“Supportive, inclusive and proud.” These are the words Quiles-Fernan uses to describe the people of Pratt & Whitney. He knew he wanted a full-time role at Pratt & Whitney after completing an internship, where he saw first-hand how company leaders support their employees’ personal and professional growth. Quiles-Fernan’s team leaders encouraged him to explore the various programs offered through Pratt & Whitney, specifically community-related initiatives.
“When I was an intern, I participated in a program called Foodshare,” says Quiles-Fernan. “I volunteered with other employees and packaged about 4,000 pounds of meat that would be distributed to people experiencing food insecurity. Having this experience as an intern really helped me understand how Pratt & Whitney served the community and how as an employee, I am making a difference in my own community.”
Since then, Quiles-Fernan has joined one of Pratt & Whitney’s nine Employee Resource Groups (ERG), and today he sits on the Communications board of RTXHOLA. Participating in this ERG allows Quiles-Fernan to meet others with similar backgrounds, giving him a deeper sense of inclusion and connection to his colleagues.
Quiles-Fernan recognizes working for a big company that has a direct impact on an entire industry can be overwhelming – but more importantly, it’s something to be proud of. “The pride comes from working with such understanding leaders and knowing they will do anything to see you succeed.”
Every employee at Pratt & Whitney has an important role in developing and contributing to the long-term vision of aviation. If you believe it’s your responsibility to drive positive change while advancing the future of flight – join us. You’ll fit right in.
