StrataTech Education Group launched StrataSkills Industry Solutions (StrataSkills) as a workforce development and retention solution for electrician, welder, and HVAC/R employers nationwide.

“Reskilling and upskilling are critical to business growth. Employers recognize they have to keep their workforce highly skilled to meet the increasing demands of their customers and ever-evolving technological advancements”, said Mary Kelly, President and CEO of StrataTech Education Group. “Investing in people and utilizing programs like StrataSkills to train and develop workers will not only allow employees to keep current with technology, but also allow businesses to remain competitive in the global marketplace.”

Designed with insight from industry professionals, StrataSkills aims to solve four key challenges employers face in the skilled trades: helping to recruit qualified, trained, and motivated talent; ensuring new employees are ready to work on an accelerated time frame with a range of short-term courses, classes, seminars, and resources; provide reskilling solutions; and helping companies retain core employees by offering ongoing professional development.

In late 2021, StrataTech launched OcuWeld, a virtual reality welding simulator that allows students to learn and practice welding outside the classroom using Oculus Quest 2 technology. OcuWeld is offered as one of the new training resources available through StrataSkills.

“The best tradespeople in the industry know they should never stop learning,” Mary Kelly added. “Lifelong learning requires a continual evolution of technical skills and training and that’s why we advocate for businesses to utilize StrataSkills to recruit, train, retrain, and retain skilled trades employees.”

As of February 2022, StrataSkills training courses are available online and in-person at StrataTech’s four campuses: Tulsa Welding School in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Tulsa Welding School in Jacksonville, Florida; Tulsa Welding School & Technology Center in Houston, Texas; and The Refrigeration School, Inc. in Phoenix, Arizona.
