Yesterday, we celebrated a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Skilled Systems Training Center at the Durant campus, a project that will expand training opportunities to meet the growing workforce needs of Bryan County and southeastern Oklahoma. This project was made possible by a $3.2 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Association, matched with local Kiamichi Tech funds, and supported through the regional planning efforts of the Southern Oklahoma Development Association. "The new programs that will be housed in this facility, Electrical Technology and Plumbing & Pipefitter Technology, will prepare nearly 60-70 students a year for a successful career," said Shelley Free, Kiamichi Tech Superintendent. "When you think about the ripple effect of that—graduates stepping into jobs, families gaining stability, businesses finding the talent they need—it’s clear that this project is going to have a lasting impact on Bryan County and the entire region." #DrivenByPurpose
