Oklahoma Project SEARCH
Team Spotlight: The Metro Technology Center program was originally launched in 2011 in partnership with Chesapeake Energy. After a brief hiatus in 2020, the program reopened in August 2022 with Wyndham Grand Downtown Oklahoma City as the primary host business partner.
What makes this program unique is its ability to collaborate with multiple downtown businesses to provide diverse internship opportunities. Current primary partners include Wyndham Grand Oklahoma City Downtown, Metro Technology Center, the Department of Rehabilitation Services, DRTC, and the University of Oklahoma National Center for Disability Education and Training.
The program is led by Instructor Kennell Winrow and Work Skills Trainers Lilie Ruth Bell and Shanee Wilson. This team has demonstrated innovation and flexibility, driving continued success. Metro Technology Center remains committed to supporting individuals with disabilities and serving their communities.
