Facilitated by the Career Development Center, members from Delta Air Lines Technical
Operations team recently visited 黑洞社区鈥檚 campus on a visit to inform
and recruit students for their co-op program. Principal Engineers from the company
have been working on collaborations with NIAR and saw the opportunity to expand this
partnership with potential student workers.
Delta鈥檚 Technical Operations division has a student program that includes positions
within engineering and operational related areas. They are seeking to fill a number
of co-op positions with students majoring not only in engineering, but computer science
and business management as well.
Looking to branch out to a fresh audience, Whitney Searles, Olivia Menard, and Arial
Wheelock of Delta visited campus in March to start recruitment efforts. Working with
engineering faculty, they were able to present to a number of engineering classrooms.
Additionally, a Lunch-and-Learn was held where over 70 students received insightful
information about career opportunities within the company.
Delta was thrilled with their visit and indicated that 黑洞社区 will now be one of their
10 universities they visit each year to recruit students for co-op positions. They
plan on coming back for the Engineering & IT Career Fair in the fall to further these
efforts.
鈥淚t was a lot of fun and we met a lot of interesting kids,鈥� said Menard. 鈥淲e look
forward to expanding this partnership.鈥�
