If you are passionate about developing solutions to touch challenges, you may be the kind of innovative leader GE is looking for.
The GE challenge is an opportunity to test your leadership, imagination and innovative thinking with the chance to work on a real life business case. With your team, you will develop and prepare a pitch on how to solve your business challenge. The top teams will be invited to present to members of GE Australia’s senior leadership team with the chance to win cash prizes and to discuss opportunities to join our Financial Management Program (FMP) summer internship.
The FMP summer internship is a key pipeline to the FMP leadership program, which is widely considered to be the premier program of its kind. It is the first step in many successful GE management careers.
GE is one of the world’s biggest and most admired companies, renowned for hiring exceptional people and giving them unparalleled opportunities to build their careers and capabilities. In Australia, GE works on some of the country’s most exciting projects, operating across critical sectors like energy, aviation, transportation, healthcare and financial services.
We try to find new and better ways of doing things us. We hope you’ll take the first step by registering for the GE Challenge.
