GE and HACU launch pilot internship referral program

GE's Hispanic Affinity Group, the GE Hispanic Forum (HF), and the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) are launching a pilot internship referral program in 2014 for Hispanic students to pair them with GE internships in their current field of study. The program will offer leadership training and expose them to role models working in the science, technology, engineering, math (STEM) and finance fields. Candidates will be initially screened by HACU staff and then are reviewed and selected by GE.

"Engaging Hispanic students early in STEM careers will deepen their understanding of the opportunities and expectations in various STEM fields and provide hands-on experience to make them more career ready," said HACU President and CEO Antonio R. Flores. "We are delighted to work with GE on this program and believe it will help encourage the next generation of young Hispanics to pursue careers in STEM."

Interested students can request more information about this program and other corporate internship opportunities at HACU's website here.

  

The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, founded in 1986, represents more than 500 colleges and universities in the United States, Latin America, Spain, and school districts throughout the U.S. HACU is the only national association representing existing and emerging Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). The Association’s headquarters are in San Antonio, Texas, with regional offices in Washington, D.C. and Sacramento, California.
