My internship with GE was amazing. Not only have I excelled in my professional career, I also grew as a person. I couldn't have asked for a better job placement. GE helped me develop lifetime friends, references, and comfort in knowing I can to do anything I put my mind to!

This program may benefit you or how this trip will help you in the future, I can honestly say it will benefit you in ways you couldn't imagine. Even if, like me, you come here thinking that this will just benefit your CV for when you get home, you honestly do not know the doors that this program can open.
