Major companies choose to relocate to Siloam Springs and Northwest Arkansas because of the pro-business attitude of the leadership, a quality workforce, and the successful nature of existing businesses who have located on available properties near Walmart’s corporate headquarters in nearby Bentonville and in various business parks in Northwest Arkansas.

Siloam Springs’ employers have the benefit of being in a central location in the U.S., among a critical mass of business, with world-class talent including a large concentration of white-collar workers. This talent pool is fed by programs in engineering, nursing, business and marketing, and many other concentrations at John Brown University, which is located in Siloam Springs. The Career Academy of Siloam Springs (CASS) also contributes to the quality workforce with students who graduate with the skills necessary for entry-level positions in hydraulics, pneumatics, welding, industrial electronics, HVAC maintenance and operation, and soon, health sciences and food sciences.
