B ecki Foster has dedicated her career to helping students and businesses achieve their professional and industry goals. With 30 years in education — mostly spent in career and technology training — Foster has seen firsthand the unlimited value and long-term impact of Oklahoma’s CareerTech system. As assistant superintendent of Mid-Del Technology Center in Midwest City , she is committed to supporting Oklahoma through high-quality vocational training and workforce development. “Our CareerTech system is one of the best in the nation, and Mid- Del Tech is one of its best-kept secrets,” said Foster. “We are a key workforce development driver, offering full-time programs, short- term skill-building courses and customized industry training.” Mid-Del Tech’s main campus offers full-time programs to adults and career and technology education (CTE) classes to students within the Mid-Del School System. Programs span diverse industries including automotive, aviation, cybersecurity, health, masonry, cosmetology and more. “We have excellent HVAC and plumbing programs and recently added an Industrial Technology program,” said Foster. “We are always working to upgrade and maintain our facilities and equipment to reflect current industry standards. What our students train on here is what they’ll use in the workplace.” This real-world focus is reinforced by Mid-Del Tech’s instructors, who bring direct industry experience to their classrooms.
“Their hands-on knowledge and workplace insights are a great benefit to our students — further preparing them for success,” Foster noted. Beyond its main campus, Mid-Del Tech extends its reach through customized industry training at its Del City location and specialized leadership training at Tinker Air Force Base, serving both military and civilian personnel. “What’s amazing about our CareerTech system is that we can turn on a dime to meet training needs within our communities,” added Foster. “Through strong industry partnerships, we create customized programs whenever companies need workers with specific skillsets.” Foster believes that this agility, combined with educational expertise, makes Mid-Del Tech a vital community resource. “We are here to support our students’ career goals and help build a skilled and diversified workforce,” said Foster. “Whether students enter the workforce immediately or continue to college, we provide a solid foundation for whatever their future holds.”
