Idea to send:	Topic Use Empty Manufacturing Facilities As Manufacturing Schools Content There are many closed-down real estate and manufacturing facilities around the region. What if the Oklahoma Department of Education developed a technical training facility in each of these abandoned sites, in the process establishing manufacturing skills for future workers of Oklahoma and America? Organizers could offer training at a reduced rate (compared with Vo-Techs) by marketing the manufacturing resources to companies all over the U.S. Potential buyers and customers would be able to have the components made at a reduced rate, thus keeping jobs in Oklahoma. It would help strengthen skills in the workforce (particularly manufacturing) that are slowly fading away.
