InternOKC returns for summer 2021 with an all-new virtual format

InternOKC, the Chamber’s popular professional development and networking series of events for summer interns, is returning in the summer of 2021 with an all-new virtual format. The six-session series will take place weekly from June 16 to July 28.

Participants will learn valuable tools to help the transition from college student to young professional and create relationships that can help launch their career. Sessions will include programming from industry trainers with topics that cover personal behavior and habits, building relationships and networking, and developing a mindset that fosters problem solving. New this year, the InternOKC experience will include a micro-badge credential that interns will receive only after attending all sessions.

“Enrolling your interns in InternOKC is an investment in your future workforce and the future of Oklahoma City,” said Lee Copeland, director of talent and business growth for the Chamber. “Our programming will introduce our region’s brightest college students to Oklahoma City as a great place to start their careers and build their lives, and the virtual format allows a level of engagement for employers that we haven’t been able to offer before.”

Registration fee per intern is $125 for Chamber member companies or $200 for nonmembers.
