The Pennsylvania State University served as the Pennsylvania Coordinator of Occupational Competency Assessment (OCA). It managed the Pennsylvania OCA Program, which provides the secondary public schools of the state with competent vocational instructors as a component of teacher preparation at Temple University, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, the University of Pittsburgh, and Pennsylvania State University. The coordination of the overall program was accomplished through meetings, personal visits, workshops, conferences, and frequent contact with the test center coordinators at each institution. Other activities included management of the test bank of materials obtained from the National Occupational Competency Testing Institute, computation of norm data from test results, and coordination of OCA activity with the Bureau of Teacher Certification. Numerous guides for test center use in counseling candidates were prepared and distributed, and studies were conducted for program improvement.
