Tulsa Tech's vision "to develop a world-class workforce" for our community not only shapes our education and training programs, but also inspires the many services we provide in the Tulsa area. We're proud to serve the Tulsa area with community services as we work to carry out our mission "to prepare people for success in the workplace."
We believe Oklahoma's and Tulsa County's economic future will largely depend on the ability of Tulsa Tech to provide training for existing business and industry enabling them to grow in the marketplace. Tulsa Tech's mission is to respond to these needs by designing customized industry traiing programs.

The ESL Program strives to meet the needs of local industry, by offering language instruction to Tulsa area businesses in both Spanish and English. The ESL program serves a diverse community whether the native language is Russian, German, Hmong, Korean, Spanish, Chinese, or other.
Our professional staff meets with individual business owners to plan for classes, whether at the client's place of business or at the Business and Industry Training Center, and works out details to meet the client's unique language needs.
