GE – Imagination Prize
Our annual Celebration Event is scheduled for Monday 9 June 2014. If you have successfully completed the Award by earning 30 credits or have been shortlisted for one of the Employer-Supported Prizes, you will be invited to the event.
There are several top employers who are sponsoring prizes this year, along with the Vice-Chancellor’s Prize. Prize winners will receive awards such as lunch with the vice president of the company, an internship position, a session with a career coach, or various vouchers and give-aways.
This week we would like to feature the “GE – Imagination Prize”. This Q&A was sent to us by GE to promote their prize.
What is central to the theme of this prize?
This prize, supported by GE, recognises an individual student for their imagination throughout the Award.
How does this prize reflect the culture and values of GE?
The “imagination at work” tagline symbolises the creative spirit and can-do attitude of GE people. GE’s innovative technologies span industries as broadly as they do countries, from nanotechnology, molecular imaging, and photonics to large scale industrial turbines- but that’s just the beginning. Our businesses are also creating the future of healthcare, entertainment, finance, energy, communications and more. To find out more take a look at our website.
