A changing economy, one with increased focus and reliance on technology and data, requires a re-think in how the next generation is educated.
Whether it’s high school students, or adults navigating their way into the modern workforce, the “tried and true” way of doing things won’t cut it when the job expectations keep changing. Workforce training and career education must keep up with that change.
“The best way to predict the future is to create it,” Francis Tuttle Associate Superintendent Dr. Jaared Scott said.
That is essentially the goal behind Francis Tuttle’s new Danforth Campus, located at 3841 E. Danforth Road in Edmond. When it opens for classes in August of this year, the students, faculty, adult learners, and, virtually, anyone with an idea will be surrounded by spaces and resources they need to fulfill their entrepreneurial dreams.
