Neurodiversity Internships
DIVERSITY MAKES US STRONGER
12-week peer support, mentoring and coaching. This is more than an internship. This is #UnlockingPotential.
General Dynamics Mission Systems is invested in the success of its employees and interns! Our culture empowers both professionals early in their career and with a long tenure to feel empowered and invited to contribute to the mission. This combined with employing people from different backgrounds and walks of life is key to producing innovative solutions for all General Dynamics Mission Systems' customers.
The Neurodiversity Summer Internship 2025 is Now Open and Accepting Applications
For several years, General Dynamics Mission Systems has partnered with BroadFutures, an organization dedicated to providing support and coaching for young people with learning disabilities and/or autism in the United States. According to Broad futures, one in five individuals has a learning or attention issue and fewer than half of young people with learning disabilities finish college or find stable employment.
Through our partnership with BroadFutures, we are offering internships with additional mentoring support for this untapped pool of neurodivergent early-career talent who are trained, supported, and prepared to work!
Candidates should demonstrate a thorough understanding of technology: IT and/or Engineering. Interns must be enrolled in an accredited degree program: Computer Science, Engineering: Computer, Systems, Software, Electrical, Mechanical or other related scientific, technical discipline or Mathematics field. Candidates should also be prepared to identify as neurodivergent or otherwise with a learning disability to BroadFutures through the application portal.
Ability to obtain a Department of Defense security clearance or active security clearance is preferred. Due to the nature of work performed within our facilities, U.S. citizenship is generally required.
We currently have positions in: Scottsdale AZ, Pittsfield MA, Bloomington MN, Huntsville AL, and McLeansville NC.
