The CORE Overview
Our people make it happen, breaking through limitations every day. With our rotational development programs, recent hires gain hands-on experience, explore diverse roles, and develop the skills needed to drive innovation across industries.A brief description highlighting the key message or action users can take.
“The CORE program is a great place to get started as a new engineer fresh out of school. The experiences you have and the extensive network you build in this timeframe cannot be found in a niche, entry-level engineering role.”
Aric Kazmark
“[The CORE Program] was a great opportunity for me to establish meaningful connections with engineering experts and plant personnel across the different rotations which has been key to expanding my knowledge through leveraging their skillsets and connections.”
Dan Shirilla
“I got to know products from process engineering in cable to development engineering in fiber; the environments are very different, and after your immersion, you are able to focus in on what you want to learn more about.”
