We have a special episode this week for episode 149 of The Hidden Workforce!

First, Lisa and Maggie wrap up their deep dive on the DSP shortage in Oklahoma and the unique perspectives they bring from its impact. You may hear some facts you didn’t know and different ways of looking at this conversation in this segment- you don’t want to miss it!

Then we dive in to another part of the hidden workforce, where we hear from very special guest, Mr. Stan Khrapak, leader of the InTulsa Visa Network Program. This remarkable program created by Stan through and sponsored by the George Kaiser Family Foundation is building a lasting legacy in Tulsa by bringing talented foreign nationals into the Tulsa area job market and filling major needs in the tech and STEM industries.

Stan having immigrated from Ukraine as a young boy with an impressive credentialed background knows the value this demographic serves to fill these needs- a topic we know VERY well here at The Hidden Workforce. Join us to hear more about this insightful work happening in the heart of Tulsa!
