About the Program

Honeywell Initiative for Returning Engineers (HIRE), an accelerated development program supported by the Society of Women Engineers, is designed to help on-ramping professional women make a seamless transition back to work.

At Honeywell, people are the ultimate differentiator. We hire the best; give them every possible opportunity to learn, grow and develop; and reward them for their contributions. Our size, industries and portfolio breadth enable people to have long and dynamic careers, progress into leadership positions and explore opportunities across businesses, functions and regions.

Our employees know their work is important and that customers value our technologies. Through these efforts, we continue to build a company with great positions in good industries, and a solid track record of financial performance.

Learning is a big part of our commitment to employees. Our approach includes on the job training, online courses, classroom learning and coaching.
