Oklahoma is facing a workforce crisis. We know that a skilled and stable workforce is critical to economic development. Right now, our state is working to grow pipelines between K-12, career and technology education, and higher educational institutions in collaborative and responsive ways.
Stephanie has been a staunch supporter of education initiatives from K-12 through college and career opportunities, including supporting Oklahoma's Promise and finding innovative ways to recruit new teachers.
Oklahomans need post-secondary credentials to prosper in today's competitive and technology-driven economy, whether through our colleges and universities or career techs. Stephanie will continue to advocate for education at the federal level, supporting funding for vocational schools and training programs to expand access and career options for our children.
