Meeting you where you are in your career
We offer several benefits and programs designed to meet your unique needs. Here’s what colleagues had to say.
Employee Scholar Program
"Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined graduating from one of the top nationally-ranked educational communications programs. Earning my masters degree through the Employee Scholar Program has helped me stay in the know with all the latest trends and strategies, and connected me with top, industry professionals who will continue to support me throughout my career." - T'yanna
Black Talent Accelerator
"My experience in the Black Talent Accelerator (BTA) has been meaningful. It’s allowed me to create a framework to focus on my career aspirations. I’ve participated in focused 1:1 mentoring/sponsorship sessions with Collins’ Black Executive Council members, and I’ve met other high-potential peers through networking and transformative learning opportunities." - Fred
Women in Line Leadership (WILL Rise)
"The WILL Rise program has been a critical development experience for me. A curriculum developed by women leaders in the organization who are in line leadership positions helped make the material relevant and practical. The collaborative and curated networking across the RTX means I now have strong, personal and professional relationships I wouldn’t have had otherwise." - Liz
TechTracks
"TechTracks provided the opportunity to work with technical leaders across Collins and make an impact beyond my day-to-day role. The program supported me in understanding my strengths and passions in developing my career plan. Together, with a multi-disciplinary cohort of engineering peers, we applied learnings to real projects which directly supported the greater Collins. More than ever, I understand my path forward." - John
Leading Inspired Females in Technology (LIFT)
"Leading Inspired Females in Technology is a place where I’ve been able to share my thoughts openly, discuss ideas and strengthen my skills. This unique group of colleagues has supported me in my career development from department manager to leader of a whole engineering organization. LIFT is making a difference for each of us, our families, our company and the world." - Anna
Professional Industrial/Manufacturing Engineering (PrIME) (rotational program)
"PrIME has given me a strong foundation as I progress in my career and has instilled in me confidence to succeed in future roles. The rotational nature of the program exposed me to various projects, roles and responsibilities and helped me become a better listener, clearly articulate my thoughts and adapt my communication." - Dan
Re-Empower
"It (Re-Empower) boosted my confidence and helped me get back into the swing of things. I was able to take the time I needed to adjust, while developing the skills I needed to succeed." - Deepa
Customer Oriented Results and Excellence (CORE)
"CORE is all about change management which requires paradigm thinking within yourself and others. To be successful in change management, it’s critical to think differently and hear what hasn’t been said. The program’s kaizen (i.e., “change for the better”) engagements and trainings provided me enormous opportunities to experience and practice these soft behaviors. The CORE certification process exposed me to multiple global stakeholders and reiterated our company values: Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation."
- Saravanan

Our partnership has helped us as we continue to make Collins a place where everyone feels valued, respected and heard." – Isla

I am forever grateful for the partnership between the DoD and Collins!" – Sherresa
Out & Equal
"From the day I started working with the company five years ago, I found a place where I could be authentically myself at work, no matter what space I was occupying. Messaging from leadership has always been very clear on the importance of supporting LGBTQIA+ colleagues and their allies. Even more importantly, leader actions are aligned to supporting LGBTQIA+ colleagues and have made me feel like my sexual orientation or how I choose to present myself, are not a limiting factor to the growth or advancement of my career." – Alejandro
Disability:IN
"Our partnership provides traditionally marginalized groups of people a chance to tell their stories. Disability:IN’s expertise enables all of us to be better advocates for the true inclusion of those with seen and unseen disabilities.
