Program Information
Acuity's Electrical Engineering Leadership Program is designed to identify high potential candidates in electrical engineering. These candidates join the company in full time professional roles that are designed to enhance their early career development. Each participant spends their first 18-24 months of employment rotating every 6 months in various roles, all located in the greater Atlanta area. These roles are largely designed to allow them to have a wide range of exposure to the organization and simultaneously give each part of the organization exposure to the participant. The goal of the leadership program is to expose new grads to a variety of paths within a discipline while preparing for a more permanent position after completing 3 – 4 rotations. This allows participants to build their skill sets and find their niche within the company. Leadership Program start dates will be available for December 2019 and May 2020 graduates.
Rotations and assignments are determined by the need of the business and may include the following:
- New Product Development
