Ohio Career Technical Competency Assessment (OCTCA) System
The tests associated with the Ohio Career Technical Competency Assessment (OCTCA) system measure mastery of knowledge outlined in Ohio’s career-technical content standards. Standards were originally contained in Occupational Competency Analysis Profiles (OCAPs), Integrated Technical and Academic Competencies (ITACs), and Tech Prep Competency Profiles (TCPs). CETE is currently in the second year of a project, Articulation through Assessment (AtA), which runs through fiscal year 2013 and has two primary goals:
- Revise assessments in alignment with Ohio’s Career Field Technical Content Standards CFTCSs)
- Target assessments toward use for articulation of postsecondary credit
The work within the OCTCA system involves:
- Implementation of training on using WebXam, CETE’s secure web-based test delivery and data reporting system
- Continuous reviews and revisions of assessments
- Continuous improvement of WebXam
- Maintenance of a paper-pencil backup testing system
