Southern Tech partners with Work Ready Oklahoma

ARDMORE, Oklahoma (KXII) – Ardmore’s Southern Tech is partnering with Work Ready Oklahoma to boost the workforce in Southern Oklahoma.

Work Ready opened a new location in Southern Tech’s business center on Tuesday evening.

The first workshop will take place on Monday, September 16, at 9 a.m.

Work Ready Oklahoma helps people get the skills and support they need to find and hold the job they want.

Southern Tech Superintendent Dr. Eric Ward said the partnership was only natural.

“With our full time programs, we’ll train you to weld, we’ll train you to be a nurse, we’ll train all of those things we do with our typical full time programs,” Dr. Ward said. “Programs like this will benefit people that those don’t work for, they don’t have time to be in a full time program, this is something that you can come in for a few weeks, get training, and get connected with an employers that’s ready to hire you.”

The new Work Ready center in Ardmore is one of nearly two dozen spread across Oklahoma.

More information about how to get involved is available on the Work Ready website.
