[The GE Communications Leadership Development Program and Why It Rocks.]

[Fearful that your first job will be more about fetching coffee than flexing your brain?]

[Consider GE's Communications Leadership Development Program, ]

[where recent college grads are immediately given high-profile assignments]

[and the respect that goes with them. ]

[Here's what CLDP is all about. ]

[We know what you're thinking: GE...GE...they make light bulbs, right?]

[Well, yeah, including some pretty cutting edge light bulbs,]

[but we also do a whole lot more. ]

[GE is a an incredibly powerful, innovative, and diversified brand,]

[featuring the world's leading energy, healthcare, ]

[financial services, and transportation businesses. ]

[Each CLDP participant works in one of those divisions. ]

[CLDP takes you places. ]

[It's a 2-year adventure involving three 8-month rotations]

[at different GE locations around the globe. ]

[Each rotation gives you experience in a different area of communications--]

[public relations, employee communications, and marketing communications--]

[and all rotations provide training in broad leadership skills. ]

[At this point you're probably thinking, "Okay, okay, sounds good."]

["But what exactly will I be doing?"]

[Well, for starters you'll participate in innovative digital and social media campaigns.]

[You'll own and manage projects that support GE's key initiatives.]

[You'll help manage communications with both GE's hundreds of thousands of employees]

[and big-time media. ]

[You'll collaborate with our think-tank. The opportunities are endless.]

[Another awesome aspect of CLDP?]

[It's not your typical entry-level position.]

[You'll be encouraged to pitch ideas and handle huge responsibilities from the get-go, ]

[and making coffee runs isn't one of them. ]

[Stand out during the program, and you'll be rewarded.]

[CLDP graduates can advance rapidly at GE.]

[Do you like to travel and experience different cultures?]

[With offices all over the world, we may send you to some pretty exciting locales. ]

[You'll also be attending 4 week-long global conferences, ]

[also held in amazing destinations, where you'll meet all kinds of movers and shakers. ]

[And you'll benefit from 3 elite leadership-training courses during the program. ]

[We think we've made our point. If you've got what it takes for GE's CLDP]

[and meet the requirements: a 4-year college degree with ]

[communications-related coursework, a GPA of 3.0 or above, ]

[geographic mobility, and a passion for exciting challenges,]

[apply at gecareers.com. ]

[Because a mind is a terrible thing to waste at a lousy job out of college. ]

[Did you know? GE power generation equipment creates]

[one-fourth of the world's electricity every day. ]
