We are in the application cycle for the new
SEED
worldwide Engineering mentoring term for Established Staff (to run April-October
2009). The application forms will be open through Monday, 23 February 2009.
(That is: everything is due before midnight California time, 23 February.)
So far, 51 people have applied but only 5 of those applications are complete.
Some Metrics
- Applications have been
submitted from Sun staff working in Australia, China, Czech Republic, France, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Russia, Switzerland, and the USA (Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas). - Applicants who have volunteered their countries of origin are from:
Australia, Bangladesh, Belarus, China, Czech Republic, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Romania, Russia, Slovak Republic, Taiwan, Trinidad & Tobago, USA, and Vietnam - Applications have come in from Sun Labs, Microelectronics, Sales, Services, Software, Storage, and Systems.
One of the fun aspects of a SEED application period is seeing where everyone is from and where they work now – like our own little world tour!
