“Like other leadership programs in GE, IMLP provides the opportunity to accelerate your learning by exposing the trainee to different businesses environments, leadership styles, and business problems during the course of the rotations,” said João Lencioni, CIO Latin America. “This is a great opportunity to learn how to adapt quickly into a new environment and deliver under tight time constraints.

Today, GE announced what would be a new dynamo powering this growth: a new Global Software Center, located in San Ramon, California. The center will hire and house 400 software engineers and other professionals developing digital tools that gather and analyze the millions of gigabytes of data generated by controls, sensors, computers and other parts of the brains of industrial machines. These tools will predict and respond to changes, and guide customers in how to best use their assets. To apply, visit GE.com/software.

General Electric Co.’s hiring spree in Southeast Michigan is anchored by local talent experienced in information technology. About 90 percent of the center’s 700 employees at its Advanced Manufacturing and Software Technology Center in Van Buren Township hail from Michigan. The company is hiring about 10 IT professionals a week, and by 2013, the Van Buren facility is expected to house the largest concentration of GE IT employees in the world.

GE announced that it’s opening a new Information Security Technology Center that will specialize in cyber security. For GE’s IT experts, it’s part of a broad-based effort to ensure that GE systems and security teams stay ahead of a rapidly changing, constantly evolving technology landscape. For Glen Allen, Virginia, which is just north of Richmond, it means jobs, as the high-tech hub will grow to roughly 200 employees over the next few years.

With the help of the Government of Ontario, the energy giant’s Canadian division will open a smart grid tech and energy management testing centre next year in Markham, Ont. Plus, the company will hire nearly 150 new positions, including software developers.
