Oklahoma receives national attention for high quality early childhood education thanks to George Kaiser

Through its strategic plan and working with community partners, the Chamber is committed to identifying strategies for moving Tulsans up the education pipeline and increasing the number of citizens with a college degree. The ability of higher education to provide industry and company-specific training is a huge selling point, and absolutely fundamental, to the Chamber’s economic development staff when recruiting new businesses.

It is imperative Tulsa has a solid talent and workforce strategy in place that is the foundation of our economic development plan.

These efforts are strengthened by the tremendous support of Tulsa’s corporate and philanthropic citizens. CBS News recently profiled Tulsa’s success in early childhood education, and the man behind much of that success, George Kaiser. To view the two-part interview, please follow the links below.
