DRTC honored at DRS awards presentation

Oklahoma City’s Dale Rogers Training Center was named the Vocational Rehabilitation Gold Star award winner on Dec. 9 during the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services divisional awards ceremony at the Marriott Conference Center in Norman.

The awards ceremony honors Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and Division of Visual Services staff members and community partners who have provided exceptional service to DRS clients and the taxpayers of Oklahoma.

Dale Rogers Training Center was honored for being an active partner in DRS’s iJobs, Project Search and Work Adjustment Training programs.

“Their staff is easily accessible and responds quickly to emails and phone calls and is available on short notice for an interpreter to communicate with walk in clients,” Vocational Rehabilitation Administrator Mark Kinnison said. “They are quick to respond and willing to work together to provide trainings, which will benefit agency staff.”

Linda Sechrist, DRTC Employment Services Manager, accepted the award on behalf of her group.
