Gulfstream professionals represent a great diversity of experiences, languages, lifestyles, beliefs and cultural backgrounds. Our many perspectives, combined with our desire to be the best, contribute to Gulfstream’s continued success.
Our diversity recruiting initiative is a key element of our overall recruiting. It’s also an integral part of our daily business. To help achieve a diverse workforce, we also partner with many diversity-focused organizations: the Society of Women Engineers, the National Society of Black Engineers, Women in Aviation and the Society for Hispanic Professional Engineers.
We make diversity a priority. Our diversity and inclusion efforts are supported by a comprehensive strategy encompassing four areas of emphasis: leadership accountability, education, process integration, and recruitment and retention. All of our open positions are posted on a range of diversity-focused Web sites to ensure that our applicant pool reflects today's dynamic workforce.
