Forbes magazine recently released a list of the best workplaces by state, based on employee recommendations and insights. We are honored to rank among the best in our home state of Delaware! When Bill and Vieve Gore founded our company in their Delaware home 66 years ago, they dreamed of a different kind of workplace — a highly collaborative, team-based environment where innovation and creativity thrive. Today, we strive to build on their dream, and we are proud of Gore’s continued legacy as a leading employer in Delaware and around the world. #TogetherImprovingLife #LifeAtGore #DelawareBusiness #Forbes (Pictured: Bill and Vieve inside of Gore's first plant in Newark, Delaware, in the early 1960s) Forbes list: https://lnkd.in/gSGqW7Ei

Gore's Associate-led #diversity networks have grown in recent months to include two new groups — providing additional opportunities for connection, learning, growth and working together toward shared goals. The Middle Eastern and Northern Africa (MENA) Network, based in the U.S., offers greater insight into the people, countries, cultures, languages and traditions that make up this region and enrich our day-to-day interactions with each other. The NextGEN network, based in Europe, reflects Gore's commitment to nurturing the next generation of talent, with a focus on the aspirations and challenges specific to younger Associates and their development into future leaders. These new groups are among our 20 diversity networks globally. #TogetherImprovingLife #LifeAtGore #DEI

During 33 years with Gore, Associate Henri Bryan has tested Gore’s fabrics in extreme conditions — from mountaintops to firefighting training — and observed the intricate manufacturing processes for Gore’s medical devices and aircraft cable assemblies. This has provided special insight into the durability and performance of Gore’s products and their impact on lives and in industries. #TogetherImprovingLife #MeetTheAssociate #LifeAtGore #Innovation

We appreciate the hard work, dedication and fresh perspectives of #interns like Tyra Grant who recently shared her experiences as an engineering intern with Gore. Thank you for your contributions — we are so glad it was a fulfilling opportunity! #TogetherImprovingLife #LifeAtGore #GoreIntern
It’s official, today marks my last day as an Engineering Intern at W.L. Gore & Associates. This experience has been remarkable and one for the books! First, I would like to extend my gratitude to W. L. Gore & Associates for making this experience possible. I have relished my time here in Phoenix, Arizona. It’s been an honor to learn from such heartfelt and talented individuals. Throughout this experience, I have been able to foster new connections across the enterprise and, get a taste of Arizona. Last but not least, I would like to give thanks to leader, Phil Crompton, for helping me soar to new heights as well as my entire team. I thank you all for taking the time to help me grow my knowledge and navigate my internship this summer. If there is one thing I would tell anyone seeking to be an intern, it’s to “be intentional”! Being intentional about your work and communication efforts can help mitigate any shortcoming in the future. For me, this looked like creating an Excel sheet of what I’m struggling on, what I have completed and, what I hope to do with my time at the company to share with my leader and I. Being intentional with my goals and desires, along with what is expected of me set me up for success along this journey. With that being said, I am so elated to be able to be apart of this year’s engineering intern cohort. I look forward to continuing to foster the connections I’ve made, and witnessing the success of all the interns I’ve met this summer.

As industries look to reduce their carbon footprint, #DirectAirCapture technology is poised to play a pivotal role. We are proud to help pave the way through our ongoing collaboration with CarbonCapture Inc. Our work together has already led to the incorporation of advanced sorbents into the Leo Series DAC module, pictured below, which can capture more than 500 tonnes of CO2 annually. Follow the link to learn how we are collaborating to advance this technology and extract CO2 from the atmosphere. #TogetherImprovingLife #Innovation #Sustainability #CarbonReduction https://lnkd.in/eV3DwaGt
