InternOKC will benefit interns, businesses

Students attending the Chamber’s summer internship program, InternOKC, will have an opportunity to receive sage advice and training from a lineup of accomplished business professionals.

Started in 2006, InternOKC is a way for students to discover the benefits of living and working in Greater Oklahoma City, while fostering peer networking and providing resources to help interns transition from college student to young professional.

The overall core competencies that are driving the session content for this summer’s InternOKC came out of the Chamber’s engagement with Oklahoma City employers to identify common gaps and needs they could target.
