For Our Families

Innovation Starts at Home

The FISTA is proud to be more than a workplace—it’s part of the fabric of Lawton-Fort Sill. Our programs, partnerships, and events are designed with families and the future in mind.

STEM, Skills & Success

A Home for Dreamers and Doers

Lawton-Fort Sill is growing—and we’re growing with it. From internships that lead to careers, to meetups that spark mentorships, we’re cultivating the next generation of builders, thinkers, and leaders right here in Southwest Oklahoma.

Because innovation doesn’t just happen in big cities—it happens in strong communities.
