“I had an amazing time learning what it was really like to experience engineering in the corporate setting, and I worked on many different and fascinating projects. GlobalFoundries has really demonstrated that they are looking to grow and achieve great things through their workforce, and I could see myself being with the company full time to begin my career once I complete the necessary education pathway. I hope my experience there blossoms into greater opportunities for myself, the company, and future CUNY students."
