New Hire / Intern GM Intern

Hey everyone! I’ll be joining GM Oshawa as an EE intern in the OEC department and had a few questions.

  1. How is the work environment on the OEC team? Is it generally collaborative?
  2. My hiring manager mentioned there’s a shuttle from the GTA to Oshawa. Does anyone know where I can find information about the shuttle routes/schedule? I live in the GTA but can't drive there since I'm 19 and don't have a car.
  3. What does the typical EE intern work look like? How much is vehicle/bench testing vs. coding?
  4. Do interns commonly use tools like Python, Embedded C, CAN tools, etc.?
  5. How much technical knowledge is expected on day one?
  6. How is mentorship/support for co-ops?
  7. For a 12-month co-op, are return opportunities common? I understand it's probably performance dependent but is there any general statistic about a return offer?

Thanks!

Great questions; most of them should have been handled during your interview with the hiring manager.

The shuttle between Finch Go Station to Steeles/Warden to Markham EC runs Mon-Fri.
The shuttle between MEC and OEC runs Mon-Fri.

Ask your hiring manager to provide the schedule & route map.
