As an incoming business to the FISTA, your team will have no shortage resources and talent necessary to the growth of your team. Our city contains a truly untapped pool of talented men and women who are continually developing unique skills from grade school through college.
Our LPS school system is relentlessly dedicated to the advancement of our students, and our district is a certified STEM community. Each of our major high schools are designated NMSI schools, and our local university offers an NMSI degree to further develop these students. Our FISTA team has partnered with our local AIM (apprenticeship, internship, mentorship) program to help these students cultivate and hone their unique talents in preparation for a career in the STEM fields.
When you make the move to Lawton, you can rest assured that not only will your company have a talented and viable workforce; but your own children will be part of an excellently educated community.
