Tri County Tech, one of 29 public technology centers in the Oklahoma Career and Technical Education System, serves the residents throughout the northeast Oklahoma counties of Washington, Nowata, and Osage. TCT has a vision of inspiring success through life-changing learning experiences. With a goal that no student should be denied an education due to inability to pay, TCT provides scholarships and funding for student expenses such as medication, gasoline, clothing, and food. TCT has sustained top 25% nationally rankings for student completion/retention and placement for eight fiscal years. The institution also increased graduate wages to well above the national average while growing its own revenues 34 percent since 2009–without federal funding and despite a sizable reduction in state funding. This past year, we served 648 full-time students. We also provide customized business and industry training programs, community education classes, event and meeting services.
