EDUCATIONAL PARTNER
OSU-OKC has joined with the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber to launch the first Oklahoma branch of a nationally successful training program in cooperation with local manufacturers.
OSU-OKC provides classroom, laboratory space, equipment and instructors for the program.
Students enrolled in the OKC FAME program will come to OSU-OKC two days a week for classroom-based learning and then spend at least 24 hours a week working off-campus for a sponsoring employer. Upon completion of the two-year program, OKC FAME students will have an associate degree from OSU-OKC and certification as an advanced manufacturing technician.
OKC FAME has already partnered with manufacturers IDEX Energy - Advanced Flow Solutions, Climate Control Group, Canoo and OMADA International which will employ OSU-OKC FAME students.
“As an employer in Oklahoma over multiple decades, we understand the importance of the manufacturing talent pipeline,” said John Behrend, senior HR director for Climate Control Group. “We are thrilled to be among the first partners to introduce FAME to Oklahoma City. We are dedicated to developing this exceptional program in our community and giving people a chance to grow their skills."
