Pioneer Tech proudly announces the launch of Work Ready Ponca City, contracted by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services and spearheaded by a dedicated team from Pioneer Tech. This groundbreaking workforce development initiative aims to transform local employment opportunities for diverse populations including; low-income families, unemployed individuals, and those seeking to reenter the workforce after periods of underemployment or incarceration. Work Ready Ponca City will equip clients with essential skills, facilitating access to livable-wages, and fostering stable, healthy families through sustainable employment. Work Ready Ponca City staff will collaborate with various local agencies to maximize resources and secure both traditional and remote work positions for clients, injecting a potential additional $6 million into the local economy annually.
