U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said he was impressed by what he's seen of Oklahoma's CareerTech system after visiting with students and teachers at Francis Tuttle Technology Center.

Cardona toured several classrooms at the school's Rockwell Campus information technology building and met with students learning broadcast and video production, coding and 3-D animation. He later held a roundtable meeting with more students who were studying at Francis Tuttle hoping to become a computer scientist, an early childhood education teacher or a doctor.

"What I saw here today was something that I want to lift up, because you're doing it right here in Oklahoma," Cardona said.

CareerTech is a statewide network of schools where high school and adult students get a hands-on education that bridges the gap to college or the workforce.
