OSDE Webinar - Workforce Development
Dear members, The Lawton Fort Sill Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the Oklahoma State Department of Education as they work to help better prepare our students for high skilled, high demand positions in Oklahoma. As part of this initiative, we are working with business leaders, such as yourself, to learn about the growing demands in your area as well as ensuring that our educators have the proper information to better prepare our students. As you may be aware, it is projected that in the year 2025 only 24 percent of Oklahoma jobs will be attainable with only a high school diploma. This is why OSDE and Oklahoma workforce professionals are working together to create ways to prepare our students for the future. Would you be interested in participating in a pilot study for the purpose of sharing your ideas and expertise in creating career pathways for students? Please join us Thursday April 12, from 9-10:30 a.m. to learn about exciting new initiatives and programs available to better prepare our Oklahoma workforce. What is this meeting? Are you curious about ways to connect with your local education leaders to create seamless career pipelines to fill your open positions and retain
