STEAM Funding Initiatives
The OKC Innovation District is building a ‘first-of-its-kind’ internship program in NE Oklahoma City. The comprehensive internship program will provide opportunities for high school and undergraduate students from the NE OKC community to access career experiences in the Innovation District.
Alongside work experience, students will also have an opportunity to network with other interns and industry professionals, engage in professional development and obtain certificates to enhance their resume.
