Large numbers of minority, low wage, food service and transportation, oil field and public sector workers have lost jobs or forced to lower income. The film and commercial industry is growing in Oklahoma and all of these fields have parallels in the industry. We partner with non-profits to train e.g. Oklahoma Works and DIMOK.
