OATC provided the initial mechanism of funding and collection to create the Oklahoma Public Relations Project developed by the PR Council. This project enables schools to purchase high quality public relations materials that are localized to recruit Oklahoma students to career and technology programs. In many instances the materials can be localized to a particular community and school. By working together, the schools can utilize high volume purchasing to greatly decrease production cost. The OATC staff provides the necessary accounting, which includes accounts payable and receivable, and inventory support needed to maintain the PR project.

• OATC members receive the statewide newsletter. This newsletter provides information on upcoming career and technology education events and activities, such as the CareerTech Annual Summer Conference, Mid-Winter Conference, association activities, committee meetings, the awards program, and communication about membership services.
