Oklahoma Apprenticeship

Big news! 🎉
Our newest web presence is live at Tulsa Tech —another step forward as technology centers across Oklahoma unite to grow an industry-driven workforce.
Together, we’re creating real opportunities for Oklahomans to learn, earn, and succeed.

Apprenticeship | Tulsa Technology Center Peoria Campus is temporarily closed due to storm damage. All career training programs for the remainder of the 2025–26 school year have been relocated to other campus locations.

The window is closing. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞.

Applications for the Oklahoma Innovation Expansion Program (OIEP) are due this week, and manufacturers across Oklahoma are finalizing plans for projects that strengthen operations, expand capacity, and improve long-term competitiveness.

With $15 million available statewide for 2026, this is a real opportunity to offset costs tied to capital investments. But timing matters. The application window is short, and strong submissions require clear strategy and solid documentation.

OMA continues to work with manufacturers to evaluate projects and navigate the process. If you’ve been considering applying, now is the time to act.
