Tri County Technology Center is dedicated to inspiring success through life-changing learning experiences. From innovative career majors in biotechnology and aerospace engineering to pioneering training initiatives in health care, TCTC prepares students for both college and careers.

Named as one of Oklahoma’s Best Places to Work for a second year, TCTC is committed to serving its employees, as well as it students.

Through its educational assistance plan, tuition reimbursements led to three employees completing a bachelor’s degree and one completing a master’s degree this year.

At Tri County, students are trained to provide top-notch services and, therefore, employees enjoy such benefits as child care, manicures, pedicures, haircuts, dental cleanings, meals and auto repair and services – all at a discounted price.

In FY11, employees were offered a new perk: laundry service. A business picks up employee laundry, and delivers the clothes back in a couple of days.

Employees also receive up to eight hours of paid time off to volunteer.

The Tri County nursing staff began a monthly health clinic, where staff members are able to get assessments including BMI, blood pressure screenings, and weight and hydration level, all right on campus.

Transparency is a value of TCTC, as open communication within the organization boosts morale. Whether in personal interviews with the superintendent, or through one of the regular surveys in which employees can respond anonymously, input is valued.
