Engagement and Development 34 Pipeline Programs and Recruiting General Dynamics partners with local colleges, universities, high schools and trade schools to provide insight on curriculum development in an effort to build a continual pipeline of talent. We also provide hundreds of internship opportunities where students are exposed to real-world projects through hands-on experiences. In 2020, we had nearly 700 internships opportunities across the company and approximately 500 traditional apprenticeships in manufacturing or design competencies. Recruiting Partnerships and Outreach General Dynamics is honored to be a longstanding partner with global diversity efforts that host opportunities for sponsorships, employee recognition and student recruitment. Through these engagements, we recruit for internships and early career positions. Engagement in these efforts strengthens our access to diverse talent and supports our mission and the missions of our partners. Through these partnerships, we also have the opportunity to recognize the critical contributions of our diverse workforce. We celebrate our diversity partnerships: Gulfstream's Dallas facility partnered with the local school district to hire students enrolled in the district’s Pathway program, which provides learning opportunities to young people interested in aerospace and aviation careers. Gulfstream hosts students at its flight simulator as part of its “Pilot for a Day” program.
