Kacie Cardenas has always been good at numbers. It’s a big reason she landed her current position as director of operations and finance at Box Real Estate & Investments. But the lessons she learned at InternOKC were also part of the equation. Cardenas attended the Chamber’s annual event in 2016, the same year she graduated from Oklahoma State University with a degree in finance.
Cardenas said the relationships she built at InternOKC helped lead her to her current employer.
“InternOKC gave me the extra boost of confidence necessary to transition from a student to working professional. It helped me build important skills and connections that have been invaluable to my career growth. I am grateful for the opportunity to have had such a meaningful experience in learning and appreciating why Oklahoma City is the best place to live, work, and play,” Cardenas said.
InternOKC is designed to provide soft skills enhancement and professional development for interns working in Oklahoma City this summer. If you are a business with dozens of summer interns or just one, being a part of InternOKC is also an investment in your future workforce and the future of Oklahoma City.
