Reporter: Laci McCool

 

Where there is a will, there is a way, and it is her personal will to serve and assist people in their educational journey – from the simplest of learning a new skill to engaging in a whole new career. She truly believes that education gained is the one thing no one can ever take away. Laci McCool is the Adult and Career Development Coordinator at Caddo Kiowa Technology Center in Fort Cobb, Oklahoma.

 Mrs. McCool has built her career in education. Prior to moving to career and technical development, she spent the last 14 years in higher education working in university development, alumni affairs, health education, and student affairs. Now she services the career and training needs of her local district with customized training and adult education. Through creative and collaborative efforts, McCool brings training programs designed specifically for students and industry partners. From recruitment to graduation, idea development to curriculum design, employment, and employer satisfaction, she has walked hundreds through the entire training journey.

In 2019 she was awarded the OkPACE and ACTE PACE Diversity and Inclusion Award for her work with Native Americans in vocational rehabilitation programs. She currently serves as the OkACTE Diversity Action Committee chair for PACE, and is a mentor in the inaugural ACTE Inclusion, Equity, Access, and Diversity (IEAD) program. She has been an OkPACE member for four years.

McCool grew up in rural southwest Oklahoma on a third-generation family farm. She holds a Bachelor’s of Arts and a Master’s in Education. She continues her life’s work in providing opportunities, elevating her fellow Oklahoman’s changing lives one person at a time, one lesson at a time.
