The SEED program is now accepting applications from Sun Engineering
staff worldwide for its Recent Hire and Established Staff terms which
will start in September 2008. (The next PreSEED term does not start until
January 2009.) The application deadline is 9 June.
To date, we have received 82 SEED applications, 23 of which
are complete. SEED has applications in
from Sun Engineering staff working in Canada, Czech Republic, India, Ireland,
Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, P.R. China, Russia, Saudi Arabia,
South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, the UK, and the USA.
They work for Sun Labs, Microelectronics, Global Sales and Services, Software,
Storage, Systems, and Worldwide Operations.
22 of the applicants are recent hires and the rest are established staff.
Last week, I sent out an email to the SEED list of 400+ potential mentors
to ask for volunteers to join this year’s Recent Hire executive Selection Committee.
I was looking for six or seven volunteers but got twenty so quickly that I
stopped accepting participant requests. What an amazing and enthusiastic
group of volunteers! SEED’s 2008-2009 Recent Hire executive
Selection Committee now includes two Distinguished Engineers, six Directors, and
a Senior Director, based in the San Francisco Bay Area, New Jersey, Beijing China,
Bangalore India, Prague Czech Republic, and Colorado. Three of the executives
are SEED participant alumni and seven are SEED mentors. I still need to pick
the SEED participant member of the Selection Committee from the 2007-2008
Recent Hire term.
