Department of Commerce Grant to OSU-OKC will Establish Business Service Team

Friday, September 8, 2006

OSU-OKC has received a three-year, $300,000 per year, Department of Commerce Federal Work Force Investment Act grant. The grant will establish a Business Service Team – a group of local people representing education, employment and economic development entities working together to provide a comprehensive business solution within a local area.
 
BSTs provide a single point of access for business and can broker team member services to ensure a one-stop approach to business needs. This is an OSU-OKC/Central Oklahoma Workforce Investment Board partnership in cooperation with the Oklahoma Employment Securities Commission. Dr. Mac McCrory, OSU-OKC vice president of Business and Industry, coordinates this project.
