The Langston University Department of Rehabilitation Counseling and Disability Studies launched a service program called, Sembrando el Futuro or Planting the Future.

Planting the Future was created as a means by which migrant and seasonal farm workers with special needs might be able to develop skills that would lead to long-term
employment.

Specifically, Planting the Future assists its participants by connecting them to community resources essential to helping them become independent and productive employees. Through technical and financial collaborations with the Oklahoma

Department of Rehabilitation Services (ODRS) and other local agencies, the program provides participants with the skills assessments, technical assistance, job-readiness training, career counseling, job placement services, and follow-up support necessary to attain a lifestyle of self-sufficiency.

The program, which has offices on both Langston University?s Tulsa and Oklahoma City campuses, is available year-round, and provides written materials in both English and Spanish.
