The changing nature of work and the workforce presents a challenge to both employers and employees. Global and diversified organisations like General Electric (GE) Malaysia rolled out an intern-friendly policy in 2007.
GE has a strong tradition in developing talent and programmes like the company’s Graduate Leadership Programme (GLP), an extensive two to three months on-the-job leadership experience extended to budding executives, and the Financial Management Programme (FMP), a two-year programme which grooms fresh grads into world-class finance leaders. Such programmes set the standard in the corporate world. And the best part is that local millennials augur well in their plans.
These young financial whizzes are more than just number crunchers. They’re part of GE’s Financial Management Program (FMP), which grooms recent college grads for GE leadership roles. FMPs, as they’re called, get to develop their skills, learn the business – and figure out where to go with their careers. They’re rubbing elbows with top management. They’re interacting with colleagues and building a valuable – and gratifying — network. If you have a willingness to learn, to work hard and to commit to the values that have made GE great, then FMP may be right for you.
GE’s Financial Management Program is widely considered to be the premier program of its kind. It is the first step in many successful GE management careers. FMP develops leadership and analytical skills through classroom training and key assignments. There are individual FMP programs specific to many of GE’s businesses.
In collaboration with the HUB, GE participates in the Immersion Experience program, offering co-ops to four-year college students who want to work more than 12 weeks while maintaining their college schedules. Gain hands-on experience while working on challenging projects, network with professionals and learn from some of the brightest minds in business. Co-op work experience is a vitally important tool for helping you determine the course of your career, giving you valuable insight into the workplace, useful experience, and helpful contacts for the future.
“The Financial Management Program has been an enjoyable and dynamic learning experience that has opened up many opportunities across GE. It has set a foundation for future leadership positions, offering extensive training, development and exposure.”
