OAI,Inc

Headquartered in downtown Chicago, and operating programs nationwide, OAI, Inc. is a non-profit training and education agency founded in 1976 by Tipawan T-Q Reed. Formerly the Office of Applied Innovations, we were affiliated with Northern Illinois and DePaul Universities, until we changed our name to OAI in 2001 when we became an independent 501c(3). Using the letters of our former name, we developed the tagline of Opportunity, Advancement and Innovation in Workforce Development to reflect the goals of our work.
