Edison Engineering Development Program

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Edison Engineering Development Program (EEDP) is one of General Electric's six corporate entry level programs. Focused on engineering, the program aims to "develop technical problem-solving skills through advanced courses in engineering and technical projects that are aligned with business objectives". Typically each GE business runs its own program, and candidates are required to apply for and rotate within the program at a specific business.
