New training support for Oklahoma workers

Oklahoma's Workforce Commission must run programs for high-demand or critical jobs, work-based learning, and career-focused public-school innovation. The Commission chooses which jobs qualify. Programs may include scholarship matching, grants, internships, apprenticeships, education pathways, and career-connected high schools. A new state fund accepts appropriations, donations, grants, and other money, with balances carried across budget years. Spending must support the Commission's legal duties and follow the required claims and payment process. The law sets no funding amount or individual benefit formula. The Commission also manages the existing Workforce Coordination Revolving Fund and gains authority to hire staff, contract services, and establish a nonprofit. It oversees the Governor's workforce council, including federal workforce plans, to the extent allowed by law. It serves as the state's central workforce data source and maintains public reports and a dashboard; public agencies must cooperate. It also uses a legislatively created map to guide workforce decisions and recommends program improvements to lawmakers.
