Amazing Networking Opportunities

When I joined the IMLP program a few months ago, I was worried that I might not have any contact with leaders at such a big company.  I discovered that I had nothing to worry about.  The networking opportunities that I have encountered so far in IMLP are some of the most rewarding that a young IT professional could experience.

As IMLPs, we have numerous roundtables with Chief Information Officers (CIO's) and executive level managers.  We were able to meet the new GE CIO as well as the different CIO’s of each department at Aviation.  We spend time asking questions and receive advice from those who have excelled in their careers. 

GE has taken on a stronger identity for me after being exposed to leaders.  I have been here for only 4 months yet have already met some of the biggest leaders in the company.  These experiences of meeting and networking with leaders are going to provide endless opportunities for me and for my IMLP peers. 

How about you?  Have you ever had similar concerns about being able to have insight into leadership at a large company?
