Careertech Delivers More for Less

Sometimes numbers speak louder than words. And when it comes to education in Oklahoma, the numbers make a pretty strong case for CareerTech.

In fiscal 2024, Oklahoma CareerTech students earned 34,771 industry certifications. The average debt carried by a CareerTech student was just $30.85. At a time when we’re adding over $500 million in student debt in Oklahoma for postsecondary education annually, the difference in debt load can be life changing for many students and their families.

And it’s not just students who see the savings. The state of Oklahoma invested $5,938 for each CareerTech certification. By contrast, it spent $21,830 on postsecondary diplomas, seven times more than the state investment in a CareerTech certification.
