​WORKFORCE

Northeast Oklahoma has a highly skilled, work-ready talent pipeline in place to sustain and grow business opportunities.

The Northeast Oklahoma Regional Alliance recognizes the value of a connected, strong, and skilled workforce to ensure growth and sustainability. We strive to connect the region and provide resources that ensure businesses have the talent needed to create wealth. We do this because workforce knows no boundaries or region. 

Our 14-county region boasts a population of more than 600,000, with a workforce that has a strong heritage in a broad range of industries.

​We are constantly working to ensure that employers have a steady supply of high-quality employees, too. In addition to worker development programs in our area's K-12 schools, Northeast Oklahoma is served by a variety of higher education institutions that are focused on everything from vocational training to postgraduate options. We have a strong network of regional universities and career technology centers that provide programs in areas that are in high demand by employers, such as business, technology, manufacturing, healthcare, and hospitality.

In addition to programming, NORA supports policy improvements and advocates for education and workforce development.
