Closing the Talent Gap in Oklahoma’s Energy Industry
During this hour-and-a-half panel discussion at 2 p.m. Oct. 21, experts representing multiple sectors in the energy industry will discuss the need for qualified professionals and the benefits of a new CareerTech program designed to fill this gap in Oklahoma’s workforce. Together, the Oklahoma Energy Workforce Consortium and Oklahoma CareerTech have developed a new Career Cluster on energy, designed to provide students practical training in a wide range of career paths in the energy industry. Expecting a severe shortage of skilled workers by 2025, Oklahoma’s energy industry is searching for qualified technicians, engineers, line workers, managers, truck drivers, mechanics, and other energy-related professions. Join us Oct. 21 for this eye-opening discussion.
Speakers for our ENERGY Panel include:
Molly Peters - Director of Workforce Planning and Development, Oklahoma Gas & Electric
Andrea Simmons - Administrator of Human Resources, Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority
Stacy Howeth - Director of Member Services, Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives
