Provalus Announces Expansion of Meridian Program
February 25, 2026

Today, Provalus is pleased to announce the expansion of our Meridian Program to include three new partners: North Arkansas College, Arkansas State University, and Louisiana Tech University.


Joining existing Meridian partners, Stephen F. Austin State University (Nacogdoches, TX) and Northeastern State University (Tahlequah, OK), these new institutions will allow Provalus to expand a thriving internship program in three new communities, furthering our mission of workforce development and economic impact in rural America.


Meridian Program participants will have access to internship opportunities that allow them to work alongside industry experts, gaining real-world experience and practical skills while still in school. This creates a direct pathway into technology careers, including many within our organization, upon graduation.


“Our new partnerships with North Arkansas College, Arkansas State University, and Louisiana Tech all share a common purpose: creating local career pathways that allow talented students to build meaningful technology careers close to home,” says Paul Gault, Senior Director of the Meridian Program. “Each school brings unique strengths—whether it’s cloud and cybersecurity programs, deep regional roots, or established cyber curricula—and together they help us drive workforce development, economic impact, and long-term opportunity across Arkansas and Louisiana.”

There's a word that gets thrown around a lot in the outsourcing industry: efficiency. Faster. Cheaper. Scaled. These are the metrics that dominate the conversation, and for good reason. Results matter. But somewhere along the way, a critical question got left behind. At what cost, and to whom? Provalus was built on a different premise. The best business outcomes and the most meaningful community impact are not in tension; They are, in fact, the same thing. Invest in people, places, and communities that surround them, and you don't sacrifice performance. You amplify it. That's what it means to be Anchored in America .
