Tulsa Technology Center

Tulsa Technology Center stands as a pivotal institution within Oklahoma's renowned CareerTech System, offering robust vocational education designed to equip students with practical skills for immediate career success. As a vital component of a statewide initiative, Tulsa Tech connects students directly to the workforce, building on a legacy stretching back over a century of commitment to technical training.

The roots of this impactful educational model trace back to the Smith-Hughes Act of 1917, a landmark federal initiative that first provided funding for vocational education across the nation. Oklahoma quickly embraced this vision, establishing its Division of Vocational Education in 1929. This foundational work paved the way for the formation of technology center school districts, including Tulsa Technology Center, which began shaping the state's skilled workforce starting in 1966.

Today, students at Tulsa Technology Center benefit from this enduring commitment to career readiness. Being part of a system that evolved from its early days to become the Department of Career and Technology Education in 2000, Tulsa Tech continues to innovate, providing targeted programs that respond to industry needs. This ensures graduates are not just educated, but highly employable, ready to contribute meaningfully to their communities and chosen professions.
