FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a co-op and an internship?

Co-ops (short for Cooperative Education) typically involve multiple semesters of alternating between full-time work and full-time school. The typical co-op will complete two to five rotations of work, gaining a year or more of career-related work experience before graduation. Most university sponsored co-op programs also offer academic credit. Internships are typically one-semester and generally do not earn academic credit. Regardless of academic credit, we encourage you to review our Student Opportunities job board and learn more about our work assignments.

All our co-op & intern roles are paid. We provide housing & relocation assistance to students who are eligible.

At GE Appliances, we tend to use the terms co-op and intern interchangeably. Our Engineering/Technology, Manufacturing/Supply Chain and Information Technology teams encourage work assignments spanning multiple semesters. Our Commercial, Finance and Human Resource teams offer summer-only work assignments. We also offer part-time year-round work assignments in our Commercial and Finance teams for students local to the Louisville, KY, area.

Why should I consider student opportunities at GE Appliances?

Our co-op/intern roles are challenging, hands-on and impact business results. We offer you the opportunity to develop technically, personally, & professionally. We have approximately 150 co-ops per rotation cross-functionally. This student community leads cross-functional committees offering a variety of social, networking and volunteer opportunities.

We provide competitive pay rates based on the degree you are pursuing and your time in school. Our co-ops/interns are benefit eligible, including medical, dental, vision, & prescription drug coverage. Additionally, we offer paid holidays, employee discounts, an on-site fitness center and an on-site well clinic. We provide housing & relocation assistance as well to eligible students.

Our co-op/intern programs are the pipeline to our full-time Development Programs, which means less time searching for a job when you graduate.

Are you recruiting at my school?

We visit 25-30 campuses each semester. Check with your school’s Career Services to determine if GE Appliances will be attending career fair(s) and conducting on-site interviews.

If we are not planned to visit your campus, you are still encouraged to formally apply online for roles you are interested in and qualify for. A full listing of available student opportunities can be located here: Student Opportunities job board .

Can I apply in person for student opportunities with GE Appliances?

If we are attending a career fair at your university, we strongly encourage you to stop by and introduce yourself to us. In addition to meeting us, you must also formally apply online for positions that interest you.

I am interested in more than one role or semester. Do I apply to each separately?

Yes. You are encouraged to apply for each role that interests you and matches your skills and qualifications.

How do I find the status of my application?

If you met with our recruiters and interviewed on-campus, you should expect to hear back from us within 2-3 weeks of your interview.

If you applied online but have not met a GE Appliances recruiter in-person, you will receive system generated emails advising you of your applicant status.
