Community College Partnerships

Community College Partnerships   ___

 

As the world of work changes, we recognize the need to adapt to how students are learning and entering the workforce. Students are learning how to code in elementary school and expanding that knowledge through YouTube and other classes. Apprenticeships are becoming more available and giving students opportunities to forego college and enter a profession right after high school. Community Colleges are equipping students with the right knowledge and skills to make a significant contribution to the workforce.

At Lockheed Martin, we are making technical careers more accessible to a diverse set of future workers by recruiting Engineering candidates from local community colleges with technical 2-year associate degrees.

This isn't a glorified internship. You will be an important piece to the development of our emerging technologies.
