We're looking for someone with a High School Diploma or G.E.D., a valid Oklahoma Driver's License, and Tier 1 Paraprofessional eligibility. If you happen to have a Class B CDL with passenger and school bus endorsements, or hands-on trade experience, that's a huge bonus!

Our drone instructor, Brent Balch, put advanced technology to work in the field today using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) submersible to inspect underwater pump intakes. Operating the Deep Trekker ROV allowed for hands-on practice in navigation and underwater survey experience while capturing crucial footage of pump intake structures. In turn, our stakeholder received clear, actionable data regarding their infrastructure without requiring human divers. It is a win-win partnership that builds practical experience translating to skills and opportunities for our students while delivering real-world solutions to our community partners. If you'd like to talk shop about submersibles, drones, drone flight certifications, and more, reach out to Brent at 580-310-2271 or brbalch@pontotoctech.edu.

In a collaboration between our Practical Nursing students and Biotechnology students a few discoveries were made in the last few days. Students took samples from unwashed hands and compared them to samples from freshly washed hands. They also sampled a variety of surfaces in their environment to see what germs could be present – things like doorknobs, keyboards, desktops, and more. It was clear to all that proper handwashing techniques are critical to avoid spreading germs. It’s also clear that we live in biodiverse and complex world.
