The GradEL Engineering Residency is a six-month, high-impact internship experience that allows students to put their classroom learning into practice as a team member at a leading company. Current partners include Apple and Northrop Grumman.
Participants not only gain valuable real-world on-the-job experience during their internship—they are also supported by supplemental learning programs and one-on-one coaching to help them learn and apply key engineering leadership capabilities in real time.
“The Residency allowed me to apply my graduate training in a fast-paced, high-impact environment. It was an incredible experience that sharpened my technical skills and taught me how to thrive in collaborative, multidisciplinary teams. The prep work at GradEL gave me the tools to contribute meaningfully from day one.” — Somayajulu Dhulipala, GradEL Engineering Resident at Apple
