Workforce training; requiring the Oklahoma Workforce Commission to develop workforce training for educators. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 778 requires the Oklahoma Workforce Commission to create annual online training for all Oklahoma teachers and administrators by August 2026. The training, limited to one hour, must cover key Oklahoma industries, workforce shortages, and updated yearly to reflect current job market needs. Teachers must complete this training annually starting May 2027, with the State Department of Education posting it on its professional learning platform by October 2026. The bill directly affects all K-12 educators in Oklahoma, aiming to align classroom instruction with state workforce demands.
