Tulsa is spending real effort on a problem many growing regions share: finding and developing skilled workers. The Tulsa Regional Chamber has been building a talent pipeline for high-demand fields including engineering, accounting and industrial machinery maintenance. Tulsa Tech is also helping employers design CareerTech apprenticeships around the skills they actually need.

FEMA announced today the approval of more than $162.8 million in post-disaster funding for Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program projects in Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.

Trump is keeping his promise to reform federal disaster support and ensure that taxpayer money is spent only on projects that deliver safety and security to the American people.
