ERDA’S Intern Housing Program is designed to help employers attract top student talent while creating meaningful connections between interns and the community.

By removing one of the biggest barriers to internships — housing — ERDA makes it easier for companies to recruit, host, and retain future workforce talent.

support for local employers

ERDA partners with local employers to provide accessible, turnkey housing solutions for interns. ERDA member companies receive complimentary intern housing and non-member companies can participate for a fee.

This flexible model ensures businesses of all sizes can take advantage of internship programs without the logistical challenges of housing coordination.

Engaging the Next generation workforce

Beyond housing, ERDA enhances the intern experience by organizing opportunities for connection and engagement throughout the summer.

  • Networking events with local professionals
  • Community tours and experiences
  • Social gatherings that build connections and belonging

These experiences help interns not only gain career skills – but also see  Enid as a place they can build their future.
