Business Applications Lockheed is also completely redesigning its administrative computer applications for financial, manufacturing, engineering, procurement, and logistics into an integrated data base system using IMS/VS in a DB/DC environment on an IBM 3033. If you are interested in becoming a member of a highly skilled team involved in the topdown design and development of an administrative data base environment, Lockheed has a position for you. We are looking for computer science graduates with experience or an interest in IBM’s IMS logical or physical data base design, data administration or DB/DC programming. EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES At Lockheed, you will find encouragement throughout your career to enhance your education. Our tuition reimbursement program may allow you to take graduate courses at several nearby universities -the "Early Bird” Program at the University of Santa Clara, and the Honors Cooperative Program at Stanford Universify are two possibilities. You’ll also enjoy our in-house educational opportunities. We offer more than 100 courses each quarter ranging from general interest, to technical, to management. Over 40 of these are graduate level audit courses via the TV network from Stanford. We also have our own Technical Training and Professional Development organizations who plan and develop special courses for short term and on going training needs. In addition, there are training programs in a number of organizations. The Missile Systems Division features the Graduate Engineers Program which consists of five weeks of classroom lectures and laboratory demonstrations followed by three six-week rotational assignments. The Information Processing organization features online computer based instruction, formal and informal lectures and workshops, plus training by vendors and other outside organizations. Other departments within the company have their own formal and informal programs. As you can see, the atmosphere and the attitude at Lockheed encourage continuing learning experiences.
