Durham Tech and Corning Incorporated have partnered to offer eligible students an opportunity to participate in their Technician Pipeline Program (TPP) – a two-year paid internship that offers tuition assistance and job placement at Corning upon completion.
Corning is a worldwide leading innovator in materials science and operates a life sciences and pharmaceutical technologies location in Durham. The TPP program was introduced in 2008 to optimize partnership opportunities between scientists and technicians in Corning’s Technology Community and increase the number of under-represented minorities and women in technician roles by establishing a comprehensive, fully customized talent pipeline.
