The program’s momentum is already building, with a second cohort currently underway and planning in progress for a third group of students to begin the program in the near future. “Success for OKC FAME means growth ... more employer partners, stronger connections with K-12 and post-secondary programs, and continued expansion of FAME cohorts” - Lee Copeland
“Ultimately, success for OKC FAME means growth,” Copeland said. “That includes more employer partners, stronger connections with K-12 and post-secondary programs, and continued expansion of FAME cohorts that can help fill critical advanced manufacturing roles across the region.” The graduation of the first cohort represents more than just a milestone for the students involved. It signals that a new approach to workforce development is taking hold in Oklahoma City, one that is collaborative, employer-driven and focused on long-term outcomes. As additional cohorts move through OKC FAME, the program is expected to continue expanding, strengthening the region’s workforce and supporting future economic growth. Employers interested in helping shape the next generation of talent can get involved as sponsoring partners, providing hands-on training opportunities while building a pipeline of skilled workers tailored to their needs.
