AI Summary
This bill requires the Oklahoma Workforce Commission to develop an annual workforce and industry training program for teachers and administrators, designed to improve their understanding of the state's key industries and workforce needs. The training, which will be no longer than one hour, will be delivered via an online video format on the State Department of Education's professional learning platform and must be updated annually to reflect current industry trends. All teachers will be required to complete this training annually starting May 1, 2027, with the initial training to be developed by August 1, 2026. The primary purpose of the training is to ensure that educators are knowledgeable about Oklahoma's workforce conditions and can better prepare students for career pathways upon graduation. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2025, and is being implemented with an emergency clause to emphasize its immediate importance to public education and workforce development.
