For engineering employers looking to hire one of our talented GELs, we provide exclusive opportunities to connect with students through our sponsorship offerings. Contact our Student and Industry Relations Manager to learn more.

Engineering employers can engage with students in the following ways:

GEL students are extraordinary MIT students. By joining the GEL Program, they go beyond simply enhancing their technical education—they are actively developing the leadership, communication, and teamwork skills that will shape them into emerging engineering leaders. These capabilities empower them to excel not only as engineers but also as effective team leaders and problem-solvers, ready to tackle the challenges of tomorrow’s engineering world.
