Corporate and career development

Dear valued Southern Tech Partner,

Due to the state and national Declarations of Emergency announced by Governor Stitt and President Trump in the last few days, the OK State Department of Education announced yesterday (3/16) that all K-12 schools throughout Oklahoma will be under mandatory closure from March 17-April 6. This announcement also has a direct impact on the operations and services provided by CareerTech centers, including Southern Tech.

We deeply value your partnership and understand the stress your are feeling at this very difficult and unprecedented time in our nation’s history, but unfortunately the Corporate and Career Development team must immediately halt services as well. This includes all business and industry training events on and off campus, adult short-term classes, conference center meetings, catering events, and small business services.

We have every intent to continue providing the quality training services that you expect from us on April 6, however because of the fluid nature of the COVID-19 virus, we will constantly be monitoring the situation and will follow the direction given by local, state, and federal officials.

Thank you for your continued partnership, and again I apologize for the burden this places on your organization.

Respectfully,
Jason Phipps
