Google has announced a $5 million investment to equip Oklahoma’s students and workforce with critical AI and job-ready skills, supporting the state’s vision to lead in the era of artificial intelligence. The funding will benefit key local organizations including the Thunder Community Foundation, Oklahoma State University Foundation, the Center for Employment Opportunities, Atlas School, and the Tulsa STEM Alliance.
This initiative aims to expand access to AI education, foster career development, and boost economic mobility across the state. By empowering these organizations, Google seeks to create a sustainable talent pipeline that nurtures homegrown innovators and prepares Oklahomans for the rapidly evolving digital economy.
The announcement builds on Google’s long-term commitment to Oklahoma, where it continues to invest in technology infrastructure, digital training, and community partnerships. During a panel discussion featuring representatives from Google, the Oklahoma City Thunder, Oklahoma State University, and the City of Oklahoma City, leaders discussed the transformative role of AI in shaping education, industry, and economic opportunity. Through this investment, Google aims to ensure that Oklahoma is not only ready for the AI-driven future but also positioned to lead innovation and growth in the new digital era.
