“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.”

 “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.”
