Our vision is to implement wealth-generating policies so all Oklahomans can achieve the American dream. To accomplish this, the Governor’s Council for Workforce and Economic Development will coordinate strategic priorities and plans across education, training and economic agencies, increasing alignment of the entire education and training pipeline. Created in 2014, Oklahoma Works aims to facilitate quality employment for workers and improve the availability of highly skilled talent for business and industry. The initiative is a coalition of state agencies, educational institutions, businesses and other partners working together on four main objectives: • Aligning and connecting the education and training pipeline with the needs of the state’s regional economies; • Integrating and using workforce and economic development data to inform policy, track progress and measure success; • Building partnerships between local industry and education at the regional level; and • Optimizing the use of resources and incentives.

Friday was the last day of the Asia trade mission! The Oklahoma team ended the trip very productively in Tokyo, where hotel staff honored them with flags displayed at the entrance. First, Oklahoma presented to the prestigious Keidanren organization, which is comprised of leaders from Japan’s largest companies, the likes of Toyota, Hitachi, and Japan Airlines. The Governor and his team did a wonderful job telling the State’s story and presenting business relationship opportunities to companies that might invest in our State. Next the team gave another great presentation to the Governor of the Japanese Bank of International Cooperation (JBIC). Here you see Governor Stitt gifting him with a bronze statue of the Oklahoma Bison. The team ended the workday at a welcome reception at the residence of the US Ambassador to Japan, Rahm Emanuel. He and the Governor both addressed the businesses in attendance, then OESC CEO Trae Rahill got to meet him. The trip was very successful. The team’s hosts had great questions and seemed very interested in what our State has to offer. We certainly have a lot here to be proud of! 🙏

Great job to all who participated at the Oklahoma Works Partners Conference! Congrats to Christopher Lange, a rehabilitation technician for our Vocation Rehabilitation office in Bartlesville, who was presented the Oklahoma Workforce and Economic Development Professional Award at the conference on October 4, 2024. Program Manager Kristi Hutton nominated Chris for the following, “ Christopher Lange is a Rehabilitation Technician for DRS in Bartlesville. This local office is housed with the Bartlesville Workforce center. Since he transferred to that position from another DRS office, he has actively strengthened the partnership between the two agencies and partnerships in the community. He is always willing to provide information or seek out new information for partners and clients of either agency. He does not wait to be asked, he offers his assistance to clients and staff of both agencies with a professional yet genuinely caring demeanor. He volunteered to participate in the Beyond Hope Academy. He truly excelled in the program and does not hesitate to share the skills he has developed, and the knowledge gained when he sees that it may make a difference in someone’s day. Christopher is tremendous asset to our DRS unit, Workforce, the public schools, local employers, our clients, and the many other partners and peers in our area. Christopher is an indispensable member of our team, and we are thankful to have him.” Director Fruendt participated in a Workforce Development System Partners Panel at the conference in Oklahoma City on October 3, 2024. She was joined by Trae Rahill, Oklahoma Employment Security Commission, and Max McKnight, Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education (CareerTech). The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) helps job seekers access employment, education, training and support services to succeed in the workforce while matching employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy. WIOA is implemented in Oklahoma in strategic coordination with core partner agencies. The panel discussion showcased the strengthened collaboration taking place between agencies.
