Once candidates apply and are selected, they receive an offer to spend the following summer working with their host team. The program is designed to give interns meaningful, hands-on experience at Boeing, allowing them to apply their academic expertise while contributing to real-world industry challenges and opportunities.
In addition to industry work exposure , students attend GRP programming to further broaden their experience and knowledge of Boeing . GRP programming components include: mentorship in your field of study, weekly Featured Speaker Talks , a week-long in-person GRP Summit , participation in an Innovation Challenge , and other opportunities to interact and build a professional network with other GRP students, Boeing team members , and Boeing leadership.
Please note: The work you do at Boeing can be related to your area of study, but can not contribute or be used in your PhD thesis .
