Recently, our OVCTC SkillsUSA officer team hosted a visit with the State Advisor for the organization, Mrs. Jackie Miller. All SkillsUSA members in the building were engaged in team-building activities and the students learned more about competitive opportunities in the organization!
This week, Mr. Cooper's CNC Machining Lab received the Haas ST 25 Lathe. This is a great tool / resource for students to develop their milling skills. This lathe has a touch screen display and can take material 3 inches in diameter through the liner and it has a 12 tool turret that can run up to 10,000 RPM. While most of us won't understand these industry specifications, just know that our students are fortunate to learn their trade with this type of equipment! A huge thank you to Pro Mechanical in Panhandle for bringing us the equipment to move this lathe into the lab!
Mr. Palmer's Junior Automotive Technology Lab heard a presentation today from Travis Bell of the University of Northwestern Ohio (UNOH). Students learned about the training and certifications that are a part of their associate's degree programs.
The OVCTC is so proud of Caden Luck and Gabe Thatcher of the Ag Mechanics program. The "Res Q Cart" started as a buddy project in the shop for the FFA division at the Adams County Fair. We are proud of the ownership taken in the project, from start to finish. The Ag Mechanics program is proud to donate this cart to our first responder heros. We know the West Union EMTs will put the equipment to good use. We hope our project can help others in the community!
Recently, Mr. Chris Harover of the National Bank of Adams County spoke to our OVCTC Seniors about "Banking 101" and making sound financial decisions as they enter the workforce!
The Seniors have been mentoring the Juniors in the Culinary Arts lab as they make weekly preparations for the operation of the Career Cafe. Students are working hard to provide an additional dining option for their classmates at the OVCTC!
Recently, the Ag Mechanics and Automotive Technology programs collaborated in lab. Thanks to Mr. Palmer for the lesson and demonstration on the air conditioning equipment from auto to a tractor. It was a great discussion between our students.
