3 Methods for Generating Economic Growth Strong consensus on these 4 economic development channels: 1. Better educated workforce (education) 2. More capital spending / higher capital intensity (capital) 3. More traded goods with markets outside the region (traded goods) 4. Larger share of the population in the labor force (participation) 2
4 Tulsa Tech Programs = Education+ Tulsa Tech pursues all 4 channels either directly or indirectly Career Majors (Full-time programs): education, employment share BIS/Customized Training: education, capital spending, traded goods Adult Career Development: education Oklahoma Bid Assistance Network (OBAN): education, traded goods 3

24 6. What do Evaluations of Tulsa Tech Programs Suggest about Performance? 23
25 Tulsa Tech has a long history of quantitative program evaluation efforts Evaluation efforts should (where possible): 1. Provide a thorough cost-benefit assessment 2. Consider costs to: students, taxpayers, and Tulsa Tech 3. Consider benefits to: students, firms, taxpayers, and the broader regional economy 4. Focus on income creation to the student and within the regional economy 24
26 What happens to students following training? Career and technology training produces: 1. Faster entry into the labor force 2. Immediate wage gains 3. Faster income growth over work-life 4. Faster growth in non-earned income 5. Higher retirement income 6. Other labor force benefits 7. Social benefits 25
27 Evaluation of Career Majors is Very Positive Tulsa Tech s 2,755 Career Major completers from the FY11 cohort: 1. Will earn an estimated $1.35 billion in added lifetime earnings as a result of the training 2. Present value (PV) of the gain is $524 million 3. 18% of all income gains across CareerTech system 4. About two-thirds will be earned in Oklahoma 5. Will generate $23.9 million in future tax revenue (PV) 6. PV of lifetime gain per completer is $190,190 26
28 Other areas produce favorable cost-benefit ratios Have examined BIS programs statewide since the early 2000s, large net benefits generated Adult training programs continue to fill a range of needs for micro training OBAN clients continue to win significant contracts 27
29 Observations on Tulsa Tech s Role in Local Economic Development and Growth 1. Tulsa Tech s activities are consistent with research 2. It still pays to seek the types of education and training offered by Tulsa Tech 3. Tulsa continues to lag in overall education gains but remains a relatively high-income region 4. Low education is being compensated for by strong growth in other channels (energy, manufacturing) 5. Cost-benefit analysis of Tulsa Tech programs shows very positive economic outcomes 28
