Members,
Another opportunity which would provide a great background for those interested in PE.

Summer internship opportunities at GE Capital:
Interested qualified candidates ONLY should forward their resumes via email to me with a copy to Donna. We’ll review them for quality and “fit” and pass the best ones on to GE Capital’s hiring manager. At this juncture, GE Capital is NOT interested in receiving cover letters, so only résumés demonstrating an obvious “fit” with the candidate qualifications outlined below will be given serious consideration.
These summer internship opportunities are with GE Capital in the US (not within any other divisions of GE). Below is a brief description of the qualifications that they’re looking for in summer internship candidates. For your information and future reference, I’m including links that discuss the Experienced Commercial Leadership Program (ECLP) at GE. Candidates who do well in the internship will likely get a full-time offer to join the ECLP program.
Although the ECLP spans all of GE’s business units, the summer internship opportunities are in GE Capital. The hiring manager has emphasized that successful candidates will most importantly possess:
· 5-7 years of work experience, including prior exposure to the financial services sector;
· What GE calls strong “commercial” skills (i.e., prior sales and marketing experience a plus); and
· Very strong leadership skills.
More specifically, the summer internship candidate qualifications for GE Capital (Commercial Lending & Leasing; Real Estate; Consumer Financing; Aviation Services; Energy Financial Services) include:
• 5-7 years of demonstrated “commercial” experience in customer-oriented roles, such as sales, marketing, consulting, banking, real estate, or financial services.
• Analytical and strategic thinking skills…financial modeling a plus; and
• Proven skills in leadership, communication, project management, influencing key stakeholders, etc.

GE’s ECLP consists of three eight-month rotations that will eventually lead to placement in an “executive role” in one of GE’s business units. Simultaneously, the ECLP experience may offer six-month-long deep-dive training programs, such as a credit analysis “boot camp,” a presentation skills module, etc., and may also include, e.g., a tour of GE’s operations in Shanghai, PRC, which should give you a good sense that this is a truly outstanding career opportunity.
International students: The hiring manager may be open to placing international students in these US-based GE Capital internships if they have applied for and received US work authorization and obtained a US Social Security Number for US payroll purposes. Having said that, international students should understand that even if they were able to prevail in getting hired for the summer by GE Capital in the US, GE would NOT be making any commitment to rehire them in the US after graduation. For the post-graduation ECLP program, GE’s hiring managers would welcome international students to apply; however, if a person is to be considered for the post-graduation US ECLP program, he/she will need to have “unrestricted US work authorization.” Otherwise, GE tends to place international students in “poles” outside of the US – i.e., GE’s Asia pole, Latin America pole, etc.
