  • The Technology Leadership Program associates have a tremendous opportunity before them. To have three years to rotate through various departments within Information Technology before deciding which role/area suits them best.  Depending on their choice and interest, they become a unique blend of technologist, business expert and, eventually, corporate leader.

    Andrew George
