MVCTC Receives
Outstanding Program Recognition
Englewood, Ohio -- The Southwest Region Ohio School Board Association
(OSBA) recognized two Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC)
programs at the Southwest Region Fall Conference on Thursday, October
9, 2014, at the Warren County Career Center.
These annual awards recognize outstanding programs that promote student
achievement. The MVCTC Hospitality Services Program was
recognized as an “Outstanding Special Recognition Program” and the
MVCTC Computer Technology Academy – Game Programming and Web
Applications program was recognized for being selected to participate
in the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) Student Achievement Fair.
“Outstanding Special Recognition Program” – The MVCTC Hospitality
Services program is a workplace training program that prepares students
for an entry level position in the Food and Lodging Industry. The
program offers a modified curriculum for students with cognitive
disabilities. The program partners with local business and industry to
provide worksite experience for students. Current worksites include:
Aramark Industries at Sinclair Community College where students work in
a variety of food and banquet settings; Crowne Plaza where students
learn linen management, room cleaning and preparation, and banquet
service; Maria Joseph Living Care Center where students get on-the-job
training in linens, food service, and activities working with
residents; and Children’s Medical Center where students work with
volunteer services. These worksites allow students to learn both hard
and soft skills needed to get and keep a job.
Hospitality Services instructor, Mrs. Tammi Newbourn states, “students
gain confidence and skills needed for workplace and independent living
and display observable and measurable growth over the course of two
years in the program”.
“Student Achievement Fair Participant Recognition” – Computer
Technology Academy – Game Programming and Web Applications program was
selected by OSBA to participate in the Capital Conference to be held
this November in Columbus. MVCTC students will share what they
have learned in class which includes, creating software applications;
3D animations; computer games; and interactive web applications using
programming code and specialized software.
For over 40-years, MVCTC has been providing career technical education
for 27 partner school districts encompassing five counties in Southwest
Ohio. MVCTC is dedicated to providing in-demand workforce
training for youth, adults, and organizations in the Miami
Valley.
