Occupational Advisory Committee (OAC) Template Resource

Strong advisory committees are essential to high-quality Career and Technical Education programs. Our customizable resources are designed to help schools streamline planning, improve meeting engagement, and meet state requirements with confidence. Whether you're launching a new committee or refining your current process, our tools support effective collaboration between educators and industry partners.

What's Included In The OAC Toolkit

This comprehensive set of document includes:

  • A master outline to organize and link key forms and information for OAC members

  • Structured meeting outlines with discussion prompts for fall and spring meetings, designed to meet state requirements and ensure Special Populations are included in the conversation

  • Sample letters for welcoming members, event notifications, and resource requests

  • Tools to support equipment recommendations aligned with existing infrastructure

How These Materials Were Developed

These materials were created by condensing Pennsylvania’s 43-page Occupational Advisory Committee guidance document into a clear, actionable outline. The goal was to remove confusion and reduce the burden on educators by translating policy into practical tools. Developed in collaboration with administrators and CTE leaders, this resource highlights the most important requirements and organizes them into ready-to-use templates that save time and improve meeting quality.
