With back-to-school season for college students just around the corner, GE Appliances, a Haier company, is creating 150 new part-time production positions at Appliance Park as part of its GEA2DAY program. Established in 2018, GEA2DAY offers college students and others interested in part-time work the opportunity to join a weekly two-day workforce that provides a $14 an hour wage, real-world work experience and benefits that include up to $6,000 per year in college tuition assistance.
As Appliance Park continues to grow with the recent expansion announcement, additional part-time positions are needed to help support vacation and time-off requests from full-time employees. GEA2DAY employees work two days a week - Mondays and Fridays - providing college students flexibility to schedule classes Tuesday through Thursday or on the weekends around their work schedules. GEA2DAY positions are also open to people who simply want part-time work in manufacturing.

The innovative GEA2DAY program was created to provide steady part-time employment opportunities while supporting current full-time employees who want to schedule vacation days on Mondays and Fridays.

tremendous personal fulfillment
“GEA2DAY is about providing a flexible opportunity to begin the journey toward a great career with a growing company. Thirty-two years ago, while going to school, I responded to a job posting for a local manufacturer and was hooked; manufacturing has been my career path ever since. It has provided professional experience, growth opportunities and tremendous personal fulfillment that I couldn’t have imagined when I answered that ad.”
Highlights of the GEA2DAY positions include:
- Starting wages of $14 per hour plus a night shift bonus for second and third shift employees with opportunities for advancement
- Paid holidays that fall on Mondays and Fridays, paid vacation, and up to $6,000 in tuition reimbursement annually
- Discounts on appliances on the first day of employment
In addition, employees have access to an on-site wellness clinic, athletic center and employee assistance program.
