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.
