improvement project at their agency, under the guidance of the instructor. By
the end of the training, participants not only have enhanced green job skills
and a certificate from OU, but they have also made measurable improvements in
their business. This program is funded as part of the Oklahoma Department of
Commerce’s “Oklahoma Green Project,” making it free to
participating agencies, and is applicable to agencies from all fields. There
will be at least one training location set up in the State Capitol Complex for
interested agencies. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
