Improve Performance Quality & Get World-Class Results

Tri County Tech, one of 29 public technology centers in the Oklahoma Career and Technical Education System, serves the residents of three counties and has a vision of inspiring success through life-changing learning experiences. Tri County Tech provides scholarships and funding for student expenses such as medication, gasoline, clothing, and food with a goal that no student should be denied an education due to the inability to pay. TCT has sustained national top quartile rankings for student completion/retention and placement for eight fiscal years. The institution also increased graduate wages above the national average while growing its own revenues 34 percent since 2009–without federal funding and despite a sizable reduction in state funding.

“This achievement has inspired Tri County Tech to help other organizations become great places to work and achieve world-class results.”
