Okla. Admin. Code § 780:25-5-1 - New or expanding industries
(a)
Programs and services.
Training for Industry Programs (TIP) has the responsibility of working with the
appropriate delivery agency to provide new job slot training for new or
expanding business and industry. This training is provided to targeted business
and industry in selected manufacturing, processing, and national or regional
offices of business and industry that are creating new employment opportunities
or others that have significant economic impact on Oklahoma's economy. These
companies are traditionally considered exporters of goods and/or services and
importers of capital.
(b)
Development of training agreements.
(1)
Statement of Understanding.
A "Statement of Understanding" shall define the specific responsibilities of
each party involved in a training program, including the company, the
community, the technology center, and the appropriate Department
staff.
(2)
Training
agreements. Training agreements will be developed jointly, using a
training needs analysis, by company representatives, local technology center
personnel, and Department staff.
(3)
Changes. Any changes in
training agreements will be subject to approval by Department staff.
(c)
Availability of
funds. State support for TIP training is based upon the availability of
funds and administered by Department staff in accordance with TIP guidelines

local technology center or the Department (either from the Equipment Pool
inventory or transferred from another technology center). In the case of highly

equipment to Training for Industry Programs for the purposes of training. The
local education authority (LEA) is responsible for routine and preventative
maintenance on all state owned equipment, used in training. The LEA will be
responsible for replacing equipment that is salvaged due to lack of
maintenance, abuse of equipment, or natural disaster. The LEA is responsible
for replacing equipment that is lost or stolen.
(e)
Utilities. In programs
operated in a technology center, costs of the utilities will be borne by the
technology center. Costs of utilities for a program operated in a company's

of a temporary facility, utility (water, gas, electricity, local phone
service-allowable long distance) expenses will be a coordinated effort of the
community and Department staff.

aids, such as technical manuals, DVD's and power point presentations will be
developed for training programs when determined by the needs analysis, and only
when the lead time schedule allows for the completion in time to be used during
the training defined by the Statement of Understanding. Training aids will be
developed at the expense of Training for Industry Programs in cooperation with
the company.
