Cherokee Nation Putting Citizens Back to Work in Rogers County
June 09, 2011

CATOOSA, Okla. — The Cherokee Nation is busy getting its unemployed citizens in the Rogers County area back to work at places like the tribe’s Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa. It’s all part of Cherokee Nation’s ongoing efforts to enhance the prosperity and long-term success of tribal citizens.

Through a new Rogers County component of the successful Cherokee Nation Day Training Program, qualified participants are able to learn marketable job skills that may lead to permanent employment as custodians, culinary artists, golf course groundskeepers and gaming technicians at the Nation’s largest resort.

The Day Training Program provides unemployed Cherokee Nation citizens with temporary employment along with practical training at tribal facilities including the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa, a daily stipend of up to $50 and the opportunity to showcase their skills for potential employers. Program officials say that people who thought they might not qualify to work in Cherokee Nation’s casinos are often more eligible than they think and the Day Training Program can help pave the way.

“I would encourage Cherokee Nation citizens to participate if they’re interested in Hard Rock employment,” said Andy Dreadfulwater, an employment and training specialist for the Cherokee Nation.

To qualify for Day Training Program work at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa, participants must be a Cherokee Nation citizen at least 21 years old and a resident of any of the 14 counties in which the Nation has jurisdiction. Participants must also pass a criminal background check, cannot have another source of income and cannot be enrolled simultaneously in any other training programs.

Cherokee Nation offers the Day Training Program and several other career development options to Cherokee citizens, encouraging them to develop a long-term career and financial stability. With a workforce of more than 8,500 and the creation of more than 5,000 jobs within the past decade, the Cherokee Nation is one of the largest employers in Oklahoma, and continues to strive to create opportunities for its citizens.

For more information about the Cherokee Nation Day Training program in Rogers County, call Andy Dreadfulwater or Mary Dunlap at 918-342-7450. To find out more about Day Training Program options throughout the Cherokee Nation, call 918-453-5555 or send a message to careerservices@cherokee.org.
