:38,066
anymore or it didn't last

1648
00:53:40,083 --> 00:53:40,333
time I asked I have ever

1649
00:53:41,883 --> 00:53:42,133
since I heard about that I feel

1650
00:53:43,333 --> 00:53:43,583
like that is something that

1651
00:53:45,816 --> 00:53:46,066
needs to be reinstated and

1652
00:53:47,633 --> 00:53:47,883
replicated not just for

1653
00:53:51,349 --> 00:53:51,599
aerospace but honestly for every

1654
00:53:53,616 --> 00:53:53,866
industry that requires more and

1655
00:53:55,333 --> 00:53:55,583
more education and more and more

1656
00:53:58,299 --> 00:53:58,549
expertise and so I feel like

1657
00:53:59,883 --> 00:54:00,133
this is the one room where

1658
00:54:01,849 --> 00:54:02,099
that's not falling on deaf ears

1659
00:54:02,483 --> 00:54:02,733
so I'm gonna I'm this my

1660
00:54:05,616 --> 00:54:05,866
mentioning that again as I go

1661
00:54:07,816 --> 00:54:08,066
into obscurity and private life

1662
00:54:11,799 --> 00:54:12,049
but we need to make that

1663
00:54:14,049 --> 00:54:14,299
happen in the future because we

1664
00:54:16,249 --> 00:54:16,499
know that when we take Oklahoma

1665
00:54:19,366 --> 00:54:19,616
students we know they're

1666
00:54:21,333 --> 00:54:21,583
better at applied math and

1667
00:54:22,049 --> 00:54:22,299
applied science than most

1668
00:54:25,333 --> 00:54:25,583
students in our country and so I

1669
00:54:26,033 --> 00:54:26,283
think that is part of that

1670
00:54:29,816 --> 00:54:30,066
Oklahoma factor that we have and

1671
00:54:30,549 --> 00:54:30,799
we need to

1672
00:54:33,866 --> 00:54:34,116
we need to remind our students

1673
00:54:35,383 --> 00:54:35,633
that that's what we're made of

1674
00:54:37,366 --> 00:54:37,616
and we need to make more of

1675
00:54:38,049 --> 00:54:38,299
these programs happen in the

1676
00:54:41,533 --> 00:54:41,783
futures thank you madam

1677
00:54:43,833 --> 00:54:44,083
chairir I I am excited that

1678
00:54:45,349 --> 00:54:45,599
you mentioned particularly rose

1679
00:54:46,083 --> 00:54:46,333
State College because they are

1680
00:54:48,066 --> 00:54:48,316
one of our charitable partners

1681
00:54:50,066 --> 00:54:50,316
not only from the lens of

1682
00:54:51,816 --> 00:54:52,066
finding the different pathways

1683
00:54:55,566 --> 00:54:55,816
to have talent grow and learn

1684
00:54:57,599 --> 00:54:57,849
into the engineering disciplines

1685
00:54:59,849 --> 00:55:00,099
but also even training our

1686
00:55:00,383 --> 00:55:00,633
employees so we have a

1687
00:55:00,833 --> 00:55:01,083
partnership with rose State

1688
00:55:01,383 --> 00:55:01,633
College

1689
00:55:04,016 --> 00:55:04,266
where they're helping to train

1690
00:55:05,799 --> 00:55:06,049
our our engineers here locally

1691
00:55:07,816 --> 00:55:08,066
and so having those different

1692
00:55:09,833 --> 00:55:10,083
pathways will be powerful to

1693
00:55:11,333 --> 00:55:11,583
achieve the things that that you

1694
00:55:12,033 --> 00:55:12,283
mentioned and so we we agree on

1695
00:55:12,716 --> 00:55:12,966
that

1696
00:55:14,083 --> 00:55:14,333
so thank you Representative

1697
00:55:15,616 --> 00:55:15,866
Norwood I'll turn it back over

1698
00:55:17,866 --> 00:55:18,116
to you thank you so much Bailey

1699
00:55:19,566 --> 00:55:19,816
for presenting today

1700
00:55:22,066 --> 00:55:22,316
bobbystem is here today

1701
00:55:25,883 --> 00:55:26,133
struction with AGC and when I

1702
00:55:27,866 --> 00:55:28,116
was asking questions when I was

1703
00:55:31,366 --> 00:55:31,616
asking questions around about

1704
00:55:33,599 --> 00:55:33,849
construction and about this

1705
00:55:36,099 --> 00:55:36,349
your name kept coming up and it

1706
00:55:37,366 --> 00:55:37,616
was like you've got to meet

1707
00:55:39,366 --> 00:55:39,616
Bobby because he's doing what

1708
00:55:40,116 --> 00:55:40,366
you're asking about so I'm very

1709
00:55:41,549 --> 00:55:41,799
very happy to have you here with

1710
00:55:42,233 --> 00:55:42,483
us

1711
00:55:44,133 --> 00:55:44,383
today. thank you for taking

1712
00:55:45,833 --> 00:55:46,083
we're moving from aerospace now

1713
00:55:47,583 --> 00:55:47,833
to construction but thank you

1714
00:55:48,266 --> 00:55:48,516
for being with us today thank

1715
00:55:50,083 --> 00:55:50,333
you madam chair members of the

1716
00:55:50,716 --> 00:55:50,966
committeepresentative thank you

1717
00:55:54,099 --> 00:55:54,349
my name is Bobby Stem I'm

1718
00:55:55,583 --> 00:55:55,833
executive director of the

1719
00:55:56,183 --> 00:55:56,433
association of Oklahoma General

1720
00:55:59,849 --> 00:56:00,099
Contractors and while our our

1721
00:56:01,549 --> 00:56:01,799
programs not nearly as robust as

1722
00:56:03,583 --> 00:56:03,833
Boeing we've recently in the

1723
00:56:05,583 --> 00:56:05,833
last few years began

1724
00:56:07,816 --> 00:56:08,066
it a program we call them our

1725
00:56:09,616 --> 00:56:09,866
construction clubs so we've got

1726
00:56:11,366 --> 00:56:11,616
two different types of programs

1727
00:56:12,133 --> 00:56:12,383
we'll call them our our flyover

1728
00:56:13,599 --> 00:56:13,849
schools and then our

1729
00:56:16,116 --> 00:56:16,366
construction clubs we have a

1730
00:56:17,599 --> 00:56:17,849
a young man who was a teacher

1731
00:56:19,833 --> 00:56:20,083
and a former coach that runs

1732
00:56:21,416 --> 00:56:21,666
our program and so he has some

1733
00:56:22,083 --> 00:56:22,333
great access into the schools

1734
00:56:22,683 --> 00:56:22,933
across the state

1735
00:56:25,549 --> 00:56:25,799
but he will go to just about

1736
00:56:27,566 --> 00:56:27,816
any school in the state and talk

1737
00:56:29,316 --> 00:56:29,566
about careers in construction

1738
00:56:30,016 --> 00:56:30,266
and when I say careers in

1739
00:56:31,349 --> 00:56:31,599
construction we mean that

1740
00:56:31,949 --> 00:56:32,199
because I don't know that people

1741
00:56:33,366 --> 00:56:33,616
look at the construction workers

1742
00:56:34,099 --> 00:56:34,349
on the side of the road and see

1743
00:56:35,833 --> 00:56:36,083
that as a career they see it as

1744
00:56:37,816 --> 00:56:38,066
a job but it truly is a career

1745
00:56:39,566 --> 00:56:39,816
it's something you can start and

1746
00:56:41,566 --> 00:56:41,816
and not too long from that

1747
00:56:42,283 --> 00:56:42,533
date actually end up in a

1748
00:56:44,066 --> 00:56:44,316
management type position so so

1749
00:56:45,833 --> 00:56:46,083
our flyover schools and it's

1750
00:56:47,349 --> 00:56:47,599
just to get out the information

1751
00:56:48,033 --> 00:56:48,283
to the schools and we're talking

1752
00:56:49,833 --> 00:56:50,083
high schools mostly so freshmen

1753
00:56:52,099 --> 00:56:52,349
and seniors he'll make the

1754
00:56:52,649 --> 00:56:52,899
initial appearance and then if

1755
00:56:53,316 --> 00:56:53,566
that

1756
00:56:55,333 --> 00:56:55,583
school says that they want to be

1757
00:56:57,316 --> 00:56:57,566
a construction club then he

1758
00:56:58,083 --> 00:56:58,333
returns and has at least4 touch

1759
00:56:59,816 --> 00:57:00,066
points with that school over the

1760
00:57:01,633 --> 00:57:01,883
year and so the first one is the

1761
00:57:02,349 --> 00:57:02,599
introduction to construction the

1762
00:57:03,833 --> 00:57:04,083
second one is he'll take our

1763
00:57:07,349 --> 00:57:07,599
virtual reality headsets in

1764
00:57:08,149 --> 00:57:08,399
we connect it to the computers

1765
00:57:09,866 --> 00:57:10,116
catterpillar has got all the

1766
00:57:12,066 --> 00:57:12,316
equipment that's to spec we can

1767
00:57:13,566 --> 00:57:13,816
fasten it to tables the pedals

1768
00:57:15,616 --> 00:57:15,866
and the different handles and

1769
00:57:17,349 --> 00:57:17,599
stuff the joysticks and they get

1770
00:57:18,099 --> 00:57:18,349
to do that and they think that's

1771
00:57:19,683 --> 00:57:19,933
fun because it's cool and it's

1772
00:57:20,349 --> 00:57:20,599
technology that they understand

1773
00:57:22,099 --> 00:57:22,349
and then we do some type of the

1774
00:57:24,033 --> 00:57:24,283
third is a field visit of some

1775
00:57:26,033 --> 00:57:26,283
of some sort a field trip and

1776
00:57:27,566 --> 00:57:27,816
where we take this kids out and

1777
00:57:29,316 --> 00:57:29,566
let them go see something

1778
00:57:29,899 --> 00:57:30,149
interesting being built a

1779
00:57:31,316 --> 00:57:31,566
challenge we have is you can't

1780
00:57:32,266 --> 00:57:32,516
take them on live job sites so

1781
00:57:33,816 --> 00:57:34,066
that's really our real challenge

1782
00:57:35,366 --> 00:57:35,616
you won't hear me talk about

1783
00:57:36,083 --> 00:57:36,333
apprenticeships or or

1784
00:57:38,083 --> 00:57:38,333
internships that's Whitney's

1785
00:57:39,816 --> 00:57:40,066
kind of expertise right there

1786
00:57:41,333 --> 00:57:41,583
but it's because it's hard to

1787
00:57:43,333 --> 00:57:43,583
get we have they've got to be 18

1788
00:57:44,033 --> 00:57:44,283
to be out there and so our

1789
00:57:45,349 --> 00:57:45,599
construction clubs we hope fill

1790
00:57:47,366 --> 00:57:47,616
that void and then the fourth

1791
00:57:47,983 --> 00:57:48,233
thing that we try to do when

1792
00:57:49,616 --> 00:57:49,866
they hit the senior level is

1793
00:57:51,383 --> 00:57:51,633
we realize that we

1794
00:57:54,049 --> 00:57:54,299
can't bring them to construction

1795
00:57:54,699 --> 00:57:54,949
so we've got to bring

1796
00:57:56,099 --> 00:57:56,349
construction to them so we

1797
00:57:57,849 --> 00:57:58,099
purchased the five acres just

1798
00:57:59,833 --> 00:58:00,083
east of our building at41st and

1799
00:58:02,049 --> 00:58:02,299
andlinncoln and we actually

1800
00:58:03,566 --> 00:58:03,816
have a high school heavy

1801
00:58:04,066 --> 00:58:04,316
equipment rodeo out there a

1802
00:58:05,833 --> 00:58:06,083
couple times a year we have the

1803
00:58:07,349 --> 00:58:07,599
kids come out crawl on

1804
00:58:08,099 --> 00:58:08,349
equipment, do some competition

1805
00:58:09,816 --> 00:58:10,066
if you haven't seen it in a

1806
00:58:11,583 --> 00:58:11,833
while you should come see this

1807
00:58:14,099 --> 00:58:14,349
but imagine seeing 30 high

1808
00:58:17,333 --> 00:58:17,583
school kids wait for it without

1809
00:58:18,116 --> 00:58:18,366
a cellphone in their hand it's

1810
00:58:19,583 --> 00:58:19,833
amazing they they act like kids

1811
00:58:21,416 --> 00:58:21,666
again it's crazy we take all

1812
00:58:22,083 --> 00:58:22,333
their cellphones

1813
00:58:23,583 --> 00:58:23,833
away from them they can't go

1814
00:58:24,316 --> 00:58:24,566
onto the acreage around the

1815
00:58:25,849 --> 00:58:26,099
heavy equipment with any of the

1816
00:58:27,583 --> 00:58:27,833
cell phones it's because of the

1817
00:58:28,316 --> 00:58:28,566
safety but it's weird what

1818
00:58:29,849 --> 00:58:30,099
happens within about 30 seconds

1819
00:58:32,083 --> 00:58:32,333
they go from this to cheering

1820
00:58:33,816 --> 00:58:34,066
their friends on because they're

1821
00:58:35,333 --> 00:58:35,583
on that equipment and they're

1822
00:58:35,949 --> 00:58:36,199
trying to do some obstacle

1823
00:58:37,866 --> 00:58:38,116
courses and stuff so that's

1824
00:58:39,349 --> 00:58:39,599
kind of our highs that's our

1825
00:58:40,133 --> 00:58:40,383
high school program that we have

1826
00:58:41,349 --> 00:58:41,599
we go a little bit into the

1827
00:58:42,116 --> 00:58:42,366
junior highs most of those are

1828
00:58:43,849 --> 00:58:44,099
day visits we'll take some of

1829
00:58:45,333 --> 00:58:45,583
the equipment in and let them

1830
00:58:47,349 --> 00:58:47,599
play on it. and then we've

1831
00:58:48,116 --> 00:58:48,366
had some elementary school

1832
00:58:49,599 --> 00:58:49,849
stopins as well but you know our

1833
00:58:51,416 --> 00:58:51,666
workforce development is also

1834
00:58:52,083 --> 00:58:52,333
not just these

1835
00:58:55,599 --> 00:58:55,849
kids as we we we do work

1836
00:58:57,849 --> 00:58:58,099
with job Joborps as well because

1837
00:58:59,333 --> 00:58:59,583
they've got kids that are in a

1838
00:59:00,049 --> 00:59:00,299
transition period in their life

1839
00:59:03,333 --> 00:59:03,583
but also something that we're

1840
00:59:04,049 --> 00:59:04,299
that I'm very excited about

1841
00:59:05,583 --> 00:59:05,833
personally because I've seen it

1842
00:59:07,349 --> 00:59:07,599
work firsthand with my cousin

1843
00:59:09,583 --> 00:59:09,833
but reentry you know job

1844
00:59:11,349 --> 00:59:11,599
workforce development's not just

1845
00:59:12,149 --> 00:59:12,399
about an 18 year old it could be

1846
00:59:14,099 --> 00:59:14,349
about a ir1y year old young man

1847
00:59:15,849 --> 00:59:16,099
or woman who's wanting to create

1848
00:59:17,833 --> 00:59:18,083
a second life for themselves and

1849
00:59:19,349 --> 00:59:19,599
you can do that here my my my

1850
00:59:20,116 --> 00:59:20,366
cousin and I'll tell the story

1851
00:59:21,399 --> 00:59:21,649
with pride but he'd spent all of

1852
00:59:22,066 --> 00:59:22,316
his

1853
00:59:24,333 --> 00:59:24,583
life in and out of prison and

1854
00:59:25,883 --> 00:59:26,133
then about 10 years ago when he

1855
00:59:27,583 --> 00:59:27,833
got out we connected for the

1856
00:59:29,566 --> 00:59:29,816
first time as in our as

1857
00:59:31,583 --> 00:59:31,833
adults and within a day he

1858
00:59:32,183 --> 00:59:32,433
was working at Sherwood

1859
00:59:33,833 --> 00:59:34,083
struction two years later

1860
00:59:35,549 --> 00:59:35,799
Caterpillar had picked him up.

1861
00:59:36,266 --> 00:59:36,516
he's been out of prison he's a

1862
00:59:37,599 --> 00:59:37,849
father he's a grandfather and

1863
00:59:39,333 --> 00:59:39,583
he's been out of prison for 1010

1864
00:59:41,349 --> 00:59:41,599
years that's workforce and life

1865
00:59:42,066 --> 00:59:42,316
development and we're kind of

1866
00:59:43,599 --> 00:59:43,849
excited about that but that's a

1867
00:59:44,233 --> 00:59:44,483
little bit about our program

1868
00:59:45,633 --> 00:59:45,883
happyppy to take questions about

1869
00:59:47,349 --> 00:59:47,599
it it's kind of simple basic but

1870
00:59:48,149 --> 00:59:48,399
it's a ton of fun and we enjoy

1871
00:59:50,083 --> 00:59:50,333
doing it so any any questions at

1872
00:59:51,416 --> 00:59:51,666
all and Whitney's gonna grow on

1873
00:59:52,099 --> 00:59:52,349
our

1874
00:59:53,833 --> 00:59:54,083
kind of expand on that or did

1875
00:59:55,583 --> 00:59:55,833
you ever gowhitney did you ok

1876
00:59:56,183 --> 00:59:56,433
hot dog she'll expand on that

1877
00:59:57,833 --> 00:59:58,083
I'm sure so any any questions

1878
00:59:58,483 --> 00:59:58,733
for me

1879
01:00:03,599 --> 01:00:03,849
I I do have a question because

1880
01:00:05,333 --> 01:00:05,583
we had a conversation about this

1881
01:00:07,599 --> 01:00:07,849
about the requirement of

1882
01:00:09,316 --> 01:00:09,566
being on a job site they can't

1883
01:00:11,316 --> 01:00:11,566
do it until they're 18 So trying

1884
01:00:12,316 --> 01:00:12,566
to figure out I I do appreciate

1885
01:00:13,833 --> 01:00:14,083
that you're bringing it to them

1886
01:00:17,566 --> 01:00:17,816
or doing construction clubs

1887
01:00:19,816 --> 01:00:20,066
what's the challenges of that of

1888
01:00:21,583 --> 01:00:21,833
of getting in and and getting

1889
01:00:24,316 --> 01:00:24,566
access to say 16 to18 year old

1890
01:00:27,349 --> 01:00:27,599
what have you found to be the

1891
01:00:28,133 --> 01:00:28,383
difficult I don't know that you

1892
01:00:29,866 --> 01:00:30,116
can change what age you can be

1893
01:00:30,499 --> 01:00:30,749
on a a job site but

1894
01:00:33,349 --> 01:00:33,599
maybe some of your challenges

1895
01:00:35,333 --> 01:00:35,583
there yeah you know it has been

1896
01:00:36,049 --> 01:00:36,299
what because what I'd really

1897
01:00:37,549 --> 01:00:37,799
love to do is I'd love to get

1898
01:00:39,333 --> 01:00:39,583
them out on that if they got out

1899
01:00:41,549 --> 01:00:41,799
on a live job sites it's it's

1900
01:00:42,249 --> 01:00:42,499
first of all it's very dangerous

1901
01:00:43,866 --> 01:00:44,116
you know we just lost one of our

1902
01:00:45,366 --> 01:00:45,616
flaggers last week in an

1903
01:00:47,333 --> 01:00:47,583
accident so please slow down and

1904
01:00:49,349 --> 01:00:49,599
work zones but it's it's it's

1905
01:00:51,599 --> 01:00:51,849
dangerous it's sometimes we kind

1906
01:00:53,566 --> 01:00:53,816
of fast paceed I mean if it's

1907
01:00:54,249 --> 01:00:54,499
interesting work but what I say

1908
01:00:55,599 --> 01:00:55,849
to anybody getting into it is

1909
01:00:57,583 --> 01:00:57,833
it's just like the military no

1910
01:00:59,366 --> 01:00:59,616
matter if you're going into the

1911
01:01:00,116 --> 01:01:00,366
army to become a general you're

1912
01:01:00,783 --> 01:01:01,033
still going to spend the first

1913
01:01:01,449 --> 01:01:01,699
six months

1914
01:01:03,349 --> 01:01:03,599
in basic training getting your

1915
01:01:04,083 --> 01:01:04,333
teeth kicked in and so you've

1916
01:01:05,566 --> 01:01:05,816
got to just know that if you're

1917
01:01:06,266 --> 01:01:06,516
gonna come work construction

1918
01:01:07,816 --> 01:01:08,066
it's gonna be very difficult and

1919
01:01:09,333 --> 01:01:09,583
then you'll start to grow into

1920
01:01:11,333 --> 01:01:11,583
that so just getting them out

1921
01:01:11,949 --> 01:01:12,199
there and letting them see the

1922
01:01:12,549 --> 01:01:12,799
reality because our turnover

1923
01:01:13,833 --> 01:01:14,083
rate's high but I would love to

1924
01:01:15,366 --> 01:01:15,616
get them out there and and see

1925
01:01:16,116 --> 01:01:16,366
the big pieces of machinery

1926
01:01:18,099 --> 01:01:18,349
being operated the big beams

1927
01:01:19,833 --> 01:01:20,083
that are that are being placed

1928
01:01:21,349 --> 01:01:21,599
in and believe it or not it

1929
01:01:22,116 --> 01:01:22,366
doesn't look like it's highly

1930
01:01:23,816 --> 01:01:24,066
technical but but it is it's

1931
01:01:25,866 --> 01:01:26,116
very technical I don't some

1932
01:01:27,916 --> 01:01:28,166
of my aerospace friends might

1933
01:01:28,583 --> 01:01:28,833
understand this stuff better

1934
01:01:29,949 --> 01:01:30,199
than me but we had a very very

1935
01:01:30,633 --> 01:01:30,883
large beam needing to be placed

1936
01:01:33,583 --> 01:01:33,833
recently and I would love we had

1937
01:01:35,333 --> 01:01:35,583
some kids come up we had a

1938
01:01:35,916 --> 01:01:36,166
couple dozen kids come out that

1939
01:01:37,599 --> 01:01:37,849
we wanted to watch this so they

1940
01:01:39,599 --> 01:01:39,849
that didn't matter you know

1941
01:01:40,166 --> 01:01:40,416
there's some kids that are that

1942
01:01:41,566 --> 01:01:41,816
they they're not sure that they

1943
01:01:42,266 --> 01:01:42,516
want to be an engineer but all

1944
01:01:43,349 --> 01:01:43,599
of a sudden they see something

1945
01:01:44,066 --> 01:01:44,316
and it inspires them and so we

1946
01:01:45,849 --> 01:01:46,099
had we had some remote

1947
01:01:47,833 --> 01:01:48,083
controlled drone type things on

1948
01:01:49,583 --> 01:01:49,833
each side of this bridge beam

1949
01:01:51,349 --> 01:01:51,599
just because it was such a large

1950
01:01:53,333 --> 01:01:53,583
beam and so heavy

1951
01:01:53,833 --> 01:01:54,083
does it was

1952
01:01:56,083 --> 01:01:56,333
80 ton beam there's no way four

1953
01:01:58,099 --> 01:01:58,349
men could take a rope and

1954
01:01:59,616 --> 01:01:59,866
position it to where it could be

1955
01:02:00,366 --> 01:02:00,616
dropped onto the headers so they

1956
01:02:01,016 --> 01:02:01,266
actually

1957
01:02:03,866 --> 01:02:04,116
fastened these drone type they

1958
01:02:05,333 --> 01:02:05,583
weren't drones they didn't have

1959
01:02:06,033 --> 01:02:06,283
little propellers they had

1960
01:02:07,849 --> 01:02:08,099
turbine small turbine engines

1961
01:02:09,616 --> 01:02:09,866
where they would move this thing

1962
01:02:11,333 --> 01:02:11,583
in midair and that was something

1963
01:02:12,333 --> 01:02:12,583
that it was confined and so we

1964
01:02:13,849 --> 01:02:14,099
could have the kids step back a

1965
01:02:14,533 --> 01:02:14,783
little bit and they weren't in

1966
01:02:15,883 --> 01:02:16,133
live traffic so we looked for

1967
01:02:18,083 --> 01:02:18,333
opportunities like that but that

1968
01:02:19,849 --> 01:02:20,099
that's few and far between so

1969
01:02:21,349 --> 01:02:21,599
that's why we had to bring it

1970
01:02:22,099 --> 01:02:22,349
out there we get them out on the

1971
01:02:23,566 --> 01:02:23,816
skid steers and the miniature

1972
01:02:24,333 --> 01:02:24,583
loaders and stuff and but that's

1973
01:02:25,866 --> 01:02:26,116
after they've played with the

1974
01:02:26,549 --> 01:02:26,799
technology and they feel a bit

1975
01:02:27,866 --> 01:02:28,116
more comfortable. I think we

1976
01:02:30,049 --> 01:02:30,299
have orwaso Ram academy is one

1977
01:02:30,716 --> 01:02:30,966
of our clubs so

1978
01:02:33,599 --> 01:02:33,849
and it's an alternative type

1979
01:02:34,199 --> 01:02:34,449
school for those kids that were

1980
01:02:36,033 --> 01:02:36,283
maybe maybe having some

1981
01:02:37,799 --> 01:02:38,049
challenges in the traditional

1982
01:02:39,816 --> 01:02:40,066
environment so it's we'll we'll

1983
01:02:41,316 --> 01:02:41,566
go just about anywhere they want

1984
01:02:42,066 --> 01:02:42,316
us to go and tell the story it's

1985
01:02:42,733 --> 01:02:42,983
good careers out there

1986
01:02:47,699 --> 01:02:47,949
Any more questions

1987
01:02:56,033 --> 01:02:56,283

Scott Mccadoo with us he is our

2012
01:03:42,099 --> 01:03:42,349
president at structMuture I

2013
01:03:43,399 --> 01:03:43,649
did want to mention that like

2014
01:03:47,549 --> 01:03:47,799
Bobbystem and his his classes

2015
01:03:49,383 --> 01:03:49,633
over there he actually we have

2016
01:03:50,099 --> 01:03:50,349
an internship program which will

2017
01:03:51,849 --> 01:03:52,099
tell a little bit more about but

2018
01:03:53,883 --> 01:03:54,133
his guy over there has made a

2019
01:03:56,133 --> 01:03:56,383
sandbox tool which he didn't

2020
01:03:57,849 --> 01:03:58,099
elaborate a little bit but our

2021
01:03:59,333 --> 01:03:59,583
interns are getting trained on

2022
01:04:00,099 --> 01:04:00,349
how to teach elementary school

2023
01:04:01,849 --> 01:04:02,099
students how to do this and

2024
01:04:03,883 --> 01:04:04,133
they'll be in over 35 elementary

2025
01:04:05,599 --> 01:04:05,849
schools teaching the elementary

2026
01:04:07,383 --> 01:04:07,633
schools alongside the heavy

2027
01:04:08,099 --> 01:04:08,349
highway people this year so

2028
01:04:13,649 --> 01:04:13,899
yeah

2029
01:04:15,883 --> 01:04:16,133
like Whitney said my name is

2030
01:04:18,133 --> 01:04:18,383
Scott McAdoo I've been in a

2031
01:04:21,416 --> 01:04:21,666
longtime educator 3 irish years

2032
01:04:22,133 --> 01:04:22,383
and served for Oklahombia

2033
01:04:23,733 --> 01:04:23,983
City public schools as an

2034
01:04:25,633 --> 01:04:25,883
educator principal and director

2035
01:04:27,366 --> 01:04:27,616
for workforce development.

2036
01:04:29,383 --> 01:04:29,633
uhwhitney and I both represent

2037
01:04:31,333 --> 01:04:31,583
here today struct myuture.

2038
01:04:32,083 --> 01:04:32,333
What we'd like to do is to to

2039
01:04:33,649 --> 01:04:33,899
start broad and dive

2040
01:04:35,366 --> 01:04:35,616
specifically into our internship

2041
01:04:37,366 --> 01:04:37,616
program we want you to look at

2042
01:04:38,116 --> 01:04:38,366
the discussions we'll have today

2043
01:04:38,783 --> 01:04:39,033
regarding the

2044
01:04:41,383 --> 01:04:41,633
ho l istic development of

2045
01:04:43,916 --> 01:04:44,166
students in the workforce one of

2046
01:04:45,666 --> 01:04:45,916
the things that we hear time and

2047
01:04:47,366 --> 01:04:47,616
again when we work with industry

2048
01:04:49,883 --> 01:04:50,133
partners they say Scott

2049
01:04:51,616 --> 01:04:51,866
Whitney we can train them when

2050
01:04:53,899 --> 01:04:54,149
they get here a lot of times but

2051
01:04:55,616 --> 01:04:55,866
what we need them to do on day

2052
01:04:57,649 --> 01:04:57,899
one is to show up and then come

2053
01:04:59,349 --> 01:04:59,599
back on day two. That tells a

2054
01:05:01,349 --> 01:05:01,599
story of delayed gratification

2055
01:05:02,116 --> 01:05:02,366
that tells the story of

2056
01:05:03,649 --> 01:05:03,899
persistence that tells the story

2057
01:05:05,883 --> 01:05:06,133
of the need to develop something

2058
01:05:07,649 --> 01:05:07,899
more than just putting students

2059
01:05:08,316 --> 01:05:08,566
in a position in an internship

2060
01:05:11,849 --> 01:05:12,099
agnostic from any other

2061
01:05:13,649 --> 01:05:13,899
element of discussion. So I'd

2062
01:05:15,349 --> 01:05:15,599
like to to walk through a couple

2063
01:05:16,083 --> 01:05:16,333
of the things that we do today

2064
01:05:17,599 --> 01:05:17,849
and then Whitney will dive into

2065
01:05:19,633 --> 01:05:19,883
that internship program quite

2066
01:05:21,383 --> 01:05:21,633
simply everybody here knows

2067
01:05:22,133 --> 01:05:22,383
and remembers that time when you

2068
01:05:23,883 --> 01:05:24,133
decided that thing you wanted to

2069
01:05:25,599 --> 01:05:25,849
be and whether you became that

2070
01:05:27,366 --> 01:05:27,616
thing or you become some other

2071
01:05:29,616 --> 01:05:29,866
things you had a dream. one of

2072
01:05:30,266 --> 01:05:30,516
the things I point out as an

2073
01:05:32,166 --> 01:05:32,416
educator regardless of what part

2074
01:05:33,399 --> 01:05:33,649
of the city you're from, what

2075
01:05:35,383 --> 01:05:35,633
your family structure looks like

2076
01:05:37,683 --> 01:05:37,933
or any other variables you have

2077
01:05:38,349 --> 01:05:38,599
a dream. Every student I ever

2078
01:05:38,999 --> 01:05:39,249
worked with in my

2079
01:05:41,916 --> 01:05:42,166
entire life thousands all have a

2080
01:05:43,866 --> 01:05:44,116
dream. The question is do they

2081
01:05:45,899 --> 01:05:46,149
have the infrastructure? do they

2082
01:05:47,366 --> 01:05:47,616
have the scaffolding? that they

2083
01:05:49,366 --> 01:05:49,616
have the networking to help

2084
01:05:50,383 --> 01:05:50,633
accomplish that dream. I

2085
01:05:51,883 --> 01:05:52,133
appreciate you represented No in

2086
01:05:53,633 --> 01:05:53,883
pointing out outlier's book

2087
01:05:55,899 --> 01:05:56,149
Gladwell in the book points out

2088
01:05:57,599 --> 01:05:57,849
something we call the Matthew

2089
01:05:59,599 --> 01:05:59,849
effect. that book that that

2090
01:06:01,349 --> 01:06:01,599
matthew effect was developed in

2091
01:06:02,383 --> 01:06:02,633
the60s and it is based on the

2092
01:06:04,166 --> 01:06:04,416
new Testament book Matthew and

2093
01:06:06,166 --> 01:06:06,416
the concept is simple those who

2094
01:06:08,049 --> 01:06:08,299
have tend to get more of the

2095
01:06:08,616 --> 01:06:08,866
thing in other

2096
01:06:11,883 --> 01:06:12,133
words those students early who

2097
01:06:13,883 --> 01:06:14,133
have networked opportunities,

2098
01:06:16,016 --> 01:06:16,266
resource they see the thing that

2099
01:06:16,699 --> 01:06:16,949
they want to become

2100
01:06:20,099 --> 01:06:20,349
they more likely can become the

2101
01:06:22,066 --> 01:06:22,316
thing and so what I want you to

2102
01:06:23,366 --> 01:06:23,616
see in our development of our

2103
01:06:25,649 --> 01:06:25,899
program is a and an opportunity

2104
01:06:28,116 --> 01:06:28,366
to reduce those barriers to

2105
01:06:30,116 --> 01:06:30,366
reduce those inequitable access

2106
01:06:33,333 --> 01:06:33,583
of things that we see for our

2107
01:06:33,949 --> 01:06:34,199
young students and we're going

2108
01:06:35,599 --> 01:06:35,849
to start early as a middle

2109
01:06:37,599 --> 01:06:37,849
school.ack in2022 Consert

2110
01:06:41,349 --> 01:06:41,599
myuture designed a summer middle

2111
01:06:43,349 --> 01:06:43,599
school construction camp. It is

2112
01:06:45,616 --> 01:06:45,866
an unbelievable success. I'll

2113
01:06:46,333 --> 01:06:46,583
tell you who loves it the most

2114
01:06:46,999 --> 01:06:47,249
not just the kids

2115
01:06:49,866 --> 01:06:50,116
the industry partners that we

2116
01:06:52,066 --> 01:06:52,316
bring in they do everything

2117
01:06:53,899 --> 01:06:54,149
across all industry sectors and

2118
01:06:55,633 --> 01:06:55,883
you see that young girl right

2119
01:06:57,883 --> 01:06:58,133
there who knows she may be

2120
01:06:59,899 --> 01:07:00,149
having that dream right now that

2121
01:07:01,349 --> 01:07:01,599
this is my thing. We've

2122
01:07:03,349 --> 01:07:03,599
interfaced with young women and

2123
01:07:04,349 --> 01:07:04,599
young men who they got the

2124
01:07:05,599 --> 01:07:05,849
opportunity to participate in

2125
01:07:07,616 --> 01:07:07,866
one of our programs the light

2126
01:07:09,383 --> 01:07:09,633
bulb clicked in and then two or

2127
01:07:11,366 --> 01:07:11,616
three years later Whitney's

2128
01:07:12,149 --> 01:07:12,399
connecting him with one of our

2129
01:07:13,799 --> 01:07:14,049
major companies and they are

2130
01:07:14,466 --> 01:07:14,716
doing the thing

2131
01:07:16,116 --> 01:07:16,366
that's what I love about that.

2132
01:07:19,333 --> 01:07:19,583
We also engage in any number of

2133
01:07:21,349 --> 01:07:21,599
a broad range of things in our

2134
01:07:22,333 --> 01:07:22,583
ecosystem this is construction

2135
01:07:25,616 --> 01:07:25,866
rodeo unique concept. it puts

2136
01:07:27,349 --> 01:07:27,599
the students in hands-on

2137
01:07:29,616 --> 01:07:29,866
opportunities whether it's

2138
01:07:31,599 --> 01:07:31,849
whether it's like you see here

2139
01:07:32,216 --> 01:07:32,466
they're doing a little bit of

2140
01:07:34,166 --> 01:07:34,416
concrete work, heavy equipment

2141
01:07:35,616 --> 01:07:35,866
operation they get the

2142
01:07:36,116 --> 01:07:36,366
opportunity to work directly

2143
01:07:39,399 --> 01:07:39,649
with industry partners see the

2144
01:07:41,349 --> 01:07:41,599
key is I love that the things

2145
01:07:42,116 --> 01:07:42,366
that everybody has said today,

2146
01:07:43,633 --> 01:07:43,883
Tonyja's going to talk about it

2147
01:07:44,266 --> 01:07:44,516
here in just a minute and the

2148
01:07:44,933 --> 01:07:45,183
amazing care

2149
01:07:46,099 --> 01:07:46,349
er tech things that they do.

2150
01:07:47,849 --> 01:07:48,099
you mentioned the same thing

2151
01:07:49,583 --> 01:07:49,833
with your soft skills we'll talk

2152
01:07:51,349 --> 01:07:51,599
just a minute about that

2153
01:07:53,366 --> 01:07:53,616
important thing we cannot forget

2154
01:07:54,116 --> 01:07:54,366
that we can't just create a

2155
01:07:55,899 --> 01:07:56,149
program that lets kids go out to

2156
01:07:57,883 --> 01:07:58,133
a thing and then again agnostic

2157
01:07:59,599 --> 01:07:59,849
from any other considerations of

2158
01:08:01,616 --> 01:08:01,866
development that's what we're we

2159
01:08:03,883 --> 01:08:04,133
look to do. Our career fairs are

2160
01:08:04,533 --> 01:08:04,783
what we call nextgeneration

2161
01:08:06,116 --> 01:08:06,366
career affairs because our goal

2162
01:08:08,133 --> 01:08:08,383
is not just as a former

2163
01:08:09,883 --> 01:08:10,133
principal I'm going to tell you

2164
01:08:11,599 --> 01:08:11,849
how many times I got on the

2165
01:08:13,349 --> 01:08:13,599
intercom and I said all right

2166
01:08:14,016 --> 01:08:14,266
teachers please let your

2167
01:08:14,583 --> 01:08:14,833
students go down to the gym

2168
01:08:16,116 --> 01:08:16,366
real quick. they're going to

2169
01:08:17,866 --> 01:08:18,116
pick up some squishy balls from

2170
01:08:19,866 --> 01:08:20,116
some industry partners maybe a

2171
01:08:22,099 --> 01:08:22,349
fun cool little gift bag maybe a

2172
01:08:23,366 --> 01:08:23,616
water bottle and then get back

2173
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:25,616
to class. That was our career

2174
01:08:27,366 --> 01:08:27,616
fair reality and what we like to

2175
01:08:28,116 --> 01:08:28,366
do is to bring the industry

2176
01:08:29,633 --> 01:08:29,883
partners in with the goal that

2177
01:08:31,349 --> 01:08:31,599
they're going to have one on one

2178
01:08:33,349 --> 01:08:33,599
interviews inside of the space

2179
01:08:34,166 --> 01:08:34,416
of the day where the kids walk

2180
01:08:35,633 --> 01:08:35,883
home get in their car, go home

2181
01:08:37,366 --> 01:08:37,616
and say I have the start to my

2182
01:08:39,649 --> 01:08:39,899
career. I just got an interview

2183
01:08:41,349 --> 01:08:41,599
with Lingo and I'm going to go

2184
01:08:42,149 --> 01:08:42,399
next week and I have the

2185
01:08:43,633 --> 01:08:43,883
opportunity to tour their job

2186
01:08:44,283 --> 01:08:44,533
sites and possibly start working

2187
01:08:46,166 --> 01:08:46,416
for them. see that's a different

2188
01:08:48,116 --> 01:08:48,366
reality. we're now going to

2189
01:08:49,849 --> 01:08:50,099
dive deep into the internship

2190
01:08:51,883 --> 01:08:52,133
program. I talked a little bit

2191
01:08:53,366 --> 01:08:53,616
about what our internship

2192
01:08:55,599 --> 01:08:55,849
program is a lot of times over

2193
01:08:57,366 --> 01:08:57,616
the years in education I'll see

2194
01:08:58,133 --> 01:08:58,383
a scenario where a young lady

2195
01:08:59,433 --> 01:08:59,683
wanted to be a dentist when she

2196
01:09:00,149 --> 01:09:00,399
grew up

2197
01:09:03,599 --> 01:09:03,849
and she knows knows the local

2198
01:09:06,316 --> 01:09:06,566
dentist downtown Weoka and they

2199
01:09:07,633 --> 01:09:07,883
the school set up a scenario

2200
01:09:09,349 --> 01:09:09,599
where the young lady could go

2201
01:09:10,166 --> 01:09:10,416
for a period of time into the

2202
01:09:11,833 --> 01:09:12,083
dentist's office and that's

2203
01:09:15,349 --> 01:09:15,599
amazing. It is a great thing but

2204
01:09:17,616 --> 01:09:17,866
what we know is there's so much

2205
01:09:18,249 --> 01:09:18,499
more development in an

2206
01:09:19,849 --> 01:09:20,099
internship program that plays a

2207
01:09:21,349 --> 01:09:21,599
role in whether or not that

2208
01:09:23,866 --> 01:09:24,116
young lady finishes and develops

2209
01:09:25,616 --> 01:09:25,866
her passion and her skill set

2210
01:09:27,349 --> 01:09:27,599
for being in that career

2211
01:09:29,399 --> 01:09:29,649
specific construction I love to

2212
01:09:30,066 --> 01:09:30,316
see in our picture of a young

2213
01:09:30,733 --> 01:09:30,983
man here. this is Capit

2214
01:09:33,616 --> 01:09:33,866
ol Hill High School. these these

2215
01:09:34,349 --> 01:09:34,599
three guys right here they were

2216
01:09:36,383 --> 01:09:36,633
in our internship program. they

2217
01:09:38,149 --> 01:09:38,399
went to Capitol High School and

2218
01:09:39,633 --> 01:09:39,883
then right behind them they were

2219
01:09:41,349 --> 01:09:41,599
building the new school they're

2220
01:09:42,083 --> 01:09:42,333
just right there some of our

2221
01:09:44,166 --> 01:09:44,416
internships. Take a look at the

2222
01:09:45,616 --> 01:09:45,866
three things that you'll notice

2223
01:09:47,349 --> 01:09:47,599
that we really focus on. We have

2224
01:09:49,366 --> 01:09:49,616
a partnershipdriven focus we

2225
01:09:50,166 --> 01:09:50,416
work with our partners to find

2226
01:09:52,133 --> 01:09:52,383
out what they need. We modify

2227
01:09:53,949 --> 01:09:54,199
our program as such to make sure

2228
01:09:57,349 --> 01:09:57,599
it fits what they need when quad

2229
01:09:59,616 --> 01:09:59,866
construction says we really are

2230
01:10:00,233 --> 01:10:00,483
we got a couple of projects

2231
01:10:00,799 --> 01:10:01,049
and we really need

2232
01:10:03,649 --> 01:10:03,899
to focus in on this particular

2233
01:10:06,116 --> 01:10:06,366
skill set we modify and adjust

2234
01:10:06,733 --> 01:10:06,983
on the fly in that regard.

2235
01:10:08,133 --> 01:10:08,383
Economic mobility you've already

2236
01:10:10,133 --> 01:10:10,383
heard me say one of the things

2237
01:10:11,849 --> 01:10:12,099
in the matthew effect and any

2238
01:10:13,349 --> 01:10:13,599
other things that we all

2239
01:10:15,349 --> 01:10:15,599
understand is when students have

2240
01:10:16,016 --> 01:10:16,266
access to resources

2241
01:10:19,333 --> 01:10:19,583
when they have access to a

2242
01:10:21,333 --> 01:10:21,583
network when they see the thing

2243
01:10:22,316 --> 01:10:22,566
that they want to become whether

2244
01:10:23,849 --> 01:10:24,099
it's that that that that

2245
01:10:26,099 --> 01:10:26,349
construction foreman or it's

2246
01:10:27,866 --> 01:10:28,116
that doctor or that's lawyer or

2247
01:10:29,616 --> 01:10:29,866
it's a representative norwood

2248
01:10:32,083 --> 01:10:32,333
and they see them they say I see

2249
01:10:34,066 --> 01:10:34,316
what that looks like and I can

2250
01:10:35,366 --> 01:10:35,616
achieve that. that's what I mean

2251
01:10:36,083 --> 01:10:36,333
when I talk about mobility and

2252
01:10:38,099 --> 01:10:38,349
economic it's agnostic of where

2253
01:10:41,366 --> 01:10:41,616
you come from and we work hard

2254
01:10:42,083 --> 01:10:42,333
to create those opportunities

2255
01:10:43,849 --> 01:10:44,099
for students and and designing a

2256
01:10:45,799 --> 01:10:46,049
holistic development. I always

2257
01:10:46,466 --> 01:10:46,716
like to show this here

2258
01:10:48,066 --> 01:10:48,316
many of thecTE friends in the

2259
01:10:49,899 --> 01:10:50,149
room probably are familiar with

2260
01:10:51,916 --> 01:10:52,166
this graph it's devi designed by

2261
01:10:53,399 --> 01:10:53,649
the United States Department of

2262
01:10:55,649 --> 01:10:55,899
Education in in concert withcTE

2263
01:10:57,916 --> 01:10:58,166
and business industry and

2264
01:11:01,399 --> 01:11:01,649
members of across all sectors we

2265
01:11:02,266 --> 01:11:02,516
really embed a lot of our focus

2266
01:11:05,383 --> 01:11:05,633
on our measurables on what we do

2267
01:11:07,399 --> 01:11:07,649
for students as it relates to

2268
01:11:09,366 --> 01:11:09,616
this graph. In other words it's

2269
01:11:13,366 --> 01:11:13,616
fun that we put 112 kids in a a

2270
01:11:14,199 --> 01:11:14,449
construction site and they got

2271
01:11:15,833 --> 01:11:16,083
an internship but isn't it more

2272
01:11:16,499 --> 01:11:16,749
fun for us to say that

2273
01:11:19,349 --> 01:11:19,599
we have developed interpersonal

2274
01:11:21,616 --> 01:11:21,866
skill capacity where s where

2275
01:11:22,349 --> 01:11:22,599
students understand I need to

2276
01:11:24,083 --> 01:11:24,333
show up on time and then I need

2277
01:11:25,849 --> 01:11:26,099
to come back day two and when

2278
01:11:27,583 --> 01:11:27,833
Bobby talks about kicking teeth

2279
01:11:29,849 --> 01:11:30,099
in we want to mitigate the shock

2280
01:11:31,899 --> 01:11:32,149
of what that means to students

2281
01:11:33,583 --> 01:11:33,833
we want them to understand fully

2282
01:11:35,649 --> 01:11:35,899
coming in I have the ability to

2283
01:11:37,366 --> 01:11:37,616
reflect on my own growth, what

2284
01:11:38,133 --> 01:11:38,383
my weaknesses are, what my

2285
01:11:39,849 --> 01:11:40,099
strengths are and what this

2286
01:11:41,633 --> 01:11:41,883
particular internship

2287
01:11:42,116 --> 01:11:42,366
opportunity can do for me. see

2288
01:11:43,883 --> 01:11:44,133
there's a complexity in the

2289
01:11:45,899 --> 01:11:46,149
program design that you don't

2290
01:11:46,566 --> 01:11:46,816
normally see an internship

2291
01:11:47,116 --> 01:11:47,366
program

2292
01:11:49,849 --> 01:11:50,099
s that this when we have this

2293
01:11:51,616 --> 01:11:51,866
as our anchor applied knowledge

2294
01:11:53,383 --> 01:11:53,633
effective relationship building

2295
01:11:54,116 --> 01:11:54,366
and workplace skills we create

2296
01:11:55,866 --> 01:11:56,116
what we think is a success

2297
01:11:58,116 --> 01:11:58,366
metric. I like Whitney now to

2298
01:11:59,866 --> 01:12:00,116
really dive in to some of the

2299
01:12:01,933 --> 01:12:02,183
technical aspects of the way our

2300
01:12:02,599 --> 01:12:02,849
internship program works.

2301
01:12:06,183 --> 01:12:06,433
there's should be three

2302
01:12:07,833 --> 01:12:08,083
buttons there OK so in the first

2303
01:12:09,883 --> 01:12:10,133
nine weeks of their junior

2304
01:12:11,633 --> 01:12:11,883
senior year depending on the

2305
01:12:13,366 --> 01:12:13,616
student. so we go in the year

2306
01:12:15,649 --> 01:12:15,899
before and we interview at least

2307
01:12:17,866 --> 01:12:18,116
over 120 students and then we

2308
01:12:19,849 --> 01:12:20,099
pick about70 students to be in

2309
01:12:20,516 --> 01:12:20,766
our program

2310
01:12:23,366 --> 01:12:23,616
and then they'll come back the

2311
01:12:25,366 --> 01:12:25,616
next year and we'll do 9 week

2312
01:12:26,099 --> 01:12:26,349
training course with them. The

2313
01:12:27,833 --> 01:12:28,083
goal is is we'll have it end up

2314
01:12:29,599 --> 01:12:29,849
in the next couple of years

2315
01:12:31,599 --> 01:12:31,849
we'll have programs for four

2316
01:12:32,199 --> 01:12:32,449
years so by the time they're

2317
01:12:33,816 --> 01:12:34,066
senior year they won't have to

2318
01:12:34,433 --> 01:12:34,683
do the nine week because they'll

2319
01:12:35,866 --> 01:12:36,116
have already done it but

2320
01:12:37,633 --> 01:12:37,883
right now our nine week training

2321
01:12:38,349 --> 01:12:38,599
program looks like they get an

2322
01:12:40,099 --> 01:12:40,349
OSA10 training they get a

2323
01:12:42,099 --> 01:12:42,349
flaggger training they get Nccr

2324
01:12:45,349 --> 01:12:45,599
accredited certificate which

2325
01:12:46,416 --> 01:12:46,666
is a national accredited

2326
01:12:46,983 --> 01:12:47,233
program

2327
01:12:50,133 --> 01:12:50,383
and then they get financial

2328
01:12:51,866 --> 01:12:52,116
literacy, they open bank

2329
01:12:53,866 --> 01:12:54,116
accounts we have a company to

2330
01:12:54,483 --> 01:12:54,733
come in and do soft skill

2331
01:12:56,133 --> 01:12:56,383
training with them for two weeks

2332
01:12:58,166 --> 01:12:58,416
and then then we start our

2333
01:13:00,133 --> 01:13:00,383
rotation after fall break. our

2334
01:13:01,633 --> 01:13:01,883
rotations look a little bit

2335
01:13:03,633 --> 01:13:03,883
different most internships we

2336
01:13:04,333 --> 01:13:04,583
do try our hardest to get

2337
01:13:08,116 --> 01:13:08,366
the student with the right

2338
01:13:09,633 --> 01:13:09,883
contractor but sometimes they

2339
01:13:11,349 --> 01:13:11,599
don't know anything like

2340
01:13:12,149 --> 01:13:12,399
sometimes maybe they say they

2341
01:13:13,616 --> 01:13:13,866
want to be an electrician but

2342
01:13:14,216 --> 01:13:14,466
maybe that's all they've heard

2343
01:13:17,633 --> 01:13:17,883
and so every4 to6 weeks

2344
01:13:19,616 --> 01:13:19,866
depending on the contractor they

2345
01:13:21,383 --> 01:13:21,633
rotate couple of reasons why I

2346
01:13:22,149 --> 01:13:22,399
want them to feel uncomfortable

2347
01:13:23,866 --> 01:13:24,116
because students grow when

2348
01:13:25,366 --> 01:13:25,616
they're uncomfortable. They get

2349
01:13:27,349 --> 01:13:27,599
to learn new people they get to

2350
01:13:29,349 --> 01:13:29,599
experience how to network

2351
01:13:31,333 --> 01:13:31,583
they get to experience how to

2352
01:13:32,116 --> 01:13:32,366
sell themselves to this company

2353
01:13:33,916 --> 01:13:34,166
even if they don't like the job

2354
01:13:34,566 --> 01:13:34,816
they're doing our goal at

2355
01:13:35,116 --> 01:13:35,366
structMu

2356
01:13:37,849 --> 01:13:38,099
is they have access to us why

2357
01:13:39,633 --> 01:13:39,883
don't you like your job? what

2358
01:13:41,349 --> 01:13:41,599
happened last night? what's

2359
01:13:41,983 --> 01:13:42,233
going on? what part of it you

2360
01:13:43,849 --> 01:13:44,099
don't like? Well I really just

2361
01:13:45,849 --> 01:13:46,099
want to be an an electrician

2362
01:13:47,833 --> 01:13:48,083
and he's over here working with

2363
01:13:48,466 --> 01:13:48,716
the carpentry guys

2364
01:13:51,599 --> 01:13:51,849
well your skill set whenever you

2365
01:13:53,883 --> 01:13:54,133
graduate and walk across that

2366
01:13:55,866 --> 01:13:56,116
stage you knowing how to do this

2367
01:13:57,349 --> 01:13:57,599
skill set will help you and

2368
01:13:57,933 --> 01:13:58,183
you're going to get the first

2369
01:13:59,883 --> 01:14:00,133
one to be hired and so the

2370
01:14:01,649 --> 01:14:01,899
rotations for me are important

2371
01:14:03,366 --> 01:14:03,616
just because I've had students

2372
01:14:05,366 --> 01:14:05,616
that have been like oh I want to

2373
01:14:07,349 --> 01:14:07,599
be an electrician the whole time

2374
01:14:09,649 --> 01:14:09,899
and they spend their last time

2375
01:14:11,933 --> 01:14:12,183
their last four weeks at a

2376
01:14:14,133 --> 01:14:14,383
heavy heavy highway company and

2377
01:14:15,899 --> 01:14:16,149
now he still works there three

2378
01:14:17,899 --> 01:14:18,149
years later because he fell

2379
01:14:18,516 --> 01:14:18,766
in love with the science

2380
01:14:20,266 --> 01:14:20,516
behind asphalt

2381
01:14:23,566 --> 01:14:23,816
but he was going to be an

2382
01:14:25,616 --> 01:14:25,866
electrician. so we rotate for24

2383
01:14:27,599 --> 01:14:27,849
weeks we rotate every four weeks

2384
01:14:29,349 --> 01:14:29,599
now every now and then since we

2385
01:14:30,333 --> 01:14:30,583
are a very holistic approach

2386
01:14:33,866 --> 01:14:34,116
transportation becomes an issue

2387
01:14:35,616 --> 01:14:35,866
sometimes so sometimes we have

2388
01:14:37,566 --> 01:14:37,816
to keep the kid close to the

2389
01:14:39,583 --> 01:14:39,833
student close to and the school

2390
01:14:41,349 --> 01:14:41,599
and so sometimes they may only

2391
01:14:43,366 --> 01:14:43,616
rotate twice or for example

2392
01:14:45,349 --> 01:14:45,599
if the contractors like I only

2393
01:14:47,616 --> 01:14:47,866
want one kid all year long after

2394
01:14:49,333 --> 01:14:49,583
all of our interviews I'll have

2395
01:14:51,349 --> 01:14:51,599
him come in and interview the

2396
01:14:52,349 --> 01:14:52,599
students and then he'll pick

2397
01:14:52,966 --> 01:14:53,216
his one

2398
01:14:55,616 --> 01:14:55,866
so it is a little bit holistic

2399
01:14:57,866 --> 01:14:58,116
it's not in a box because

2400
01:14:59,333 --> 01:14:59,583
then we probably wouldn't be

2401
01:15:01,349 --> 01:15:01,599
very successful at the end of

2402
01:15:03,583 --> 01:15:03,833
the year our goal is to have

2403
01:15:05,366 --> 01:15:05,616
them placed at a job site

2404
01:15:08,116 --> 01:15:08,366
enrolled into a career tech or

2405
01:15:11,349 --> 01:15:11,599
they're going to college so

2406
01:15:12,366 --> 01:15:12,616
last year we had an 82% success

2407
01:15:14,149 --> 01:15:14,399
rate of them having job

2408
01:15:17,366 --> 01:15:17,616
placement we've had we had

2409
01:15:18,149 --> 01:15:18,399
six of them which is pretty mind

2410
01:15:20,166 --> 01:15:20,416
blowing because most of my

2411
01:15:21,616 --> 01:15:21,866
students are hey let I want to

2412
01:15:22,316 --> 01:15:22,566
go to work right after high

2413
01:15:22,883 --> 01:15:23,133
school

2414
01:15:25,599 --> 01:15:25,849
but just placing them with

2415
01:15:27,333 --> 01:15:27,583
mentors that have invested in

2416
01:15:29,333 --> 01:15:29,583
them we had6 that went to go

2417
01:15:30,299 --> 01:15:30,549
enroll in construction

2418
01:15:31,849 --> 01:15:32,099
management at OSU and OBU

2419
01:15:36,116 --> 01:15:36,366
which is huge because they

2420
01:15:37,599 --> 01:15:37,849
would have never done that

2421
01:15:38,366 --> 01:15:38,616
without the mentorship and so

2422
01:15:40,116 --> 01:15:40,366
the mentorship with the industry

2423
01:15:42,099 --> 01:15:42,349
partner in struct myu in the

2424
01:15:45,883 --> 01:15:46,133
schools has been very important

2425
01:15:47,583 --> 01:15:47,833
because we do get to hold these

2426
01:15:48,316 --> 01:15:48,566
students to a high

2427
01:15:49,566 --> 01:15:49,816
accountability whenever we're

2428
01:15:51,883 --> 01:15:52,133
all talking so like giving them

2429
01:15:53,633 --> 01:15:53,883
the constructive criticism hey

2430
01:15:55,333 --> 01:15:55,583
you're not showing up on time

2431
01:15:57,633 --> 01:15:57,883
why? well if they don't do it

2432
01:15:58,283 --> 01:15:58,533
for three times they get to be

2433
01:15:59,883 --> 01:16:00,133
benched and that because we are

2434
01:16:01,616 --> 01:16:01,866
paid and so they don't get paid

2435
01:16:02,299 --> 01:16:02,549
any longer until they write an

2436
01:16:02,966 --> 01:16:03,216
essay and

2437
01:16:05,616 --> 01:16:05,866
figure out what the why behind

2438
01:16:08,149 --> 01:16:08,399
it is and so working closely

2439
01:16:09,383 --> 01:16:09,633
before they walk across that

2440
01:16:11,366 --> 01:16:11,616
stage with the educators and the

2441
01:16:12,049 --> 01:16:12,299
industry partners and doing it

2442
01:16:13,349 --> 01:16:13,599
together has been pretty

2443
01:16:13,916 --> 01:16:14,166
successful

2444
01:16:18,133 --> 01:16:18,383
right so I'm gonna click the

2445
01:16:19,633 --> 01:16:19,883
button a couple of times so you

2446
01:16:20,333 --> 01:16:20,583
can see all the wonderful things

2447
01:16:20,999 --> 01:16:21,249
that Whitney just said

2448
01:16:21,616 --> 01:16:21,866
I'm sorry

2449
01:16:23,599 --> 01:16:23,849
there you go

2450
01:16:26,183 --> 01:16:26,433
right Whitney covered a lot of

2451
01:16:27,949 --> 01:16:28,199
this but you see that second one

2452
01:16:29,349 --> 01:16:29,599
there the shadow model. we

2453
01:16:30,133 --> 01:16:30,383
really work hard with our

2454
01:16:31,849 --> 01:16:32,099
industry partners to make sure

2455
01:16:34,166 --> 01:16:34,416
that they serve as mentors that

2456
01:16:36,133 --> 01:16:36,383
they understand that the student

2457
01:16:37,916 --> 01:16:38,166
looking at them literally

2458
01:16:39,649 --> 01:16:39,899
potentially knows nothing about

2459
01:16:41,383 --> 01:16:41,633
the construction industry. they

2460
01:16:42,116 --> 01:16:42,366
don't know how to actualize

2461
01:16:43,883 --> 01:16:44,133
their dream. they don't

2462
01:16:45,666 --> 01:16:45,916
understand it but when they see

2463
01:16:47,399 --> 01:16:47,649
that that man who's done the

2464
01:16:48,199 --> 01:16:48,449
thing or that woman who's done

2465
01:16:49,916 --> 01:16:50,166
the thing they get to look at

2466
01:16:51,883 --> 01:16:52,133
them and say you know what, I

2467
01:16:53,599 --> 01:16:53,849
might have a chance at this. I

2468
01:16:54,283 --> 01:16:54,533
might get a chance and I like to

2469
01:16:55,866 --> 01:16:56,116
show you a gentleman right now

2470
01:16:57,649 --> 01:16:57,899
who had a chance and he worked

2471
01:16:59,349 --> 01:16:59,599
with laude struction on the job

2472
01:17:00,166 --> 01:17:00,416
site. we're going to show you a

2473
01:17:02,399 --> 01:17:02,649
promo video of our our friend

2474
01:17:03,899 --> 01:17:04,149
here Renee Renee was from

2475
01:17:05,399 --> 01:17:05,649
Northwestlasson high school.

2476
01:17:07,383 --> 01:17:07,633
He'll talk about how he had a

2477
01:17:08,166 --> 01:17:08,416
couple of rotations at Midwest

2478
01:17:11,649 --> 01:17:11,899
City idwestywall lingo and

2479
01:17:12,183 --> 01:17:12,433
then he ended up what he wanted

2480
01:17:13,899 --> 01:17:14,149
to do which is he wanted to be

2481
01:17:15,416 --> 01:17:15,666
an electrician so I'd like to

2482
01:17:16,083 --> 01:17:16,333
show you this video real quick

2483
01:17:36,083 --> 01:17:36,333
have started an internship

2484
01:17:37,816 --> 01:17:38,066
program when Okhoma City public

2485
01:17:39,833 --> 01:17:40,083
schools and about 1f different

2486
01:17:41,616 --> 01:17:41,866
industry partners commercially

2487
01:17:43,583 --> 01:17:43,833
in Oklahohoma City metro. we

2488
01:17:45,849 --> 01:17:46,099
have taken ir7 students and we

2489
01:17:47,566 --> 01:17:47,816
have trained them in safety,

2490
01:17:48,233 --> 01:17:48,483
financial literacy

2491
01:17:51,366 --> 01:17:51,616
soft skills and then after that

2492
01:17:53,333 --> 01:17:53,583
we put them on job sites they

2493
01:17:54,249 --> 01:17:54,499
spend 3 weeks on Hoxide with

2494
01:17:54,899 --> 01:17:55,149
either

2495
01:17:58,133 --> 01:17:58,383
what a subcontractor or a

2496
01:18:00,066 --> 01:18:00,316
general contractor or civil

2497
01:18:02,333 --> 01:18:02,583
contractorneillo and senior for

2498
01:18:04,066 --> 01:18:04,316
an all go and think this is my

2499
01:18:05,849 --> 01:18:06,099
last year went to be an

2500
01:18:07,783 --> 01:18:08,033
electrician and learn about

2501
01:18:08,333 --> 01:18:08,583
things or how they are

2502
01:18:08,783 --> 01:18:09,033
constructed

2503
01:18:11,816 --> 01:18:12,066
this is a beautiful program they

2504
01:18:13,616 --> 01:18:13,866
learn about the ins and outs of

2505
01:18:15,599 --> 01:18:15,849
how they get the job, how they

2506
01:18:16,233 --> 01:18:16,483
do the job and then they get to

2507
01:18:17,883 --> 01:18:18,133
go work on job sites. I was

2508
01:18:19,583 --> 01:18:19,833
working with the lingo I learn

2509
01:18:21,599 --> 01:18:21,849
about how the they are designed

2510
01:18:23,333 --> 01:18:23,583
for the buildings or how the

2511
01:18:25,349 --> 01:18:25,599
construction working with the

2512
01:18:26,049 --> 01:18:26,299
idwestywa I working with the old

2513
01:18:26,716 --> 01:18:26,966
drywall for this one

2514
01:18:29,966 --> 01:18:30,216
for the three weeks they get to

2515
01:18:30,633 --> 01:18:30,883
rotate the

2516
01:18:33,583 --> 01:18:33,833
flight behind the three weeks

2517
01:18:35,333 --> 01:18:35,583
and not just keeping them at one

2518
01:18:36,083 --> 01:18:36,333
job site so they get more

2519
01:18:36,633 --> 01:18:36,883
exposure to

2520
01:18:39,833 --> 01:18:40,083
commercial construction and that

2521
01:18:42,033 --> 01:18:42,283
they can visit with people at

2522
01:18:43,549 --> 01:18:43,799
the end of the program so kind

2523
01:18:44,199 --> 01:18:44,449
of like

2524
01:18:46,049 --> 01:18:46,299
Renee he wants to be an

2525
01:18:49,333 --> 01:18:49,583
electrician and so we have

2526
01:18:51,533 --> 01:18:51,783
unions we have private

2527
01:18:53,549 --> 01:18:53,799
contractors and then have the

2528
01:18:54,233 --> 01:18:54,483
career types that are coming

2529
01:18:55,583 --> 01:18:55,833
alongside us that they can get

2530
01:18:57,816 --> 01:18:58,066
a pathway so at the end of

2531
01:18:59,833 --> 01:19:00,083
this program people either have

2532
01:19:01,599 --> 01:19:01,849
and be signed up with the union

2533
01:19:03,349 --> 01:19:03,599
or be signed up at a career tech

2534
01:19:04,016 --> 01:19:04,266
to get his license

2535
01:19:11,783 --> 01:19:12,033
like to point this out to watch

2536
01:19:13,366 --> 01:19:13,616
that video 800 times

2537
01:19:16,049 --> 01:19:16,299
Renee in the video said this

2538
01:19:17,799 --> 01:19:18,049
now he said he worked with ingo

2539
01:19:19,816 --> 01:19:20,066
struction did some design work

2540
01:19:21,549 --> 01:19:21,799
on construction sites and then

2541
01:19:23,333 --> 01:19:23,583
he worked with Midwest Drywall

2542
01:19:24,266 --> 01:19:24,516
drywall but then he said he

2543
01:19:26,083 --> 01:19:26,333
worked with the electrician and

2544
01:19:27,616 --> 01:19:27,866
he did you hear what he said? he

2545
01:19:29,599 --> 01:19:29,849
said I'm18. this is my last year

2546
01:19:30,349 --> 01:19:30,599
I'm gonna be an electrician

2547
01:19:32,049 --> 01:19:32,299
OK

2548
01:19:36,033 --> 01:19:36,283
there was no ambiguity and what

2549
01:19:37,833 --> 01:19:38,083
I'd love to say is construct my

2550
01:19:40,066 --> 01:19:40,316
future created in and a

2551
01:19:41,833 --> 01:19:42,083
network for him to see you saw

2552
01:19:43,583 --> 01:19:43,833
the mentor there that's quad

2553
01:19:45,583 --> 01:19:45,833
struction did a great job

2554
01:19:47,333 --> 01:19:47,583
working with him and gave him

2555
01:19:48,066 --> 01:19:48,316
that vision to see what it looks

2556
01:19:49,566 --> 01:19:49,816
like to see what he wants to do

2557
01:19:51,399 --> 01:19:51,649
whether it's to go straight to a

2558
01:19:53,366 --> 01:19:53,616
job site or to a career tech

2559
01:19:55,849 --> 01:19:56,099
program that is one of the true

2560
01:19:57,583 --> 01:19:57,833
success stories I think that

2561
01:19:58,233 --> 01:19:58,483
I point to. Are there any

2562
01:19:58,783 --> 01:19:59,033
questions?

2563
01:20:07,599 --> 01:20:07,849
that always means that we did a

2564
01:20:08,249 --> 01:20:08,499
really good job

2565
01:20:08,583 --> 01:20:08,833
if i

2566
01:20:11,616 --> 01:20:11,866
do I have members with questions

2567
01:20:14,249 --> 01:20:14,499
Representative Norwood I'm turn

2568
01:20:14,916 --> 01:20:15,166
it back to you

2569
01:20:24,183 --> 01:20:24,433
thank you very much to all of

2570
01:20:25,633 --> 01:20:25,883
our presenters who've been here

2571
01:20:27,616 --> 01:20:27,866
today we're gonna move into the

2572
01:20:29,366 --> 01:20:29,616
career tech side of it but I

2573
01:20:30,083 --> 01:20:30,333
wanted to insert this for a

2574
01:20:30,633 --> 01:20:30,883
second

2575
01:20:33,883 --> 01:20:34,133
myself and my wife and our

2576
01:20:35,399 --> 01:20:35,649
family we've we've gone to the

2577
01:20:36,066 --> 01:20:36,316
lake

2578
01:20:39,383 --> 01:20:39,633
for 40 years being married and

2579
01:20:41,366 --> 01:20:41,616
everything but when I was a kid

2580
01:20:43,383 --> 01:20:43,633
growing up I didn't have any

2581
01:20:44,116 --> 01:20:44,366
access to the lake my parents

2582
01:20:45,599 --> 01:20:45,849
didn't go to the lake they

2583
01:20:46,216 --> 01:20:46,466
didn't have a boat didn't have

2584
01:20:48,366 --> 01:20:48,616
anything but I had someone else

2585
01:20:50,166 --> 01:20:50,416
train me and equipped me to do

2586
01:20:51,866 --> 01:20:52,116
that another family kind of

2587
01:20:54,149 --> 01:20:54,399
embraced me to do that who knew

2588
01:20:55,699 --> 01:20:55,949
I could back a trailer for half

2589
01:20:56,366 --> 01:20:56,616
a mile

2590
01:20:59,349 --> 01:20:59,599
and put the boat in the water

2591
01:21:01,583 --> 01:21:01,833
every time and do that as a 16

2592
01:21:03,383 --> 01:21:03,633
year old but someone invested in

2593
01:21:05,916 --> 01:21:06,166
me and out of that investment

2594
01:21:07,633 --> 01:21:07,883
it's been an enjoyable thing for

2595
01:21:09,399 --> 01:21:09,649
my family so I'm always looking

2596
01:21:10,049 --> 01:21:10,299
for this outlier moment

2597
01:21:13,349 --> 01:21:13,599
and then I think back to this

2598
01:21:14,399 --> 01:21:14,649
maybe you do you can relate to

2599
01:21:16,166 --> 01:21:16,416
this maybe you can't at 12 years

2600
01:21:17,599 --> 01:21:17,849
old I was given an opportunity

2601
01:21:18,266 --> 01:21:18,516
to have a job

2602
01:21:20,216 --> 01:21:20,466
I don't know how that works in

2603
01:21:21,633 --> 01:21:21,883
the state of Oklahoma at this

2604
01:21:23,383 --> 01:21:23,633
moment but that was a long time

2605
01:21:25,866 --> 01:21:26,116
ago some Wyoming but at 1w2 I

2606
01:21:28,383 --> 01:21:28,633
became a janitor and on the

2607
01:21:29,899 --> 01:21:30,149
weekend we would clean a Ford

2608
01:21:31,899 --> 01:21:32,149
dealership and what we do is we

2609
01:21:33,883 --> 01:21:34,133
would polish the floor we would

2610
01:21:36,166 --> 01:21:36,416
wax it strip it wax it and

2611
01:21:37,883 --> 01:21:38,133
make sure that that next Monday

2612
01:21:39,916 --> 01:21:40,166
it was absolutely perfect. I

2613
01:21:41,383 --> 01:21:41,633
learned so many things because I

2614
01:21:43,416 --> 01:21:43,666
had someone there that was the

2615
01:21:45,949 --> 01:21:46,199
equipping training hands on show

2616
01:21:47,599 --> 01:21:47,849
me how to do this and and you

2617
01:21:48,249 --> 01:21:48,499
know what that 12 year old

2618
01:21:50,149 --> 01:21:50,399
it's impacted all the things

2619
01:21:51,899 --> 01:21:52,149
I've done in training students

2620
01:21:53,366 --> 01:21:53,616
for all the time that I've done

2621
01:21:54,083 --> 01:21:54,333
youth ministry and all the time

2622
01:21:55,616 --> 01:21:55,866
I've invested in other people.

2623
01:21:57,366 --> 01:21:57,616
So I appreciate everyone here

2624
01:22:00,116 --> 01:22:00,366
that's investing in students

2625
01:22:03,833 --> 01:22:04,083
but today at the end career tech

2626
01:22:07,599 --> 01:22:07,849
is here to help with that and my

2627
01:22:09,583 --> 01:22:09,833
my father worked for career tech

2628
01:22:11,633 --> 01:22:11,883
for for metrotech here for

2629
01:22:13,866 --> 01:22:14,116
about25 years and he was

2630
01:22:15,683 --> 01:22:15,933
invested in investing in other

2631
01:22:17,566 --> 01:22:17,816
people into their careers how to

2632
01:22:18,233 --> 01:22:18,483
develop and become

2633
01:22:21,899 --> 01:22:22,149
better so I know the pathway of

2634
01:22:23,649 --> 01:22:23,899
career tech so I'm very very

2635
01:22:25,383 --> 01:22:25,633
thrilled to end our study

2636
01:22:28,133 --> 01:22:28,383
todayannya and both of you to

2637
01:22:29,866 --> 01:22:30,116
come in and to give us some of

2638
01:22:32,166 --> 01:22:32,416
the connectors of what we're

2639
01:22:33,833 --> 01:22:34,083
already doing so would you

2640
01:22:34,383 --> 01:22:34,633
welcome them today

2641
01:22:47,866 --> 01:22:48,116
Good morning everyone. thank you

2642
01:22:49,866 --> 01:22:50,116
for this opportunity. I really

2643
01:22:51,899 --> 01:22:52,149
appreciate the opportunity to

2644
01:22:53,616 --> 01:22:53,866
talk about my passion right now

2645
01:22:55,399 --> 01:22:55,649
and and it's workforce

2646
01:22:55,833 --> 01:22:56,083
development

2647
01:22:59,366 --> 01:22:59,616
let me quickly our goals

2648
01:23:00,066 --> 01:23:00,316
today I wanted to talk a little

2649
01:23:03,366 --> 01:23:03,616
bit about acTA what acTA is and

2650
01:23:04,133 --> 01:23:04,383
a registered apprenticeship

2651
01:23:06,149 --> 01:23:06,399
program is the other thing is

2652
01:23:07,883 --> 01:23:08,133
there's a lot of misinformation

2653
01:23:09,866 --> 01:23:10,116
out there and I wanted to expose

2654
01:23:11,633 --> 01:23:11,883
you to that the construction

2655
01:23:13,649 --> 01:23:13,899
pathway of course the aerospace

2656
01:23:15,366 --> 01:23:15,616
pathway and some of the barriers

2657
01:23:17,349 --> 01:23:17,599
that we see I've been in this

2658
01:23:19,349 --> 01:23:19,599
role for about a year prior to

2659
01:23:20,333 --> 01:23:20,583
this I was the stem manager so

2660
01:23:21,899 --> 01:23:22,149
all these stem things that

2661
01:23:23,583 --> 01:23:23,833
you've been talking about I can

2662
01:23:24,233 --> 01:23:24,483
very much appreciate

2663
01:23:26,083 --> 01:23:26,333
the first thing about a

2664
01:23:27,833 --> 01:23:28,083
registered apprenticeship

2665
01:23:28,333 --> 01:23:28,583
program. The registered

2666
01:23:29,866 --> 01:23:30,116
apprenticeship programme is a

2667
01:23:31,899 --> 01:23:32,149
minimum of on the job learning

2668
01:23:35,616 --> 01:23:35,866
of2000 hours a minimum of 144 of

2669
01:23:37,616 --> 01:23:37,866
the related instruction and the

2670
01:23:39,616 --> 01:23:39,866
very important piece that every

2671
01:23:40,383 --> 01:23:40,633
everybody has touched on is the

2672
01:23:44,099 --> 01:23:44,349
mentorship piece. it is aw2

2673
01:23:47,366 --> 01:23:47,616
employee it is a long term

2674
01:23:49,366 --> 01:23:49,616
employee. This is important it's

2675
01:23:51,349 --> 01:23:51,599
not just an experience like an

2676
01:23:53,366 --> 01:23:53,616
internship or a job shadowing it

2677
01:23:54,116 --> 01:23:54,366
is a long term employee that you

2678
01:23:57,849 --> 01:23:58,099
as a company are developing

2679
01:24:00,149 --> 01:24:00,399
it it comes with a department of

2680
01:24:03,399 --> 01:24:03,649
laborbor detailed plan that is

2681
01:24:04,066 --> 01:24:04,316
employer led

2682
01:24:07,583 --> 01:24:07,833
the educator doesn't lead it. it

2683
01:24:09,583 --> 01:24:09,833
is employer led and at the end

2684
01:24:11,616 --> 01:24:11,866
of its the apprentice receives a

2685
01:24:13,383 --> 01:24:13,633
nationally recognized

2686
01:24:15,883 --> 01:24:16,133
certificate so this is what I

2687
01:24:17,616 --> 01:24:17,866
compare it to if you look at a

2688
01:24:19,583 --> 01:24:19,833
degree on the right hand side

2689
01:24:21,583 --> 01:24:21,833
the registered apprenticeship

2690
01:24:23,649 --> 01:24:23,899
degree or certificate is on the

2691
01:24:25,649 --> 01:24:25,899
left hand side it shows the

2692
01:24:27,633 --> 01:24:27,883
company that trained them the

2693
01:24:29,383 --> 01:24:29,633
occupation that they were

2694
01:24:29,983 --> 01:24:30,233
trained in and the

2695
01:24:33,383 --> 01:24:33,633
apprenticeship name just like a

2696
01:24:34,116 --> 01:24:34,366
degree it shows the university

2697
01:24:34,783 --> 01:24:35,033
that they went

2698
01:24:37,349 --> 01:24:37,599
to and the degree plan. so this

2699
01:24:38,133 --> 01:24:38,383
is a very important thing that

2700
01:24:40,133 --> 01:24:40,383
is nationally recognized so if

2701
01:24:41,616 --> 01:24:41,866
some of our companies just work

2702
01:24:43,599 --> 01:24:43,849
over the state line they could

2703
01:24:45,883 --> 01:24:46,133
work with industry partners in

2704
01:24:47,866 --> 01:24:48,116
in whatever like a construction

2705
01:24:49,583 --> 01:24:49,833
industry board that we have in

2706
01:24:51,583 --> 01:24:51,833
Oklahoma to be able to work

2707
01:24:52,166 --> 01:24:52,416
across state lines

2708
01:24:55,599 --> 01:24:55,849
the next thing that we have is a

2709
01:24:56,333 --> 01:24:56,583
kir tech apprenticeship program

2710
01:24:59,366 --> 01:24:59,616
it's a more flexible model. it's

2711
01:25:01,849 --> 01:25:02,099
a minimum of510 on the job

2712
01:25:04,066 --> 01:25:04,316
learning hours it's 90 hours of

2713
01:25:06,099 --> 01:25:06,349
related instruction or or

2714
01:25:08,366 --> 01:25:08,616
classroom type instructiongain a

2715
01:25:11,383 --> 01:25:11,633
mentor is assigned to them it's

2716
01:25:13,633 --> 01:25:13,883
a more flexible model but again

2717
01:25:15,616 --> 01:25:15,866
it's aw to employ and it's a

2718
01:25:17,616 --> 01:25:17,866
long term employee so it's not

2719
01:25:20,099 --> 01:25:20,349
an internship a job shadowing it

2720
01:25:21,649 --> 01:25:21,899
is a long term employee it's

2721
01:25:22,316 --> 01:25:22,566
employer led

2722
01:25:24,149 --> 01:25:24,399
and they end up with a state

2723
01:25:26,299 --> 01:25:26,549
recognizecogd certificate and

2724
01:25:29,366 --> 01:25:29,616
the nice thing about acTA is you

2725
01:25:31,616 --> 01:25:31,866
can take the hours in thecTA and

2726
01:25:33,349 --> 01:25:33,599
roll it into the registered

2727
01:25:35,349 --> 01:25:35,599
apprenticeship programme if the

2728
01:25:37,349 --> 01:25:37,599
two align so we've been working

2729
01:25:39,633 --> 01:25:39,883
as a team to align the thecTAs

2730
01:25:41,383 --> 01:25:41,633
or the ir tech apprenticeship

2731
01:25:41,983 --> 01:25:42,233
program with the registered

2732
01:25:43,633 --> 01:25:43,883
apprenticeship programme. so if

2733
01:25:47,366 --> 01:25:47,616
a company invests in a an

2734
01:25:48,133 --> 01:25:48,383
employee and they want to go to

2735
01:25:50,133 --> 01:25:50,383
the DOl model they can roll

2736
01:25:51,416 --> 01:25:51,666
those hours and relate

2737
01:25:51,899 --> 01:25:52,149
instruction into the registered

2738
01:25:52,566 --> 01:25:52,816
app

2739
01:25:55,599 --> 01:25:55,849
r ent ice ship program so that

2740
01:25:56,299 --> 01:25:56,549
is an advantage to the company

2741
01:25:57,566 --> 01:25:57,816
it's an advantage to the

2742
01:25:58,116 --> 01:25:58,366
apprentice.

2743
01:26:03,383 --> 01:26:03,633
We then as a state or as a

2744
01:26:05,599 --> 01:26:05,849
state agency we issue a

2745
01:26:07,616 --> 01:26:07,866
certificate for aer tech

2746
01:26:09,566 --> 01:26:09,816
apprenticeship. it has a student

2747
01:26:11,616 --> 01:26:11,866
name the occupation it talks

2748
01:26:12,349 --> 01:26:12,599
about how many hours of related

2749
01:26:15,683 --> 01:26:15,933
instruction and on the job

2750
01:26:17,366 --> 01:26:17,616
learning and it's signed by

2751
01:26:17,916 --> 01:26:18,166
Brient.

2752
01:26:21,633 --> 01:26:21,883
the the strategy that we've

2753
01:26:23,616 --> 01:26:23,866
used we've been changing but

2754
01:26:25,616 --> 01:26:25,866
recently all of our tech centers

2755
01:26:26,316 --> 01:26:26,566
and you can see they're all over

2756
01:26:27,816 --> 01:26:28,066
the state have a customized

2757
01:26:28,383 --> 01:26:28,633
training

2758
01:26:33,449 --> 01:26:33,699
piece at the uhurex and it's

2759
01:26:34,133 --> 01:26:34,383
workforce and economic

2760
01:26:35,866 --> 01:26:36,116
development side we've been

2761
01:26:37,616 --> 01:26:37,866
focusing on what they're

2762
01:26:38,133 --> 01:26:38,383
currently doing because they're

2763
01:26:41,583 --> 01:26:41,833
stretched so thin that we knew

2764
01:26:42,216 --> 01:26:42,466
that we couldn't add another

2765
01:26:43,649 --> 01:26:43,899
thing to their plates so we're

2766
01:26:45,349 --> 01:26:45,599
looking at the customized

2767
01:26:45,966 --> 01:26:46,216
training that they currently

2768
01:26:48,183 --> 01:26:48,433
provide and rolling those into a

2769
01:26:50,016 --> 01:26:50,266
registered apprenticeship

2770
01:26:52,166 --> 01:26:52,416
program and the unique thing

2771
01:26:53,933 --> 01:26:54,183
about Oklahoma and our

2772
01:26:55,699 --> 01:26:55,949
technology centers is that they

2773
01:26:57,833 --> 01:26:58,083
all work together there isn't a

2774
01:26:58,499 --> 01:26:58,749
day that goes by I don't get an

2775
01:27:01,799 --> 01:27:02,049
email saying hey is anybody

2776
01:27:03,633 --> 01:27:03,883
doing this training? iss anybody

2777
01:27:05,649 --> 01:27:05,899
doing that training so that the

2778
01:27:07,733 --> 01:27:07,983
tech centers can share that that

2779
01:27:09,366 --> 01:27:09,616
training information, those

2780
01:27:11,433 --> 01:27:11,683
courses the instructors with

2781
01:27:12,149 --> 01:27:12,399
each other so that they make

2782
01:27:14,199 --> 01:27:14,449
sure that they they can turn a

2783
01:27:15,916 --> 01:27:16,166
customized training around for

2784
01:27:16,583 --> 01:27:16,833
any company in the state

2785
01:27:21,433 --> 01:27:21,683
in other states they're called

2786
01:27:22,199 --> 01:27:22,449
technical colleges and they

2787
01:27:23,916 --> 01:27:24,166
don't necessarily work together.

2788
01:27:25,599 --> 01:27:25,849
The other thing that we've done

2789
01:27:27,399 --> 01:27:27,649
is we've pulled partners

2790
01:27:28,116 --> 01:27:28,366
together for funding

2791
01:27:31,416 --> 01:27:31,666
opportunities so there's several

2792
01:27:33,816 --> 01:27:34,066
different funding sources for

2793
01:27:35,716 --> 01:27:35,966
apprenticeship programs and so

2794
01:27:37,383 --> 01:27:37,633
we have developed a flyer to

2795
01:27:39,399 --> 01:27:39,649
help companies navigate some of

2796
01:27:40,033 --> 01:27:40,283
the funding streams that they

2797
01:27:43,633 --> 01:27:43,883
have to help them understand

2798
01:27:45,433 --> 01:27:45,683
because when you go in and you

2799
01:27:46,183 --> 01:27:46,433
start talking it's overwhelming

2800
01:27:47,533 --> 01:27:47,783
to people and so that's

2801
01:27:48,083 --> 01:27:48,333
something that we

2802
01:27:51,349 --> 01:27:51,599
saw as a need. The other

2803
01:27:52,333 --> 01:27:52,583
thing that I wanted to

2804
01:27:53,883 --> 01:27:54,133
specifically talk about is some

2805
01:27:57,416 --> 01:27:57,666
of the challenges so number one

2806
01:27:59,366 --> 01:27:59,616
we hear all the time oh it's

2807
01:28:00,099 --> 01:28:00,349
there's way too much paperwork

2808
01:28:02,083 --> 01:28:02,333
and it takes my staff too much

2809
01:28:04,349 --> 01:28:04,599
time to get an apprenticeship

2810
01:28:06,149 --> 01:28:06,399
program up and running. Well we

2811
01:28:09,649 --> 01:28:09,899
do the paperwork, OK so our team

2812
01:28:10,366 --> 01:28:10,616
does the paperwork for the

2813
01:28:13,616 --> 01:28:13,866
businesses and as far as the

2814
01:28:15,883 --> 01:28:16,133
time on the business they have

2815
01:28:16,499 --> 01:28:16,749
to go through and tell us what

2816
01:28:17,566 --> 01:28:17,816
they're going to teach him on

2817
01:28:18,233 --> 01:28:18,483
the job

2818
01:28:21,349 --> 01:28:21,599
what kind of related

2819
01:28:22,333 --> 01:28:22,583
instruction they need they have

2820
01:28:25,383 --> 01:28:25,633
to work with DL to set up their

2821
01:28:27,649 --> 01:28:27,899
database login to the database

2822
01:28:29,916 --> 01:28:30,166
system basically a company is

2823
01:28:32,133 --> 01:28:32,383
looking at max two hours of time

2824
01:28:33,616 --> 01:28:33,866
to get a registered

2825
01:28:34,383 --> 01:28:34,633
apprenticeship program up. The

2826
01:28:36,133 --> 01:28:36,383
next thing it says is it takes

2827
01:28:38,199 --> 01:28:38,449
too much time to establish an

2828
01:28:39,949 --> 01:28:40,199
apprenticeship program

2829
01:28:42,166 --> 01:28:42,416
recentlycently we turned a

2830
01:28:45,366 --> 01:28:45,616
program from a request to

2831
01:28:47,449 --> 01:28:47,699
actually being an inception in72

2832
01:28:48,099 --> 01:28:48,349
hours. I don't think that's

2833
01:28:51,399 --> 01:28:51,649
too much time but you hear this

2834
01:28:52,149 --> 01:28:52,399
all the time so we're trying to

2835
01:28:53,899 --> 01:28:54,149
get that message out. The other

2836
01:28:55,416 --> 01:28:55,666
thing that we're seeing is

2837
01:28:57,649 --> 01:28:57,899
there's a lot of nonprofits for

2838
01:29:00,183 --> 01:29:00,433
profit companies out there that

2839
01:29:01,866 --> 01:29:02,116
write registered apprenticeship

2840
01:29:03,849 --> 01:29:04,099
programs well guess what we do

2841
01:29:05,683 --> 01:29:05,933
all of that at no cost. OK

2842
01:29:07,666 --> 01:29:07,916
that's what we do in our agency

2843
01:29:09,883 --> 01:29:10,133
so we want the sponsors to be

2844
01:29:11,933 --> 01:29:12,183
the companies because the

2845
01:29:14,149 --> 01:29:14,399
companies are more valuable to

2846
01:29:17,383 --> 01:29:17,633
the apprentice to say boeing

2847
01:29:18,033 --> 01:29:18,283
trained me

2848
01:29:21,866 --> 01:29:22,116
Nordam trained me OK rather than

2849
01:29:24,149 --> 01:29:24,399
some company that is a forprofit

2850
01:29:25,899 --> 01:29:26,149
or a nonprofit that takes a cut

2851
01:29:29,783 --> 01:29:30,033
of any of the the cost or any of

2852
01:29:30,466 --> 01:29:30,716
the

2853
01:29:33,599 --> 01:29:33,849
funding that may come into that

2854
01:29:35,433 --> 01:29:35,683
company it's really important

2855
01:29:37,366 --> 01:29:37,616
that the apprentice gets the the

2856
01:29:39,883 --> 01:29:40,133
recognition and also as a state

2857
01:29:41,883 --> 01:29:42,133
agency we want to grow the

2858
01:29:43,683 --> 01:29:43,933
number of apprentices but we

2859
01:29:45,983 --> 01:29:46,233
also want to grow the number of

2860
01:29:47,466 --> 01:29:47,716
companies that are participating

2861
01:29:48,099 --> 01:29:48,349
in the apprenticeship program

2862
01:29:51,399 --> 01:29:51,649
the other thing that we see a

2863
01:29:52,166 --> 01:29:52,416
lot is apprenticeship programs

2864
01:29:54,149 --> 01:29:54,399
are only for the trades. Well

2865
01:29:55,949 --> 01:29:56,199
there is apprenticeship programs

2866
01:29:58,149 --> 01:29:58,399
available in pretty much any any

2867
01:29:58,799 --> 01:29:59,049
occupation that is out there

2868
01:30:03,416 --> 01:30:03,666
and then the other thing that

2869
01:30:04,149 --> 01:30:04,399
we hear a lot of is an

2870
01:30:06,099 --> 01:30:06,349
apprenticeship and internships

2871
01:30:07,949 --> 01:30:08,199
are used to interchangeably.

2872
01:30:09,399 --> 01:30:09,649
hopefullypefully from the

2873
01:30:11,433 --> 01:30:11,683
definitions I gave you earlier,

2874
01:30:12,099 --> 01:30:12,349
you understand the difference

2875
01:30:13,649 --> 01:30:13,899
between an apprenticeship

2876
01:30:14,233 --> 01:30:14,483
program and an internship

2877
01:30:14,783 --> 01:30:15,033
program.

2878
01:30:18,133 --> 01:30:18,383
so this is our pathway you can

2879
01:30:19,866 --> 01:30:20,116
see we start in middle school

2880
01:30:21,633 --> 01:30:21,883
and go all the way through

2881
01:30:22,366 --> 01:30:22,616
workforce and economic

2882
01:30:25,399 --> 01:30:25,649
development we do have ampP

2883
01:30:27,433 --> 01:30:27,683
schools noted in the top left

2884
01:30:28,149 --> 01:30:28,399
hand corner because that's a big

2885
01:30:31,633 --> 01:30:31,883
need in Oklahoma and we have

2886
01:30:32,216 --> 01:30:32,466
written an apprenticeship

2887
01:30:35,466 --> 01:30:35,716
program for companies here in

2888
01:30:37,633 --> 01:30:37,883
Oklahoma for an A&P so if you're

2889
01:30:38,333 --> 01:30:38,583
interested in that we can help

2890
01:30:38,999 --> 01:30:39,249
you with that

2891
01:30:43,916 --> 01:30:44,166
just some pathways this this

2892
01:30:45,433 --> 01:30:45,683
is a variety of different things

2893
01:30:47,449 --> 01:30:47,699
that we could potentially write

2894
01:30:48,216 --> 01:30:48,466
apprenticeship programs for

2895
01:30:51,349 --> 01:30:51,599
again the AMP is up there

2896
01:30:53,333 --> 01:30:53,583
project managers those are

2897
01:30:54,133 --> 01:30:54,383
things that are within the

2898
01:30:56,099 --> 01:30:56,349
aerospace area that we hear a

2899
01:30:59,366 --> 01:30:59,616
lot the construction we have a

2900
01:31:00,066 --> 01:31:00,316
variety of different

2901
01:31:01,866 --> 01:31:02,116
construction pathways or

2902
01:31:05,349 --> 01:31:05,599
occupations from a craft laborer

2903
01:31:06,149 --> 01:31:06,399
all the way down to a bricklayer

2904
01:31:09,383 --> 01:31:09,633
carpenter etc. We work really

2905
01:31:10,033 --> 01:31:10,283
closely with the

2906
01:31:13,333 --> 01:31:13,583
CB or constructionustry boardard

2907
01:31:17,849 --> 01:31:18,099
one misinformation is because

2908
01:31:19,833 --> 01:31:20,083
they have an apprenticeship card

2909
01:31:22,099 --> 01:31:22,349
through CIB does not mean that

2910
01:31:24,116 --> 01:31:24,366
they are an appr registered

2911
01:31:26,333 --> 01:31:26,583
apprenticeship program or can

2912
01:31:27,616 --> 01:31:27,866
career tech apprenticeship

2913
01:31:29,633 --> 01:31:29,883
programme. The the nice thing

2914
01:31:33,333 --> 01:31:33,583
about CIB is they will give

2915
01:31:35,849 --> 01:31:36,099
students in er tech programs

2916
01:31:38,133 --> 01:31:38,383
hours of experience towards

2917
01:31:39,349 --> 01:31:39,599
their apprenticeship license

2918
01:31:43,333 --> 01:31:43,583
and we have worked with every

2919
01:31:44,149 --> 01:31:44,399
tech center has to go through an

2920
01:31:45,866 --> 01:31:46,116
approval process annually to get

2921
01:31:47,616 --> 01:31:47,866
their programs approved for the

2922
01:31:49,349 --> 01:31:49,599
number of hours the curriculum

2923
01:31:51,366 --> 01:31:51,616
and the teacher. The teacher has

2924
01:31:53,349 --> 01:31:53,599
to be a journeyman licensed

2925
01:31:55,533 --> 01:31:55,783
either plumber HVAC or

2926
01:31:56,083 --> 01:31:56,333
electrical

2927
01:31:59,666 --> 01:31:59,916
some of the barriers so one of

2928
01:32:02,133 --> 01:32:02,383
the biggest barriers is if as

2929
01:32:04,083 --> 01:32:04,333
we're running the apprenticeship

2930
01:32:05,533 --> 01:32:05,783
programs if

2931
01:32:09,349 --> 01:32:09,599
right right now if it's a youth

2932
01:32:10,366 --> 01:32:10,616
they have to have a certified

2933
01:32:11,016 --> 01:32:11,266
teacher attached to it

2934
01:32:16,049 --> 01:32:16,299
we need those codes are 9000lo

2935
01:32:17,616 --> 01:32:17,866
codes which means a program

2936
01:32:19,616 --> 01:32:19,866
level code not have to have a

2937
01:32:21,333 --> 01:32:21,583
certified teacher. it's more

2938
01:32:23,349 --> 01:32:23,599
like a project manager who's

2939
01:32:24,066 --> 01:32:24,316
doing the instruction the

2940
01:32:26,083 --> 01:32:26,333
company or it could be a

2941
01:32:28,066 --> 01:32:28,316
journeyman. Do you think they're

2942
01:32:29,416 --> 01:32:29,666
going to want to go and get

2943
01:32:29,966 --> 01:32:30,216
teacher certified

2944
01:32:33,583 --> 01:32:33,833
mostst likely not. OK so that's

2945
01:32:35,349 --> 01:32:35,599
a big barrier if we want to get

2946
01:32:37,583 --> 01:32:37,833
youth involved at an earlier

2947
01:32:39,349 --> 01:32:39,599
point in apprenticeship program.

2948
01:32:40,149 --> 01:32:40,399
They can do an internship

2949
01:32:41,883 --> 01:32:42,133
program and some teachers

2950
01:32:43,633 --> 01:32:43,883
usually behind that internship

2951
01:32:45,333 --> 01:32:45,583
program but if they're spending

2952
01:32:47,849 --> 01:32:48,099
34,5 hours a day in an

2953
01:32:49,849 --> 01:32:50,099
apprenticeship program that

2954
01:32:51,599 --> 01:32:51,849
teacher certification can should

2955
01:32:53,383 --> 01:32:53,633
not be somebody who has to be a

2956
01:32:54,049 --> 01:32:54,299
certified teacher

2957
01:32:57,799 --> 01:32:58,049
we have a limited bandwidth at

2958
01:32:59,583 --> 01:32:59,833
our tech centers right now

2959
01:33:00,183 --> 01:33:00,433
because they've been working on

2960
01:33:02,099 --> 01:33:02,349
workforce development for years

2961
01:33:04,083 --> 01:33:04,333
they've got their clients and

2962
01:33:05,816 --> 01:33:06,066
etc. so having somebody

2963
01:33:07,583 --> 01:33:07,833
dedicated to apprenticeships

2964
01:33:09,833 --> 01:33:10,083
would very much help our tech

2965
01:33:11,366 --> 01:33:11,616
centers to actually focus on the

2966
01:33:13,599 --> 01:33:13,849
apprenticeship side and we could

2967
01:33:17,349 --> 01:33:17,599
actually take those

2968
01:33:18,099 --> 01:33:18,349
individuals at the tech center

2969
01:33:19,349 --> 01:33:19,599
and put them into an

2970
01:33:21,349 --> 01:33:21,599
apprenticeship program. I

2971
01:33:22,083 --> 01:33:22,333
currently have two on my team

2972
01:33:23,383 --> 01:33:23,633
that are in an apprenticeship

2973
01:33:24,049 --> 01:33:24,299
program called

2974
01:33:25,599 --> 01:33:25,849
apprenticeship

2975
01:33:27,799 --> 01:33:28,049
trainingpresentative. so we're

2976
01:33:29,349 --> 01:33:29,599
putting our our effort where our

2977
01:33:31,349 --> 01:33:31,599
mouth is and actually have

2978
01:33:33,599 --> 01:33:33,849
apprenticeships apprentices at

2979
01:33:35,333 --> 01:33:35,583
the state department ofreer

2980
01:33:37,566 --> 01:33:37,816
Tech. the related instruction

2981
01:33:39,566 --> 01:33:39,816
another thing that we do is we

2982
01:33:41,366 --> 01:33:41,616
juggle our funds to try and get

2983
01:33:42,116 --> 01:33:42,366
enough money to offset the cost

2984
01:33:43,866 --> 01:33:44,116
of the training for the

2985
01:33:45,683 --> 01:33:45,933
companies because we are

2986
01:33:49,566 --> 01:33:49,816
giving the techcent dollars for

2987
01:33:51,349 --> 01:33:51,599
the related instruction trying

2988
01:33:52,083 --> 01:33:52,333
to keep the costs low for the

2989
01:33:53,816 --> 01:33:54,066
companies because it's important

2990
01:33:55,616 --> 01:33:55,866
for us to do workforce

2991
01:33:57,416 --> 01:33:57,666
development and develop that

2992
01:33:58,083 --> 01:33:58,333
training at low cost

2993
01:34:01,849 --> 01:34:02,099
we're also piloting a

2994
01:34:03,583 --> 01:34:03,833
software program for

2995
01:34:05,583 --> 01:34:05,833
apprenticeship management to

2996
01:34:07,349 --> 01:34:07,599
help with the paperwork involved

2997
01:34:09,616 --> 01:34:09,866
as far as with students that are

2998
01:34:10,349 --> 01:34:10,599
high school students and trying

2999
01:34:13,349 --> 01:34:13,599
to track those hours and etc and

3000
01:34:15,616 --> 01:34:15,866
that has gone fairly well and

3001
01:34:17,599 --> 01:34:17,849
then the last thing that's a

3002
01:34:18,383 --> 01:34:18,633
barrier you mentioned choose

3003
01:34:21,349 --> 01:34:21,599
aerospace earlier we're limited

3004
01:34:23,349 --> 01:34:23,599
on the number of licenses that

3005
01:34:25,366 --> 01:34:25,616
we have currently we've already

3006
01:34:27,533 --> 01:34:27,783
ran out and so what we've done

3007
01:34:28,199 --> 01:34:28,449
is to

3008
01:34:29,849 --> 01:34:30,099
try and and for those of you who

3009
01:34:31,616 --> 01:34:31,866
don't know choose aerospace is

3010
01:34:33,583 --> 01:34:33,833
the beginning portion of the AMP

3011
01:34:36,099 --> 01:34:36,349
Huge need in Oklahoma well we've

3012
01:34:37,866 --> 01:34:38,116
invested dollars into it but so

3013
01:34:39,349 --> 01:34:39,599
many schools have picked up the

3014
01:34:41,349 --> 01:34:41,599
choose aerospace program and

3015
01:34:43,349 --> 01:34:43,599
seat licenses that we run out of

3016
01:34:45,399 --> 01:34:45,649
licenses so those are the big

3017
01:34:46,066 --> 01:34:46,316
barriers questions

3018
01:34:49,366 --> 01:34:49,616
To have members with questions

3019
01:34:56,083 --> 01:34:56,333
p re s ent ative Norwood I'll

3020
01:34:56,749 --> 01:34:56,999
turn it back up to you

3021
01:34:59,883 --> 01:35:00,133
tonya thank you very much today

3022
01:35:04,133 --> 01:35:04,383
Brent thank you so much for

3023
01:35:07,333 --> 01:35:07,583
being here with us today and to

3024
01:35:08,116 --> 01:35:08,366
kind of put the answers the

3025
01:35:09,866 --> 01:35:10,116
answers to all of this is right

3026
01:35:10,599 --> 01:35:10,849
is that what you agreed to do

3027
01:35:13,349 --> 01:35:13,599
that we're the cap of all of it

3028
01:35:14,116 --> 01:35:14,366
but I do appreciate what you're

3029
01:35:15,549 --> 01:35:15,799
doing to develop students

3030
01:35:18,333 --> 01:35:18,583
I was able to go to Sandsprings

3031
01:35:19,833 --> 01:35:20,083
withannya and look at your

3032
01:35:21,849 --> 01:35:22,099
construction there and umm

3033
01:35:23,366 --> 01:35:23,616
anytime I'm in that setting

3034
01:35:26,099 --> 01:35:26,349
the teachers are very

3035
01:35:27,599 --> 01:35:27,849
passionate about what they're

3036
01:35:29,349 --> 01:35:29,599
doing your instructor there in

3037
01:35:31,599 --> 01:35:31,849
Sandsprings absolutely consumed

3038
01:35:33,349 --> 01:35:33,599
with what he's doing to teach

3039
01:35:33,949 --> 01:35:34,199
people so thank you for leading

3040
01:35:36,083 --> 01:35:36,333
this and thank you for being

3041
01:35:38,099 --> 01:35:38,349
here today and thank you for the

3042
01:35:40,149 --> 01:35:40,399
invitation thank you all for

3043
01:35:41,849 --> 01:35:42,099
being here today. main thing

3044
01:35:43,366 --> 01:35:43,616
that we need to do is answer

3045
01:35:44,133 --> 01:35:44,383
questions that you may have as

3046
01:35:45,599 --> 01:35:45,849
we've gone through that so I'm

3047
01:35:47,333 --> 01:35:47,583
gonna attempt to answer some

3048
01:35:49,349 --> 01:35:49,599
questions that career tech is

3049
01:35:49,966 --> 01:35:50,216
working on to develop the

3050
01:35:50,466 --> 01:35:50,716
workforce needs and we're

3051
01:35:51,883 --> 01:35:52,133
talking specifically about

3052
01:35:53,399 --> 01:35:53,649
aerospace and construction today

3053
01:35:56,149 --> 01:35:56,399
but there's a wide array of

3054
01:35:57,366 --> 01:35:57,616
things that we're trying to do.

3055
01:35:58,116 --> 01:35:58,366
One thing that I would keep in

3056
01:35:59,616 --> 01:35:59,866
your mind as we go through this

3057
01:36:00,333 --> 01:36:00,583
and you think about all the

3058
01:36:01,683 --> 01:36:01,933
other presenters and what

3059
01:36:02,233 --> 01:36:02,483
they've talked about

3060
01:36:05,566 --> 01:36:05,816
we have every sector of industry

3061
01:36:07,566 --> 01:36:07,816
that is asking for more workers

3062
01:36:08,316 --> 01:36:08,566
and so that's what we're up

3063
01:36:09,866 --> 01:36:10,116
against and we we talk about how

3064
01:36:11,599 --> 01:36:11,849
do we get people in the right

3065
01:36:13,349 --> 01:36:13,599
experiencesorkbased learning

3066
01:36:14,066 --> 01:36:14,316
whether it's apprenticeship or

3067
01:36:15,816 --> 01:36:16,066
internship job shadowing those

3068
01:36:17,599 --> 01:36:17,849
are important to make sure the

3069
01:36:19,583 --> 01:36:19,833
right students are getting the

3070
01:36:20,183 --> 01:36:20,433
right experiences to make sure

3071
01:36:22,083 --> 01:36:22,333
they continue their education

3072
01:36:23,833 --> 01:36:24,083
without wasting time, energy and

3073
01:36:25,366 --> 01:36:25,616
resources and so that's what

3074
01:36:25,983 --> 01:36:26,233
we're doing. We're going to

3075
01:36:27,583 --> 01:36:27,833
cover kind of all of the

3076
01:36:29,366 --> 01:36:29,616
delivery arms but really

3077
01:36:31,349 --> 01:36:31,599
focusing on two key points today

3078
01:36:31,999 --> 01:36:32,249
and that'll be technology

3079
01:36:32,549 --> 01:36:32,799
centers and the

3080
01:36:35,349 --> 01:36:35,599
Kal school districts because yes

3081
01:36:37,333 --> 01:36:37,583
we talked about reentry we train

3082
01:36:38,299 --> 01:36:38,549
in prisons we have 17 different

3083
01:36:39,616 --> 01:36:39,866
locations right now that are

3084
01:36:41,616 --> 01:36:41,866
training to release inmates into

3085
01:36:43,599 --> 01:36:43,849
great jobs not to release them

3086
01:36:45,599 --> 01:36:45,849
back into the environments that

3087
01:36:47,349 --> 01:36:47,599
they came from tonya mentioned

3088
01:36:48,116 --> 01:36:48,366
the business and industry side

3089
01:36:49,599 --> 01:36:49,849
that we're working within at our

3090
01:36:50,316 --> 01:36:50,566
tech centers to make sure that

3091
01:36:52,099 --> 01:36:52,349
people get the training that is

3092
01:36:54,099 --> 01:36:54,349
relevant and quick to go right

3093
01:36:55,866 --> 01:36:56,116
back into work and then we have

3094
01:36:57,566 --> 01:36:57,816
adult education, family literacy

3095
01:36:59,349 --> 01:36:59,599
as well to make sure that

3096
01:37:00,066 --> 01:37:00,316
individuals that are adults

3097
01:37:01,799 --> 01:37:02,049
don't have barriers to

3098
01:37:02,333 --> 01:37:02,583
increasing their

3099
01:37:05,333 --> 01:37:05,583
their educational aptitude. but

3100
01:37:06,033 --> 01:37:06,283
let's focus in on a couple of

3101
01:37:07,566 --> 01:37:07,816
things cause I know we want to

3102
01:37:08,266 --> 01:37:08,516
get into and you guys better ask

3103
01:37:09,616 --> 01:37:09,866
some more questions than you've

3104
01:37:11,349 --> 01:37:11,599
been asking soammmy I see you

3105
01:37:11,949 --> 01:37:12,199
over there you better be asking

3106
01:37:14,116 --> 01:37:14,366
me some questions. So K-1w2

3107
01:37:15,833 --> 01:37:16,083
school districts that's where

3108
01:37:17,599 --> 01:37:17,849
career tech started and we do a

3109
01:37:19,616 --> 01:37:19,866
ton of work in Kelw2 school

3110
01:37:20,349 --> 01:37:20,599
districts 151,0an0 students that

3111
01:37:23,366 --> 01:37:23,616
are inexperis that are bringing

3112
01:37:25,349 --> 01:37:25,599
careers to life for them. OK?

3113
01:37:26,083 --> 01:37:26,333
The problem is tonya mentioned

3114
01:37:28,549 --> 01:37:28,799
what can we do different

3115
01:37:31,866 --> 01:37:32,116
How do we fix this because we do

3116
01:37:33,349 --> 01:37:33,599
have a problem so one of the

3117
01:37:33,949 --> 01:37:34,199
things that I probably don't

3118
01:37:35,599 --> 01:37:35,849
have on there that I I should

3119
01:37:37,599 --> 01:37:37,849
have is that we have to make

3120
01:37:38,199 --> 01:37:38,449
sure that we maintain the

3121
01:37:39,866 --> 01:37:40,116
changes we've made in high

3122
01:37:41,849 --> 01:37:42,099
school graduation requirements

3123
01:37:43,616 --> 01:37:43,866
we have to make sure we do that

3124
01:37:44,249 --> 01:37:44,499
if you don't you just shot

3125
01:37:45,633 --> 01:37:45,883
yourself in the foot and you

3126
01:37:46,266 --> 01:37:46,516
might as well start over. I'll

3127
01:37:47,899 --> 01:37:48,149
be real blunt about that.

3128
01:37:50,116 --> 01:37:50,366
Funding curriculum currently

3129
01:37:51,883 --> 01:37:52,133
Oklahoma does not fund any

3130
01:37:54,383 --> 01:37:54,633
career curriculum. We used to at

3131
01:37:56,166 --> 01:37:56,416
the agency build curriculum and

3132
01:37:57,899 --> 01:37:58,149
sell it to the whole world

3133
01:37:58,516 --> 01:37:58,766
around all trades

3134
01:38:01,849 --> 01:38:02,099
well over time as curriculum

3135
01:38:03,883 --> 01:38:04,133
changed and adapted the

3136
01:38:06,083 --> 01:38:06,333
agency did not and then about 12

3137
01:38:07,883 --> 01:38:08,133
years ago they discontinued what

3138
01:38:09,349 --> 01:38:09,599
we do from a curriculum

3139
01:38:10,083 --> 01:38:10,333
standpoint because it was all in

3140
01:38:12,099 --> 01:38:12,349
print and so there are vendors

3141
01:38:13,599 --> 01:38:13,849
that provide curriculum that is

3142
01:38:15,616 --> 01:38:15,866
up to date relevant and enable

3143
01:38:17,883 --> 01:38:18,133
to use but we as a state do not

3144
01:38:19,349 --> 01:38:19,599
provide access to that

3145
01:38:21,349 --> 01:38:21,599
curriculum unless our schools do

3146
01:38:23,349 --> 01:38:23,599
that on their own. We do for

3147
01:38:24,366 --> 01:38:24,616
English, cience, mathematics

3148
01:38:25,616 --> 01:38:25,866
history we have textbook

3149
01:38:27,383 --> 01:38:27,633
adoption dollars. we don't do

3150
01:38:28,099 --> 01:38:28,349
that for career and industry

3151
01:38:28,766 --> 01:38:29,016
training so that's something

3152
01:38:29,433 --> 01:38:29,683
that we might ought to look

3153
01:38:31,583 --> 01:38:31,833
at hopefully you're taking

3154
01:38:33,583 --> 01:38:33,833
notes around that expanding

3155
01:38:37,349 --> 01:38:37,599
programs we added $3 million

3156
01:38:38,083 --> 01:38:38,333
my first year as director three

3157
01:38:41,333 --> 01:38:41,583
years ago and we added280

3158
01:38:42,099 --> 01:38:42,349
programs the largest bulk of

3159
01:38:43,866 --> 01:38:44,116
which were in stem. Those dip

3160
01:38:45,616 --> 01:38:45,866
all the way down to fifth grade.

3161
01:38:47,666 --> 01:38:47,916
We currently have about50

3162
01:38:49,333 --> 01:38:49,583
waiting again to be funded so

3163
01:38:50,049 --> 01:38:50,299
that more schools can add

3164
01:38:50,616 --> 01:38:50,866
programs that introduce

3165
01:38:54,266 --> 01:38:54,516
all ages of students5th through

3166
01:38:57,366 --> 01:38:57,616
12 into what these careers look

3167
01:38:59,416 --> 01:38:59,666
like and start to give them

3168
01:38:59,966 --> 01:39:00,216
experiences that are relevant

3169
01:39:02,066 --> 01:39:02,316
we're gonna need to expand

3170
01:39:04,066 --> 01:39:04,316
programs again and then as tonya

3171
01:39:05,383 --> 01:39:05,633
mentioned the apprenticeship

3172
01:39:06,049 --> 01:39:06,299
policy

3173
01:39:09,349 --> 01:39:09,599
what she's talking about we had

3174
01:39:11,333 --> 01:39:11,583
two measures last year to try

3175
01:39:12,366 --> 01:39:12,616
to get this done neither made it

3176
01:39:13,849 --> 01:39:14,099
through but we have got to get

3177
01:39:17,333 --> 01:39:17,583
something that allows by law

3178
01:39:18,083 --> 01:39:18,333
a school to release the student

3179
01:39:20,116 --> 01:39:20,366
into good workbased learning

3180
01:39:21,849 --> 01:39:22,099
experiences because it doesn't

3181
01:39:23,866 --> 01:39:24,116
currently exist and so we have

3182
01:39:25,366 --> 01:39:25,616
to provide that if we want to

3183
01:39:25,983 --> 01:39:26,233
make sure that there is a

3184
01:39:27,616 --> 01:39:27,866
difference where the student

3185
01:39:29,883 --> 01:39:30,133
comes out of high school and

3186
01:39:31,633 --> 01:39:31,883
knows what the options are for

3187
01:39:33,883 --> 01:39:34,133
careers and doesn't waste the

3188
01:39:35,349 --> 01:39:35,599
next 10 years of their life

3189
01:39:35,983 --> 01:39:36,233
figuring that out. It's our job

3190
01:39:38,149 --> 01:39:38,399
as educators to make sure that

3191
01:39:39,866 --> 01:39:40,116
we provide those experiences and

3192
01:39:41,583 --> 01:39:41,833
we currently cannot because of

3193
01:39:43,366 --> 01:39:43,616
the barriers that we have in

3194
01:39:43,999 --> 01:39:44,249
policy so we want to make sure

3195
01:39:45,599 --> 01:39:45,849
that that's not there that every

3196
01:39:47,349 --> 01:39:47,599
student gets an opportunity to

3197
01:39:47,999 --> 01:39:48,249
explore. I was mentioned earlier

3198
01:39:48,649 --> 01:39:48,899
that

3199
01:39:51,849 --> 01:39:52,099
students under the age of 18

3200
01:39:53,366 --> 01:39:53,616
sometimes can't get to a job

3201
01:39:54,149 --> 01:39:54,399
site sometimes that is the case

3202
01:39:55,899 --> 01:39:56,149
but that's company policy that's

3203
01:39:57,833 --> 01:39:58,083
not law. so the law currently

3204
01:39:59,583 --> 01:39:59,833
states that anyone that falls

3205
01:40:01,583 --> 01:40:01,833
department of laborbor 16 and

3206
01:40:03,366 --> 01:40:03,616
over can be on job sites it's up

3207
01:40:05,599 --> 01:40:05,849
to their company policy and it's

3208
01:40:07,366 --> 01:40:07,616
up to insurance many times but

3209
01:40:08,166 --> 01:40:08,416
there is an opportunity for

3210
01:40:09,599 --> 01:40:09,849
these students to be on job

3211
01:40:12,133 --> 01:40:12,383
sites if that company allows it

3212
01:40:13,866 --> 01:40:14,116
all the way down to 14 in some

3213
01:40:14,483 --> 01:40:14,733
cases because you can get a

3214
01:40:16,166 --> 01:40:16,416
form600 in the form601 we used

3215
01:40:17,616 --> 01:40:17,866
to do that all the time for the

3216
01:40:18,249 --> 01:40:18,499
hospitality industry so

3217
01:40:21,266 --> 01:40:21,516
people can be an apprenticeship

3218
01:40:22,033 --> 01:40:22,283
opportunities they can be an

3219
01:40:23,866 --> 01:40:24,116
internship opportunities in live

3220
01:40:25,349 --> 01:40:25,599
work and so as mentioned earlier

3221
01:40:28,299 --> 01:40:28,549
that we have barriers we do

3222
01:40:31,349 --> 01:40:31,599
but we can also work with the

3223
01:40:32,049 --> 01:40:32,299
tools that are already there. So

3224
01:40:33,833 --> 01:40:34,083
I think if we have a better

3225
01:40:35,349 --> 01:40:35,599
education and understanding of

3226
01:40:36,049 --> 01:40:36,299
what's available we can provide

3227
01:40:37,833 --> 01:40:38,083
more opportunities to students

3228
01:40:40,049 --> 01:40:40,299
so just remember this when you

3229
01:40:41,616 --> 01:40:41,866
get into session this year we

3230
01:40:42,299 --> 01:40:42,549
need an apprenticeship bill for

3231
01:40:42,966 --> 01:40:43,216
high school students

3232
01:40:43,983 --> 01:40:44,233
don't forget that

3233
01:40:49,333 --> 01:40:49,583
Technology centers so technology

3234
01:40:50,083 --> 01:40:50,333
centers everybody knows what a

3235
01:40:51,383 --> 01:40:51,633
technology center is and we've

3236
01:40:52,033 --> 01:40:52,283
heard a lot about what they do

3237
01:40:53,349 --> 01:40:53,599
and how they partner with

3238
01:40:53,849 --> 01:40:54,099
business and industry and we

3239
01:40:55,849 --> 01:40:56,099
move forward at the agency we

3240
01:40:57,349 --> 01:40:57,599
provide a little bit of the

3241
01:40:59,333 --> 01:40:59,583
funding from the state that

3242
01:40:59,983 --> 01:41:00,233
makes sure that these programs

3243
01:41:01,849 --> 01:41:02,099
happen as you know we've

3244
01:41:02,366 --> 01:41:02,616
talked about for several years

3245
01:41:03,866 --> 01:41:04,116
now we have a waitlist we have a

3246
01:41:06,133 --> 01:41:06,383
ton of students that are not

3247
01:41:07,866 --> 01:41:08,116
able to get into programs

3248
01:41:09,349 --> 01:41:09,599
because we can't grow fast

3249
01:41:10,133 --> 01:41:10,383
enough. I would reiterate to

3250
01:41:13,333 --> 01:41:13,583
this group we had a40% demand

3251
01:41:14,299 --> 01:41:14,549
increase since COID. Students to

3252
01:41:14,966 --> 01:41:15,216
get into technology center

3253
01:41:17,566 --> 01:41:17,816
doors so how how do we make a

3254
01:41:18,233 --> 01:41:18,483
difference

3255
01:41:19,866 --> 01:41:20,116
well one of the things that I

3256
01:41:21,349 --> 01:41:21,599
think we need to do is we need

3257
01:41:22,066 --> 01:41:22,316
to adjust the school day that

3258
01:41:23,599 --> 01:41:23,849
was mentioned earlier for other

3259
01:41:25,566 --> 01:41:25,816
programs nordam has programs

3260
01:41:26,166 --> 01:41:26,416
where they have adjusted their

3261
01:41:27,366 --> 01:41:27,616
day so they can get students in

3262
01:41:29,366 --> 01:41:29,616
the doors well we need to adjust

3263
01:41:30,133 --> 01:41:30,383
our day of what school looks

3264
01:41:31,866 --> 01:41:32,116
like in many states you don't

3265
01:41:33,399 --> 01:41:33,649
have to go to school between7

3266
01:41:34,083 --> 01:41:34,333
and4.

3267
01:41:36,099 --> 01:41:36,349
whenever the schools open or

3268
01:41:37,816 --> 01:41:38,066
whenever the experience is open

3269
01:41:39,566 --> 01:41:39,816
you can be a part of the school

3270
01:41:40,349 --> 01:41:40,599
day. So maybe the student needs

3271
01:41:43,599 --> 01:41:43,849
to go from noon to 3 at their

3272
01:41:45,349 --> 01:41:45,599
sending school site and then

3273
01:41:46,116 --> 01:41:46,366
they need to come to a

3274
01:41:47,633 --> 01:41:47,883
technology center after in an

3275
01:41:49,333 --> 01:41:49,583
evening program or maybe they

3276
01:41:49,933 --> 01:41:50,183
need to come to an

3277
01:41:51,849 --> 01:41:52,099
apprenticeship opportunity. We

3278
01:41:53,616 --> 01:41:53,866
need to be open and available

3279
01:41:55,616 --> 01:41:55,866
for more students and more times

3280
01:41:57,366 --> 01:41:57,616
to to make the best use of the

3281
01:41:58,133 --> 01:41:58,383
dollars that we do have. so

3282
01:41:59,616 --> 01:41:59,866
that's one of the things that we

3283
01:42:01,583 --> 01:42:01,833
can do fairly cheap and then we

3284
01:42:03,366 --> 01:42:03,616
need to expand programs to the

3285
01:42:03,983 --> 01:42:04,233
students that are waiting to get

3286
01:42:04,649 --> 01:42:04,899
in

3287
01:42:07,866 --> 01:42:08,116
we all talk about that we want

3288
01:42:08,483 --> 01:42:08,733
to support business and industry

3289
01:42:09,866 --> 01:42:10,116
we're bringing in new industry

3290
01:42:12,116 --> 01:42:12,366
to Oklahoma existing industry is

3291
01:42:14,133 --> 01:42:14,383
growing all these great things

3292
01:42:15,599 --> 01:42:15,849
happening in our state and I

3293
01:42:16,233 --> 01:42:16,483
think one thing that we need to

3294
01:42:17,833 --> 01:42:18,083
make sure we invest in is how do

3295
01:42:19,599 --> 01:42:19,849
we get people trained for those

3296
01:42:21,383 --> 01:42:21,633
placements and so we can do that

3297
01:42:22,049 --> 01:42:22,299
by expanding programming

3298
01:42:25,633 --> 01:42:25,883
giving questions thus far, I

3299
01:42:26,299 --> 01:42:26,549
don't want you to forget them.

3300
01:42:27,466 --> 01:42:27,716
OK.

3301
01:42:30,316 --> 01:42:30,566
all right businessiness and

3302
01:42:31,583 --> 01:42:31,833
industry training that is part

3303
01:42:33,349 --> 01:42:33,599
of a technology center asannya

3304
01:42:35,349 --> 01:42:35,599
mentioned. Currently we put very

3305
01:42:37,566 --> 01:42:37,816
little money into that most

3306
01:42:39,349 --> 01:42:39,599
of which is done by private

3307
01:42:40,049 --> 01:42:40,299
business themselves we serve

3308
01:42:41,816 --> 01:42:42,066
over 10,000 businesses in that

3309
01:42:43,633 --> 01:42:43,883
capacity so we've got to start

3310
01:42:45,349 --> 01:42:45,599
making a difference with what we

3311
01:42:47,383 --> 01:42:47,633
do for coordinators that's one

3312
01:42:48,133 --> 01:42:48,383
of the the big bullet point at

3313
01:42:49,616 --> 01:42:49,866
the bottom. I'll skip over the

3314
01:42:51,349 --> 01:42:51,599
apprenticeship policy because I

3315
01:42:52,116 --> 01:42:52,366
hit that one pretty hard with

3316
01:42:53,599 --> 01:42:53,849
you earlier and I'm going to hit

3317
01:42:54,333 --> 01:42:54,583
you all sessions so just get

3318
01:42:55,866 --> 01:42:56,116
ready for it. Funding

3319
01:42:57,783 --> 01:42:58,033
coordinators that's one thing

3320
01:42:58,466 --> 01:42:58,716
ataa mentioned in her

3321
01:43:01,983 --> 01:43:02,233
s li de sh ow we do a fantastic

3322
01:43:04,049 --> 01:43:04,299
job in Oklahoma of making sure

3323
01:43:07,349 --> 01:43:07,599
that we offer resources to

3324
01:43:09,333 --> 01:43:09,583
individuals through through

3325
01:43:10,066 --> 01:43:10,316
federal grants whether

3326
01:43:12,066 --> 01:43:12,316
it'sannaf funding or whether

3327
01:43:14,066 --> 01:43:14,316
it's other DHS funding or DRS

3328
01:43:15,616 --> 01:43:15,866
funding that we're trying to

3329
01:43:17,349 --> 01:43:17,599
braid together in our workforce

3330
01:43:18,116 --> 01:43:18,366
model today that's going really

3331
01:43:19,849 --> 01:43:20,099
really well I'll be at the end

3332
01:43:21,349 --> 01:43:21,599
of this week I'll be

3333
01:43:22,066 --> 01:43:22,316
atharvard explaining how

3334
01:43:23,599 --> 01:43:23,849
Oklahoma's doing that to the

3335
01:43:24,216 --> 01:43:24,466
rest of the country because

3336
01:43:25,849 --> 01:43:26,099
we're doing it better than most

3337
01:43:27,799 --> 01:43:28,049
but what we don't do is make

3338
01:43:28,466 --> 01:43:28,716
sure that we have

3339
01:43:32,133 --> 01:43:32,383
somebody regionally that focuses

3340
01:43:34,049 --> 01:43:34,299
on those individuals getting a

3341
01:43:37,349 --> 01:43:37,599
real work experience and so

3342
01:43:37,949 --> 01:43:38,199
that's one thing that we could

3343
01:43:39,849 --> 01:43:40,099
do different and accelerate

3344
01:43:41,583 --> 01:43:41,833
our model is the fund

3345
01:43:42,316 --> 01:43:42,566
coordinators at every technology

3346
01:43:43,833 --> 01:43:44,083
center where they could take a

3347
01:43:45,849 --> 01:43:46,099
regional approach and serve

3348
01:43:47,583 --> 01:43:47,833
everyone in that area they can

3349
01:43:49,599 --> 01:43:49,849
serve college enrollments as

3350
01:43:51,349 --> 01:43:51,599
well for that related technical

3351
01:43:52,066 --> 01:43:52,316
instruction or related

3352
01:43:53,349 --> 01:43:53,599
instruction they could serve

3353
01:43:54,333 --> 01:43:54,583
private business. they can make

3354
01:43:55,849 --> 01:43:56,099
sure that we have matches going

3355
01:43:57,799 --> 01:43:58,049
on so that employers know who's

3356
01:44:01,583 --> 01:44:01,833
available for an apprentice and

3357
01:44:03,349 --> 01:44:03,599
apprentices know what employers

3358
01:44:04,066 --> 01:44:04,316
are available so that's one

3359
01:44:05,599 --> 01:44:05,849
thing that we've got to do if

3360
01:44:06,249 --> 01:44:06,499
we're going to expand what's

3361
01:44:06,916 --> 01:44:07,166
available to us

3362
01:44:10,083 --> 01:44:10,333
one of the things that I'll

3363
01:44:11,833 --> 01:44:12,083
continue to mention is funding

3364
01:44:13,583 --> 01:44:13,833
for career tech opportunities so

3365
01:44:14,299 --> 01:44:14,549
that we can support all of

3366
01:44:15,833 --> 01:44:16,083
education. I continue to do that

3367
01:44:17,849 --> 01:44:18,099
every year. we'll we'll

3368
01:44:20,099 --> 01:44:20,349
continue to show this we did

3369
01:44:22,066 --> 01:44:22,316
gain we're4% now where we used

3370
01:44:24,049 --> 01:44:24,299
to be 3% of the educational

3371
01:44:26,083 --> 01:44:26,333
opportunities in this state and

3372
01:44:27,383 --> 01:44:27,633
I would ask any questions that

3373
01:44:29,349 --> 01:44:29,599
you might have because I think

3374
01:44:30,099 --> 01:44:30,349
what I've hoped to make evident

3375
01:44:31,599 --> 01:44:31,849
is that there's plenty of

3376
01:44:32,299 --> 01:44:32,549
solutions we just got to get

3377
01:44:32,933 --> 01:44:33,183
behind them

3378
01:44:35,383 --> 01:44:35,633
to members with questions

3379
01:44:41,833 --> 01:44:42,083
I have I did you bet was hoping

3380
01:44:44,066 --> 01:44:44,316
do have a couple of questions go

3381
01:44:44,733 --> 01:44:44,983
ahead OK

3382
01:44:48,099 --> 01:44:48,349
you talked about changing the

3383
01:44:50,083 --> 01:44:50,333
format of the school day. What

3384
01:44:54,133 --> 01:44:54,383
and I'm basing this on a little

3385
01:44:56,116 --> 01:44:56,366
bit of personal experience and a

3386
01:44:58,099 --> 01:44:58,349
little bit of knowing what's

3387
01:45:01,783 --> 01:45:02,033
happening in a school today

3388
01:45:05,866 --> 01:45:06,116
what is keeping students from

3389
01:45:08,116 --> 01:45:08,366
going to school part of the day

3390
01:45:09,716 --> 01:45:09,966
and then going and doing an

3391
01:45:10,366 --> 01:45:10,616
internship after school

3392
01:45:13,933 --> 01:45:14,183
so a couple of things that I

3393
01:45:15,399 --> 01:45:15,649
might mention thank you for that

3394
01:45:16,083 --> 01:45:16,333
question.

3395
01:45:18,116 --> 01:45:18,366
schools have to maintain a six

3396
01:45:19,733 --> 01:45:19,983
hours of rigor during the school

3397
01:45:20,466 --> 01:45:20,716
day and they're accredited based

3398
01:45:22,166 --> 01:45:22,416
off that six hours of rigor

3399
01:45:24,149 --> 01:45:24,399
and so what has to happen is

3400
01:45:26,133 --> 01:45:26,383
you're going to require in in

3401
01:45:29,383 --> 01:45:29,633
that situation you would require

3402
01:45:30,066 --> 01:45:30,316
the student to put in their

3403
01:45:31,416 --> 01:45:31,666
school day and then do extra

3404
01:45:33,633 --> 01:45:33,883
after inokklahoma that would

3405
01:45:35,399 --> 01:45:35,649
be very limited students would

3406
01:45:36,133 --> 01:45:36,383
have access to that opportunity

3407
01:45:37,599 --> 01:45:37,849
because the other things that

3408
01:45:39,616 --> 01:45:39,866
they're involved in so they

3409
01:45:41,366 --> 01:45:41,616
could do that but the school is

3410
01:45:42,333 --> 01:45:42,583
not going to recognize that as

3411
01:45:43,899 --> 01:45:44,149
part of the school day. What I'm

3412
01:45:45,666 --> 01:45:45,916
suggesting is we we eliminate

3413
01:45:46,333 --> 01:45:46,583
the

3414
01:45:49,649 --> 01:45:49,899
barrier and let that six hours

3415
01:45:50,283 --> 01:45:50,533
of rigor count at any time in

3416
01:45:51,966 --> 01:45:52,216
the day but we can't currently

3417
01:45:52,633 --> 01:45:52,883
do that

3418
01:45:54,283 --> 01:45:54,533
if that if that helps to

3419
01:45:59,666 --> 01:45:59,916
you can add work time but it

3420
01:46:00,333 --> 01:46:00,583
does not count as your school

3421
01:46:00,999 --> 01:46:01,249
time.

3422
01:46:05,383 --> 01:46:05,633
what about internships that are

3423
01:46:06,099 --> 01:46:06,349
happening during the school day

3424
01:46:09,383 --> 01:46:09,633
and the students are enrolled in

3425
01:46:11,383 --> 01:46:11,633
a class during the school day

3426
01:46:12,016 --> 01:46:12,266
that there's nothing I mean

3427
01:46:15,599 --> 01:46:15,849
I don't want to rat anyone out I

3428
01:46:17,399 --> 01:46:17,649
know that's happening today and

3429
01:46:18,116 --> 01:46:18,366
so I've just

3430
01:46:21,399 --> 01:46:21,649
talk about that for a little bit

3431
01:46:24,116 --> 01:46:24,366
I'll be happy to and to clarify

3432
01:46:27,366 --> 01:46:27,616
it is allowable to code

3433
01:46:29,649 --> 01:46:29,899
internship hours up to2 hours

3434
01:46:30,249 --> 01:46:30,499
per school day currently

3435
01:46:33,583 --> 01:46:33,833
what we experience is most of

3436
01:46:35,883 --> 01:46:36,133
the time for an employer it's

3437
01:46:38,166 --> 01:46:38,416
not very worthwhile for them to

3438
01:46:39,899 --> 01:46:40,149
have them there only two hours a

3439
01:46:41,666 --> 01:46:41,916
day. I need them there longer if

3440
01:46:43,399 --> 01:46:43,649
we're going to make this a

3441
01:46:44,166 --> 01:46:44,416
meaningful experience and so

3442
01:46:45,866 --> 01:46:46,116
it's not currently allowable by

3443
01:46:47,683 --> 01:46:47,933
law to have more than two hours.

3444
01:46:49,649 --> 01:46:49,899
there are schools that do that.

3445
01:46:51,383 --> 01:46:51,633
I found ways to work around that

3446
01:46:52,216 --> 01:46:52,466
I'll be real honest when I was a

3447
01:46:53,399 --> 01:46:53,649
building principal and a

3448
01:46:54,199 --> 01:46:54,449
superintendent, I would code a

3449
01:46:55,916 --> 01:46:56,166
couple of hours internship and

3450
01:46:58,133 --> 01:46:58,383
we would have a eid hour for

3451
01:46:59,933 --> 01:47:00,183
this and an eight hour for that

3452
01:47:00,666 --> 01:47:00,916
and they would probably not be

3453
01:47:01,316 --> 01:47:01,566
there because

3454
01:47:03,666 --> 01:47:03,916
I was doing what's right for the

3455
01:47:05,633 --> 01:47:05,883
student. If I get caught doing

3456
01:47:06,249 --> 01:47:06,499
that then I could have an

3457
01:47:09,649 --> 01:47:09,899
accreditation issue because

3458
01:47:11,366 --> 01:47:11,616
it's not allowable by law but I

3459
01:47:13,399 --> 01:47:13,649
was doing it anyway and and

3460
01:47:13,999 --> 01:47:14,249
there's going to be other

3461
01:47:15,416 --> 01:47:15,666
schools that do that what we're

3462
01:47:16,116 --> 01:47:16,366
what I'm suggesting is let's

3463
01:47:17,666 --> 01:47:17,916
quit putting the barriers in

3464
01:47:19,416 --> 01:47:19,666
place. This used to happen in

3465
01:47:20,166 --> 01:47:20,416
the fiftiess,60s and seventiess

3466
01:47:22,149 --> 01:47:22,399
in Oklahoma we had on jobb

3467
01:47:23,466 --> 01:47:23,716
training happened all over the

3468
01:47:25,399 --> 01:47:25,649
state it works really really

3469
01:47:27,933 --> 01:47:28,183
well until we quit adding the

3470
01:47:29,649 --> 01:47:29,899
educational component and we

3471
01:47:30,316 --> 01:47:30,566
just turned them loose to work.

3472
01:47:30,983 --> 01:47:31,233
What I'm

3473
01:47:33,416 --> 01:47:33,666
suggesting we do is we make sure

3474
01:47:35,416 --> 01:47:35,666
we maintain the educational

3475
01:47:37,399 --> 01:47:37,649
opportunities the RI the RTti or

3476
01:47:38,133 --> 01:47:38,383
however you want to refer to it

3477
01:47:40,116 --> 01:47:40,366
and we allow them to work up to

3478
01:47:43,416 --> 01:47:43,666
a half day in a setting so that

3479
01:47:44,199 --> 01:47:44,449
we can count both and so we

3480
01:47:45,666 --> 01:47:45,916
don't have to work around the

3481
01:47:47,649 --> 01:47:47,899
law that we would find a way to

3482
01:47:49,616 --> 01:47:49,866
actually allow for that and it

3483
01:47:51,383 --> 01:47:51,633
encourage it that's one of the

3484
01:47:52,016 --> 01:47:52,266
things that I think we need to

3485
01:47:53,399 --> 01:47:53,649
do we need to encourage more

3486
01:47:54,133 --> 01:47:54,383
young children to get job

3487
01:47:56,199 --> 01:47:56,449
experiences like a 12 year

3488
01:47:58,249 --> 01:47:58,499
oldpresentative Norwood we need

3489
01:47:59,966 --> 01:48:00,216
those experiences because the

3490
01:48:00,633 --> 01:48:00,883
reason we're failing behind or

3491
01:48:04,183 --> 01:48:04,433
falling behind in soft skills is

3492
01:48:04,833 --> 01:48:05,083
because the kids never go to a

3493
01:48:05,499 --> 01:48:05,749
dang job

3494
01:48:07,833 --> 01:48:08,083
my kid's not gonna have a

3495
01:48:09,633 --> 01:48:09,883
problem showing up to work

3496
01:48:10,216 --> 01:48:10,466
because on Labor Day they were

3497
01:48:11,883 --> 01:48:12,133
up at6 a.m. to start working on

3498
01:48:13,599 --> 01:48:13,849
the on the Saturday before that

3499
01:48:14,316 --> 01:48:14,566
I got him passing out because

3500
01:48:15,899 --> 01:48:16,149
we're rolling up fence that's

3501
01:48:17,616 --> 01:48:17,866
just the way it goes but most

3502
01:48:19,366 --> 01:48:19,616
households are not that way

3503
01:48:19,999 --> 01:48:20,249
kidsd never work anymore and

3504
01:48:21,583 --> 01:48:21,833
that that's the problem is we've

3505
01:48:23,349 --> 01:48:23,599
got to provide and encourage an

3506
01:48:24,116 --> 01:48:24,366
opportunity for them to go to

3507
01:48:25,616 --> 01:48:25,866
work so they learned that it's

3508
01:48:27,649 --> 01:48:27,899
fun it's great to be at work and

3509
01:48:28,399 --> 01:48:28,649
be productive and get paid for

3510
01:48:29,483 --> 01:48:29,733
it and we've got to encourage

3511
01:48:30,149 --> 01:48:30,399
that.

3512
01:48:33,366 --> 01:48:33,616
I appreciate you saying that my

3513
01:48:35,416 --> 01:48:35,666
son called me his third week of

3514
01:48:36,083 --> 01:48:36,333
college after he had gone to

3515
01:48:36,733 --> 01:48:36,983
career tech

3516
01:48:38,149 --> 01:48:38,399
and said mother

3517
01:48:41,583 --> 01:48:41,833
these young men need to spend

3518
01:48:42,249 --> 01:48:42,499
about three weeks with you

3519
01:48:43,633 --> 01:48:43,883
because he

3520
01:48:45,899 --> 01:48:46,149
he felt like they didn't

3521
01:48:47,416 --> 01:48:47,666
actually know how to work

3522
01:48:49,849 --> 01:48:50,099
sometimes ok you mentioned

3523
01:48:51,833 --> 01:48:52,083
you talked about all I wrote

3524
01:48:53,849 --> 01:48:54,099
down was release the students

3525
01:48:55,683 --> 01:48:55,933
did you just do we need to talk

3526
01:48:57,449 --> 01:48:57,699
about that a little bit more or

3527
01:48:58,116 --> 01:48:58,366
did you cover all that

3528
01:49:02,083 --> 01:49:02,333
don't mind clarifying yeah so

3529
01:49:05,383 --> 01:49:05,633
what we need in in law or policy

3530
01:49:06,149 --> 01:49:06,399
is we need an opportunity to

3531
01:49:08,099 --> 01:49:08,349
9000 level course code that

3532
01:49:09,866 --> 01:49:10,116
tonya talked about and I didn't

3533
01:49:11,883 --> 01:49:12,133
want to overstep what tonya

3534
01:49:12,499 --> 01:49:12,749
talked about because she's

3535
01:49:14,149 --> 01:49:14,399
exactly right. Currently we can

3536
01:49:16,133 --> 01:49:16,383
give 9000 level course codes to

3537
01:49:19,666 --> 01:49:19,916
attend a technology center we

3538
01:49:21,383 --> 01:49:21,633
are wanting the same to be

3539
01:49:22,133 --> 01:49:22,383
available for apprenticeship

3540
01:49:25,383 --> 01:49:25,633
opportunities for students that

3541
01:49:26,033 --> 01:49:26,283
we're never going to fill the

3542
01:49:27,433 --> 01:49:27,683
full need if we have to bring

3543
01:49:28,049 --> 01:49:28,299
every one of them to the

3544
01:49:28,599 --> 01:49:28,849
technology center

3545
01:49:31,849 --> 01:49:32,099
we can use an apprenticeship as

3546
01:49:33,616 --> 01:49:33,866
a way to leverage the capability

3547
01:49:35,616 --> 01:49:35,866
on the business and industry

3548
01:49:37,433 --> 01:49:37,683
side or the web side where we

3549
01:49:38,099 --> 01:49:38,349
can give them short term

3550
01:49:39,616 --> 01:49:39,866
training and then release them

3551
01:49:41,383 --> 01:49:41,633
into an apprenticeship setting.

3552
01:49:42,049 --> 01:49:42,299
The difference between

3553
01:49:43,866 --> 01:49:44,116
apprenticeship and just on jobb

3554
01:49:45,633 --> 01:49:45,883
training that we used to use the

3555
01:49:47,399 --> 01:49:47,649
term for we're not turning them

3556
01:49:48,149 --> 01:49:48,399
loose. they have a contract that

3557
01:49:49,649 --> 01:49:49,899
they're following. we have

3558
01:49:51,383 --> 01:49:51,633
educational objectives they must

3559
01:49:53,383 --> 01:49:53,633
obtain part of which are the

3560
01:49:54,116 --> 01:49:54,366
employers and part of which is

3561
01:49:56,083 --> 01:49:56,333
the education provider so

3562
01:49:57,633 --> 01:49:57,883
that's when I say release them

3563
01:49:58,299 --> 01:49:58,549
we need to the ability to 9

3564
01:50:00,133 --> 01:50:00,383
000 level course code for an

3565
01:50:02,116 --> 01:50:02,366
apprenticeship and make sure

3566
01:50:03,649 --> 01:50:03,899
that it doesn't have to be a

3567
01:50:05,616 --> 01:50:05,866
licensed teacher wouldn't have

3568
01:50:06,333 --> 01:50:06,583
to be a science teacher or

3569
01:50:08,083 --> 01:50:08,333
English teacher it can be that

3570
01:50:08,766 --> 01:50:09,016
project manager

3571
01:50:12,099 --> 01:50:12,349
two questions'm gonna start with

3572
01:50:15,583 --> 01:50:15,833
the first one first one

3573
01:50:17,783 --> 01:50:18,033
ok so releasing the students

3574
01:50:23,833 --> 01:50:24,083
how is that not the have a huge

3575
01:50:26,083 --> 01:50:26,333
issue with juniors and seniors

3576
01:50:27,849 --> 01:50:28,099
in high school who show up at

3577
01:50:31,566 --> 01:50:31,816
high school one hour a day and

3578
01:50:33,849 --> 01:50:34,099
so if we can do that in a high

3579
01:50:35,599 --> 01:50:35,849
school in the high school

3580
01:50:36,316 --> 01:50:36,566
receives a full day's wage for

3581
01:50:38,116 --> 01:50:38,366
that student because they're in

3582
01:50:39,849 --> 01:50:40,099
concurrent enrollment or they're

3583
01:50:42,099 --> 01:50:42,349
doing whatever they're not being

3584
01:50:44,066 --> 01:50:44,316
in school why is there some

3585
01:50:49,599 --> 01:50:49,849
policy that's not in effect that

3586
01:50:51,633 --> 01:50:51,883
they're enrolled at the career

3587
01:50:53,833 --> 01:50:54,083
techenter for their internship

3588
01:50:55,599 --> 01:50:55,849
therefore they're at their

3589
01:50:57,833 --> 01:50:58,083
internship while being counted

3590
01:50:59,599 --> 01:50:59,849
at the careerent like they are

3591
01:51:00,299 --> 01:51:00,549
in a normal high school when

3592
01:51:02,099 --> 01:51:02,349
they're doing concurrent

3593
01:51:05,333 --> 01:51:05,583
enrollment that's a great

3594
01:51:06,083 --> 01:51:06,333
question and and hopefully I

3595
01:51:08,133 --> 01:51:08,383
clarify this clearly it is

3596
01:51:11,616 --> 01:51:11,866
allowable for concurrent and for

3597
01:51:13,866 --> 01:51:14,116
career and technical programs to

3598
01:51:14,516 --> 01:51:14,766
release student but it

3599
01:51:17,349 --> 01:51:17,599
is not allowable for an

3600
01:51:17,899 --> 01:51:18,149
apprenticeship

3601
01:51:20,133 --> 01:51:20,383
so that's what we need to add

3602
01:51:22,116 --> 01:51:22,366
into the policy we can add a

3603
01:51:25,349 --> 01:51:25,599
component of work-based learning

3604
01:51:27,349 --> 01:51:27,599
to our programs currently but

3605
01:51:28,099 --> 01:51:28,349
we're not supposed to release

3606
01:51:29,599 --> 01:51:29,849
them without being under a

3607
01:51:31,599 --> 01:51:31,849
teacher's supervision that's the

3608
01:51:33,349 --> 01:51:33,599
difference now you mentioned a

3609
01:51:35,599 --> 01:51:35,849
problem that I have even at

3610
01:51:37,616 --> 01:51:37,866
our school we don't allow a

3611
01:51:39,883 --> 01:51:40,133
concurrent online student to not

3612
01:51:41,599 --> 01:51:41,849
be butt and seat because we were

3613
01:51:43,366 --> 01:51:43,616
tired of them sitting at home in

3614
01:51:44,099 --> 01:51:44,349
their pajamas doing school work

3615
01:51:45,383 --> 01:51:45,633
when they should have been at

3616
01:51:45,999 --> 01:51:46,249
school and that's just a

3617
01:51:47,483 --> 01:51:47,733
personal old schoolol philosophy

3618
01:51:48,149 --> 01:51:48,399
but anyway

3619
01:51:49,899 --> 01:51:50,149
this is where we want

3620
01:51:51,649 --> 01:51:51,899
supervision but it doesn't have

3621
01:51:53,349 --> 01:51:53,599
to be a licensed teacher they

3622
01:51:54,133 --> 01:51:54,383
could be under a you know a

3623
01:51:57,349 --> 01:51:57,599
mentor situation and an

3624
01:51:59,616 --> 01:51:59,866
apprenticeship we want students

3625
01:52:00,383 --> 01:52:00,633
through their 12th grade year to

3626
01:52:03,349 --> 01:52:03,599
be present somewhere be at

3627
01:52:05,366 --> 01:52:05,616
school, being an apprenticeship,

3628
01:52:06,099 --> 01:52:06,349
being in a career tech program,

3629
01:52:07,866 --> 01:52:08,116
be a concurrent classroom

3630
01:52:08,433 --> 01:52:08,683
wherever that is they need to be

3631
01:52:09,099 --> 01:52:09,349
present somewhere

3632
01:52:11,833 --> 01:52:12,083
OK now have one more question

3633
01:52:13,833 --> 01:52:14,083
about teacher certification

3634
01:52:14,383 --> 01:52:14,633
because as a

3635
01:52:17,366 --> 01:52:17,616
former educator I don't know if

3636
01:52:18,066 --> 01:52:18,316
you ever get to be a former

3637
01:52:21,633 --> 01:52:21,883
educator as an educator I the

3638
01:52:23,833 --> 01:52:24,083
legislature as a body has been

3639
01:52:25,849 --> 01:52:26,099
criticized and I know I've taken

3640
01:52:27,366 --> 01:52:27,616
it a little bit personally

3641
01:52:29,416 --> 01:52:29,666
because of how easy it has been

3642
01:52:31,599 --> 01:52:31,849
to get teacher certification in

3643
01:52:33,616 --> 01:52:33,866
the last six years or so. so

3644
01:52:35,899 --> 01:52:36,149
have you guys aggressively tried

3645
01:52:39,649 --> 01:52:39,899
to take advantage of the the law

3646
01:52:41,366 --> 01:52:41,616
in recent years to try to get as

3647
01:52:43,366 --> 01:52:43,616
many of your people at least

3648
01:52:44,099 --> 01:52:44,349
initially certified in maybe

3649
01:52:47,366 --> 01:52:47,616
a state of weakness in the

3650
01:52:49,849 --> 01:52:50,099
certification process because

3651
01:52:51,349 --> 01:52:51,599
sometimes that you can just

3652
01:52:53,866 --> 01:52:54,116
continue that absolutely so

3653
01:52:55,383 --> 01:52:55,633
great question. there are

3654
01:52:56,433 --> 01:52:56,683
many avenues through teacher

3655
01:52:58,166 --> 01:52:58,416
certification with changes in

3656
01:53:01,599 --> 01:53:01,849
adjunct with emergency all those

3657
01:53:03,366 --> 01:53:03,616
different things what we're

3658
01:53:05,849 --> 01:53:06,099
suggesting is that the mentor

3659
01:53:07,866 --> 01:53:08,116
and the whether they have a

3660
01:53:09,383 --> 01:53:09,633
education specialist at a

3661
01:53:11,883 --> 01:53:12,133
college institution or a tech

3662
01:53:13,649 --> 01:53:13,899
center or wherever togetherther

3663
01:53:14,283 --> 01:53:14,533
the mentor and that

3664
01:53:17,633 --> 01:53:17,883
education provider are the

3665
01:53:19,633 --> 01:53:19,883
supervisor for that student

3666
01:53:21,349 --> 01:53:21,599
because you're not going to get

3667
01:53:23,366 --> 01:53:23,616
somebody that's working on

3668
01:53:25,349 --> 01:53:25,599
the floor at Noram to also bet

3669
01:53:26,083 --> 01:53:26,333
teacher certified likely that's

3670
01:53:27,883 --> 01:53:28,133
gonna be more rare but they're

3671
01:53:29,383 --> 01:53:29,633
not going to be under direct

3672
01:53:30,116 --> 01:53:30,366
supervision of the teacher at

3673
01:53:31,883 --> 01:53:32,133
all times they may be at work

3674
01:53:33,849 --> 01:53:34,099
and we want that to be allowable

3675
01:53:35,849 --> 01:53:36,099
which currently is not allowable

3676
01:53:36,516 --> 01:53:36,766
other than the two hours a day

3677
01:53:39,349 --> 01:53:39,599
and then when

3678
01:53:41,633 --> 01:53:41,883
final note on that

3679
01:53:47,366 --> 01:53:47,616
are the mentors and the people

3680
01:53:51,899 --> 01:53:52,149
that work in these locations are

3681
01:53:53,816 --> 01:53:54,066
there required background checks

3682
01:53:57,333 --> 01:53:57,583
on those individuals who have

3683
01:53:59,366 --> 01:53:59,616
potential contact with

3684
01:53:59,866 --> 01:54:00,116
younger students

3685
01:54:03,349 --> 01:54:03,599
for everyone that is contact

3686
01:54:04,133 --> 01:54:04,383
with a high school student that

3687
01:54:05,883 --> 01:54:06,133
yes they if they're in a

3688
01:54:07,583 --> 01:54:07,833
supervisory role they would have

3689
01:54:08,316 --> 01:54:08,566
to be under a background check

3690
01:54:09,583 --> 01:54:09,833
so that's something the business

3691
01:54:11,333 --> 01:54:11,583
would have to agree to that if

3692
01:54:12,099 --> 01:54:12,349
we're going to take this on as a

3693
01:54:13,616 --> 01:54:13,866
legal means of offering an

3694
01:54:15,349 --> 01:54:15,599
apprenticeship to a high school

3695
01:54:16,133 --> 01:54:16,383
student as part of their school

3696
01:54:17,866 --> 01:54:18,116
day that would fall under

3697
01:54:19,583 --> 01:54:19,833
current Oklahoma state law where

3698
01:54:20,249 --> 01:54:20,499
they have to have a background

3699
01:54:20,916 --> 01:54:21,166
check as well.

3700
01:54:24,099 --> 01:54:24,349
that concludes my rounds of

3701
01:54:25,799 --> 01:54:26,049
questioning do any other members

3702
01:54:26,466 --> 01:54:26,716
have questions?

3703
01:54:30,133 --> 01:54:30,383
Representative Norwood go ahead

3704
01:54:31,333 --> 01:54:31,583
I'll just turn it back over to

3705
01:54:32,083 --> 01:54:32,333
you you're in charge for the

3706
01:54:33,833 --> 01:54:34,083
rest of time thank you so very

3707
01:54:35,566 --> 01:54:35,816
much today. I think that was

3708
01:54:37,349 --> 01:54:37,599
part of the conversation I've

3709
01:54:39,366 --> 01:54:39,616
had all the way through is can

3710
01:54:41,349 --> 01:54:41,599
we do something to cover the

3711
01:54:43,866 --> 01:54:44,116
companies for the certification

3712
01:54:45,849 --> 01:54:46,099
and justpresentative house back

3713
01:54:47,333 --> 01:54:47,583
this is exactly what you're

3714
01:54:48,133 --> 01:54:48,383
talking about in this time is

3715
01:54:49,899 --> 01:54:50,149
there a space where we can make

3716
01:54:52,133 --> 01:54:52,383
it where there is covering for

3717
01:54:55,349 --> 01:54:55,599
these industry leaders to have

3718
01:54:57,549 --> 01:54:57,799
instructors not necessarily

3719
01:54:58,099 --> 01:54:58,349
through the

3720
01:55:00,066 --> 01:55:00,316
going to education and and

3721
01:55:01,583 --> 01:55:01,833
getting there is there anything

3722
01:55:03,599 --> 01:55:03,849
we can do to develop that is

3723
01:55:05,333 --> 01:55:05,583
there a pathway you've already

3724
01:55:05,999 --> 01:55:06,249
started to develop toward that

3725
01:55:08,133 --> 01:55:08,383
thank you for the question and

3726
01:55:10,133 --> 01:55:10,383
yes we do have a

3727
01:55:11,583 --> 01:55:11,833
industryrecod specialist

3728
01:55:13,633 --> 01:55:13,883
certificate area that we already

3729
01:55:15,616 --> 01:55:15,866
use withinchnology centers that

3730
01:55:17,333 --> 01:55:17,583
may be amenable to this

3731
01:55:20,116 --> 01:55:20,366
situation but would it

3732
01:55:22,099 --> 01:55:22,349
would it be necessary and if

3733
01:55:24,099 --> 01:55:24,349
they're not instructing full

3734
01:55:25,616 --> 01:55:25,866
time that's what we have to

3735
01:55:27,349 --> 01:55:27,599
explore is what does the policy

3736
01:55:27,999 --> 01:55:28,249
look like as we craft that

3737
01:55:29,883 --> 01:55:30,133
because we could we could go

3738
01:55:31,366 --> 01:55:31,616
down that road of making them an

3739
01:55:33,633 --> 01:55:33,883
industryrecod specialist USIC

3740
01:55:35,366 --> 01:55:35,616
does that currently with their

3741
01:55:35,999 --> 01:55:36,249
instructors that are at Canadian

3742
01:55:36,666 --> 01:55:36,916
Valley and

3743
01:55:38,116 --> 01:55:38,366
and meridian and they're working

3744
01:55:40,149 --> 01:55:40,399
in a very similar to an

3745
01:55:42,133 --> 01:55:42,383
apprenticeship manner so that's

3746
01:55:45,616 --> 01:55:45,866
a possibility. it is a new

3747
01:55:47,349 --> 01:55:47,599
pathway that we built that could

3748
01:55:49,366 --> 01:55:49,616
be expanded so you could have

3749
01:55:51,366 --> 01:55:51,616
two policy adjustments where you

3750
01:55:52,116 --> 01:55:52,366
adjust that policy for teacher

3751
01:55:53,866 --> 01:55:54,116
certification and you build an

3752
01:55:56,083 --> 01:55:56,333
apprenticeship policy or you

3753
01:55:56,649 --> 01:55:56,899
could combine them in two

3754
01:56:03,833 --> 01:56:04,083
thank you very much for your

3755
01:56:05,366 --> 01:56:05,616
time thank you to everyone who's

3756
01:56:06,049 --> 01:56:06,299
come to be a part of the study

3757
01:56:07,349 --> 01:56:07,599
today

3758
01:56:11,583 --> 01:56:11,833
I'm encouraged that Oklahoma is

3759
01:56:13,349 --> 01:56:13,599
looking to continue to be on the

3760
01:56:15,583 --> 01:56:15,833
forefront of internships

3761
01:56:17,566 --> 01:56:17,816
apprenticeships I'm excited

3762
01:56:19,583 --> 01:56:19,833
about what your company is doing

3763
01:56:22,299 --> 01:56:22,549
coming to the tulsa side I'll

3764
01:56:24,099 --> 01:56:24,349
I'll end with this with this

3765
01:56:26,099 --> 01:56:26,349
thought any any opportunities we

3766
01:56:27,849 --> 01:56:28,099
can give students any any

3767
01:56:29,349 --> 01:56:29,599
opportunities we can give

3768
01:56:30,099 --> 01:56:30,349
students to figure out where

3769
01:56:33,349 --> 01:56:33,599
they're headed earlier. I

3770
01:56:35,616 --> 01:56:35,866
think that's a positive thing

3771
01:56:37,383 --> 01:56:37,633
cause kids that already kind of

3772
01:56:38,033 --> 01:56:38,283
have a path

3773
01:56:39,816 --> 01:56:40,066
and a plan they get on that and

3774
01:56:41,583 --> 01:56:41,833
get moving and that gives them

3775
01:56:43,599 --> 01:56:43,849
future for family it gives them

3776
01:56:45,583 --> 01:56:45,833
future for a whole lot of things

3777
01:56:47,583 --> 01:56:47,833
so we want to give those

3778
01:56:49,333 --> 01:56:49,583
opportunities thank you to

3779
01:56:51,349 --> 01:56:51,599
everyone thank you very much for

3780
01:56:52,066 --> 01:56:52,316
being part of the interim study

3781
01:56:53,616 --> 01:56:53,866
today and I think that concludes

3782
01:56:56,116 --> 01:56:56,366
our time on time we made it yes

3783
01:56:59,349 --> 01:56:59,599
we just concluded interim
