Ponca City – Pioneer Technology Center proudly congratulates Dr. Ryan Burkett, Instructional Director of Trade and Industry Services, on his graduation from the Technology Center Administrator Program (TechCAP). This highly respected leadership initiative is designed to support both current and aspiring leaders within Oklahoma’s CareerTech System. Through TechCAP, participants gain a deeper understanding of CareerTech operations and leadership, while exploring how the system prepares Oklahomans for success in the workplace, in education, and in life.
The program consists of eight sessions held monthly at technology centers across the state. Each session spans two full days of high-quality leadership development, with a required evening event to strengthen cohort connections. Participants are also required to attend at least one State Board of CareerTech Education meeting, either in person or virtually. The curriculum includes a broad range of essential leadership topics such as Shared Vision, Culture & Quality Programs, Management of Instruction, Community Resources, Integrity & Ethical Behaviors, and Advocacy.
Throughout the program, Dr. Burkett engaged in hands-on learning experiences, statewide networking opportunities, and received insights from a variety of seasoned CareerTech leaders. His successful completion of TechCAP reflects a strong commitment to professional growth, educational excellence, and leadership in CareerTech. Pioneer Tech is proud to recognize Dr. Burkett’s achievement and celebrates his continued contributions to workforce development and technical education in Oklahoma.
