For July 16th
For me, I have had a lot of success setting up ideas for products. I am hoping to set up a volunteer network for my school’s engineering programs with GE, Corning, Four County Electric and retired engineers, machinists and non engineering volunteers. I also have a series of lesson plans I would like to develop from machining in my engineering class, to environmental health and safety covering shop safety and hearing safety, and ergonomics. Additionally, I would like to set up a regular field trip for our kids and work to get an internship for CTE kids at GE Aviation in the offices.
The challenge is going to be in getting all the volunteers recruited, background check through the 3 different organizations needed to work with our school kids and asking adults to share their COVID info, since schools require it to work with kids. For the lesson plans, the challenge will be setting them up to practice and work out the kinks in the Fall and to get all them finalized to use in the Spring semester. For the field trip and the internships, I will have to work with the school and GE to maintain safety in general and with covid to give either idea a shot.

Hi Jared, I worked at GE Syracuse in the Sonar/Radar Division for several years as a data and project manager. It was a great company to work for. I had many opportunities to learn and grow through earning certifications within the company, and also earning my bachelor’s degree and master’s degree through their reimbursement program. I participated in an initiative implemented by Jack Welch called Work-Out. This experience and working at GE in general, was a highlight in my life. Kudos to you for creating lesson plans where students can learn about this first rate company.
Thanks, it was an awesome experience.
