Oklahoma Greenovation Project

Oklahomas H1-B Technical Skills Training grant program Oklahoma Greenovationoffers greencentric certifications (such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or LEED) and on-the-job training (OJT) opportunities designed to transform workforce development in the energy-efficiency services (EES), construction, and related industry sectors.

Grantee Spotlight
Participants enter career pathways within these sectors beyond entry level through a variety of OJT opportunities that offer real-world experience and educational attainment required for success and further advancement. Through the Oklahoma Greenovation project, Clint Condren, a graduate of OSU-ITs technical design program, was given an OJT opportunity with Tulsa construction design firm Sisemore, Weiz & Associates. The firm specializes in using 3D models to reduce the amount of construction materials used onsite. Although Clint was an ex-offender, Sisemore agreed to give him the opportunity based on the strong reputation of OSU-ITs technical design program. Clint completed training and now works for Sisemore as a fulltime employee.
