Consider a Co-op!

Mon, 23 Sep 2013 15:00:59 -0400

GE Appliances based in Louisville, KY and GE Aviation based in Cincinnati, OH (co-op housing provided at both locations) are seeking talented UMBC students to join their staff through co-ops.

Why co-op?

Co-ops are a special type of internship where you would alternate full-time work and study with one company for at least 2 full semesters of work. So for example, you would work full-time with GE for a salary during Spring 2014. Fall 2014 you could come back to UMBC to take classes and then Spring 2015 return to your employer. Or you could return for Summer 2015 to fulfill your commitment.

In addition to the salary and terrific experience, the best thing about co-ops is that they are often the pool of students where companies recruit for their full-time, post-graduate leadership programs. So, if you're interested in getting a foot in the door with one of the country's top companies, a co-op is a great way to do it!

If you have additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Be sure to submit your resume via UMBCworks as soon as possible to be considered for an interview. Search for keywords "GE Appliances" or "GE Aviation." Positions are closing on Tuesday, September 24.

Freshmen are welcome to apply, however, you must email your resume directly to Kerry Kidwell-Slak at kerryk@umbc.edu. Please note GE Aviation or GE Appliances in the Subject line.

These GE divisions as well as several others will also be on campus for a Corporate Visibility Day on October 2 in the UC Ballroom. Be sure to mark your calendars to attend this important event!
