The OVCTC students have been busy learning the Automotive Technology world and demonstrating what they have learned in the lab! In addition, a couple of guest speakers from the industry have provided our students with important industry information. Doug Bahnsen from Schaefer Oil gave a talk and demonstration on automotive oil and lubricants. The Automotive Technology lab also heard from Donna Wagoner, the ASE Education Foundation Vice President of Accredited Training Programs, gave a presentation on Automotive careers! The students have been very busy; they have all successfully passed their OSHA general industry 10 hour safety program and received their cards and certificates!

The OVCTC FFA General Livestock Judging Team competed at the Keystone International Livestock Exposition (KILE) National Contest last week. Team members were Hayden Crum, Ethan Beekman, Zander White, Wyatt Manning, and Ryan Shoemaker. They earned this national judging experience from competing in the Ohio FFA finals this past spring. The quality of livestock was exceptional and the team was able to network with some wonderful people in Pennsylvania. The team placed 15th overall and 13th overall in both swine and beef. These students represented the CTC well!
Special thanks to MacCauley Suffolks, John Rock Inc., New Holland Hay Tool, and the KILE livestock show for a great event.
