GBK Partnership, LLC
The GBK Partnership, LLC was founded in 1993 by three faculty members of University of Oklahoma initially to provide training and technology services through the University`s Institute for Environmental Management. Since then, driven by leaders with bold vision and a strong entrepreneurial spirit, the company has completed over 450 federal contracts, and provided its services in 16 countries. Even with our extensive project history, GBK remains a privately-owned, small business. Our core values, not necessarily growth, drive our strategic planning: transparency in decision-making, personal responsibility and accountability, and leadership by example. GBK supports organizations around the world in conforming to prevailing international standards by providing gap analysis, implementation planning, impacts analysis and significance testing, cross-functional-team (CFT) coaching, training, and auditing.

Increase in HAZWOPER Training Demand
After an apparent lull in demand GBK is being approached by a number of organizations to provide HAZWOPER training. We have recently completed a HAZWOPER training event for the VA Hospital in Oklahoma City, and are scheduled for a number of refresher trainings to recert on a number of 40hr certifications. GBK plans to hold a promoted HAZWOPER training class in the first half of next year in the Oklahoma City area.
