EAST FISHKILL ꟷ GLOBALFOUNDRIES (GF) and Dutchess Community College announced on Monday that they have strengthened their partnership by offering GF employees the opportunity to further their education at DCC in undergraduate and certificate programs with deferred billing options.
The option for deferred billing is a unique program that creates more opportunities for GF employees to pursue additional education, the company said. Employees can also further benefit through GF’s tuition reimbursement program.
For DCC, partnering with GF brings experienced professionals to the campus, broadening the learning experience for current attendees and providing a pipeline of new students. As part of the partnership, a representative from GF will serve on DCC’s Electrical Technology Advisory Board.
“Our long-standing partnership with DCC allows GF to further develop our talent pipeline. Not only is it a great opportunity for our employees to enhance their education and careers, it also is another example of how GF is partnering with community organizations,” said Neil Peruffo, vice president and general manager of GF Fab 10. “We currently have more than 100 DCC graduates on our team from as far back as the Class of 1975, several of whom hold management positions.”
GF also has a recruiting presence on the DCC campus for both full-time employment and summer internships.
