Oklahoma City has seen a major tech resurgence in recent years, and our fifth development center is proud to be a part of it. With living costs as much as 40% lower than the national average and world-class workforce development programs, it’s no wonder that Oklahoma City has attracted some of the country’s best tech talent. We talked to our OKC colleagues to learn about what life is like in the Sooner State.
Tech-focused environment
Businesses in OKC are booming, and with a supportive environment for tech workers, this comes as no surprise. Sparq colleagues have attended many opportunities for networking and professional development in the tech space including Techlahoma, Infragard, and the OWASP Foundation. Our Development Center has also hosted State government officials, arts council members, and Oklahoma City Public Schools students.
Taking in the sights
Living in OKC means there’s plenty of opportunities for fun with your family and your colleagues, including visiting the Myriad Gardens Crystal Bridge, Bricktown and the Canal area, and the Oklahoma City Zoo. Past events at the Center have included a chili cook-off, cereal bar, scavenger hunts, and summer family nights.
Putting clients first
Just as Oklahoma City is becoming a place where many different industries are thriving, our OKC Development Center keeps growing with diverse and talented tech professionals. As one of our colleagues puts it, clients working with our OKC Development Center receive the “Oklahoma Standard of Service”; ensuring client success is at the forefront of everything they do.
