InternOKC, a program created by the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber to recruit and retain young talent in Oklahoma City, is less than two weeks away, so there is still time for employers to sign up their interns for this dynamic, annual event. The program provides soft skills enhancement and professional development opportunities to the region’s young professionals.

Students attending InternOKC will have an opportunity to receive sage advice and training from a lineup of accomplished business professionals. InternOKC will help them discover the benefits of living and working in Greater Oklahoma City, while fostering peer networking and providing resources to help them transition from college student to young professional.
All sessions will be held from 2 to 5 p.m., every other week and at three different venues in or near downtown Oklahoma City. (Programming listed below is subject to change.)
