Workforce Value Proposition

MidAmerica’s value proposition is simple: The workforce of tomorrow, performance-ready today, through strategic skills acquisition, powerful demographics and regional synergies.

Comprehensive training ecosystem: Tenant-centered design and development

MidAmerica’s robust talent pipeline is guided by strategic vision and powered by targeted investment and by the inputs, services and expertise of leading partnerships and affiliations.

MidAmerica has acted as a system convener, bringing together knowledgeable collaborators from education, industry, community and economic development to create a comprehensive and aligned training ecosystem offering future-proof performance and one-stop tenant ease: A single point of contact opens fully customized workforce access and resources from state, tribal and corporate agencies. We’ve made team building at MidAmerica rewarding in every way.

Compelling demographics: A labor force of optimal age, actively engaged and motivated.

The data tells the story of a powerfully competitive workforce, starting with solid projected population growth, high labor participation rates and a median worker age of 36. And MidAmerica is not just right-to-work, our labor force is ready to work: Unionization rates are low; wages are moderate relative to comparable communities. And while labor patterns show the Park’s strong commuting pull in excess of 40 miles, an existing outflow of workers reveals immediate and prime opportunity for new tenant employers.

Skills: Experience that meets the moment, a pipeline that assures the future.

MidAmerica’s workforce momentum is also supported by an existing labor force that offers size and seasoned skills, including 20,000 production workers employed within the labor shed—a concentration twice the national average—and 30,000 manufacturing workers across occupations. The labor shed also offers strategic concentrations of engineers as well as both blue- and white-collar logistics workers, with strong completion numbers for precision production/metal working and engineering technician training.

Regional synergy: An area of dynamic growth and diversity.

At MidAmerica, your team is positioned to reap the knowledge and talent synergies of 80 innovative tenant companies including five Fortune 500 companies. MidAmerica is home to Google’s second largest data center and the upcoming home to an EV manufacturing mega micro-factory. The Park also sits at the heart of a regional economy booming across sectors, a center of attraction for domestic and global investment. Long acknowledged as a global energy capital, Northeast Oklahoma is also a global leader in aerospace innovation and an emerging powerhouse for automotive manufacturing, advanced manufacturing, logistics and professional services.
