The first and only female welding instructor in Oklahoma may be a little blunt, but Ale Day, 24, assures her students that it comes with the territory and she means no harm. “My kids will say, ‘You always sound so sarcastic,’ and I say ‘Well, I don’t mean to, but I’m not here to butter you up. I’m here to tell you how it is,” Day said. The Southern Oklahoma Technology Center’s newest welding instructor worked as a welder in the field for 6 years in New Jersey and California before moving back to Ardmore to be closer to her family. She applied for the welding instructor position not expecting to hear back, and had almost forgotten she had by the time the school called her for an interview.

Esparza is a 46-year-old mechanic for Evolution Fresh, a subsidiary of Starbucks that makes juices and smoothies. He’s taking a class in industrial computing taught by a community college at a local manufacturing plant in the hope it will bump up his wages. It’s a pretty safe bet. The skills being taught here are in high demand. That’s in part because so much effort has been put into encouraging high school graduates to go to college for academic degrees rather than for training in industrial and other trades that many fields like his face worker shortages.

When U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., was growing up, he didn’t dream of being an elected official — he wanted to be a professional baseball player “I just didn’t have the talent,” he said. He played through high school, but when he went go to college focused on his studies and wound up becoming a lawyer and, eventually, a U.S. Senator. On Wednesday, Donnelly paid a visit to students at Prosser Career Education Center that have the access to facilities that allow them to achieve their goals and are doing just that.
