INTERNOKC: BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN COLLEGE AND CAREER
More than just a training day, InternOKC provides young professionals a sense of place and purpose—a message that resonated deeply with Anne Hedrick, grants manager at Inasmuch Foundation. “Through InternOKC, Inasmuch Foundation’s Community Fellows learn what makes Oklahoma City a place worth investing in—both personally and professionally,” Hedrick said. “By connecting with peers, receiving mentorship from local leaders, and accessing resources that support the transition from school to career, they see why the next generation of leaders are building their lives and careers in Oklahoma City.” InternOKC offers attendees the chance to grow their professional networks, gain insight from top local executives and learn about the unique opportunities that make Oklahoma City an ideal place to launch their careers. For many, it’s not just a day of learning—it’s a career-defining experience. With registration open through June 5, businesses throughout the metro are encouraged to invest in their interns’ development by registering them for this transformative program. The registration fee is $200 per intern for Chamber members and $300 per intern for nonmembers. To register interns or learn more, visit InternOKC.

As more employers prioritize converting interns into full-time team members, preparing young talent for that transition has never been more important. InternOKC offers a one-day, high-impact experience that helps interns feel connected to their workplace and to the Oklahoma City community. Hosted by the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber, the 2025 InternOKC event will take place June 10 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Skirvin Hilton Hotel. Designed to equip interns with practical tools and soft skills critical for workplace success, the event helps bridge the often-overlooked gap between the classroom and the professional world. “InternOKC is a great gateway for our interns to forge connections throughout the city, cultivate essential skillsets for success and showcase the vibrant opportunities Oklahoma City offers,” said Stephanie Shellabarger, executive assistant and project analyst at Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores.
At the Greater OKC Chamber's InternOKC event, interns can hear from professionals across various industries share their experiences and offer inspiring advice on entering the workforce.
