Posted by jerrymcginnis on November 28, 2007
Well, it’s official. All Oklahoma College of Construction programs have been approved and OCC is now an Approved Training Provider for Veterans. Paperwork and training manual are on the way from Washington, D.C.
Suzanne Constien just returned from the Texas Work Source Conference held in Houston and our booth was a big success. Several of the Texas Boards that had not approved our programs in previous applications came by our booth and requested Suzanne resubmit information to their board. Most of these requesters were either Board Directors or Chairman of the Boards.Suzanne has also been working on a connection between Oklahoma Youth and Construction Companies hiring or offering scholarships to the youth that fall into the In-Need Group. There is a meeting set for November 29th @3:00 at the OCC Campus. AGC, OMC, Oklahoma Educators, and Youth WIA Directors and ODOT will be in attendance. Federal funding for the Workforce Centers in most states has been greatly decreased for 2008. Suzanne is searching hard for other scholarships that can possibly help with the funding for agency students for 2008 fiscal year.
