My name is Thomas Bruner; I have been doing seasonal farm work all my adult life, working with many farmers just to earn enough money to pay my bills, allowing no time for myself, family, and friends. Thanks to ORO Development Corporation my farm labor employment has been recognized. I have completed the course in Welding while attending ICTC (Indian Capital Technology Center) in Tahlequah, OK. While enrolled in school I entered a Welding contest and did well therefore I have received a letter fromn Representative Bronw From The Oklahoma House of Representatives saying, "I've been reading about you in the news..." and "Congratulations" on your success. keep up the good work!" I received a letter from Governor Brad Henry, from the State of Oklahoma congratulating me on the achievement of completing a Career Readiness CVertificate where I obtained a Bronze Certificate due to the successful completion of Work Keys Assessments in the areas of Applied Mathematics, Locationg Information, and Reading for Information. I am ready to put my skills to use and earn some good money so I can pay my bills and spend time with my family! Thank you ORO!
