MITRE Early Career Program (ECP) – Program Summary

The MITRE Early Career Program (ECP) is a dynamic, immersive initiative designed to nurture future leaders by providing tailored on-the-job training and experiential learning. Targeting professionals with 0-3 years of experience, ECP guides participants from entry-level Associate roles to Senior Analyst positions, emphasizing personal and professional growth within a single department.

Core Values

  • Empower : ECP encourages participants to ask questions, take initiative, propose new ideas, and take ownership of their work.
  • Culture : The program cultivates a collaborative, inclusive, and value-driven environment, enabling ECP members to introduce fresh perspectives and help shape MITRE’s organizational culture.
  • Proactive : Participants are expected to anticipate challenges, seek improvements, and actively engage in their development alongside managers and senior leadership.
