New Registered Apprenticeships to Come

New Registered Apprenticeships to Come

In a project initiated by Oklahoma Manufacturing Alliance and Harrison Consulting Group, last week, a collaborative meeting between Oklahoma Office of Workforce Development (OOWD), Department of Labor (DOL), Central Oklahoma Workforce Innovation Board (COWIB) and Applied Industrial Machining led to some exciting discussion around creating another Registered Apprenticeship Program in Central Oklahoma.

Jason Kays and Brian Adrianse led us on a tour of the facility to showcase how they manufacture products and the types of machines that they work on.
