HR Career Development Program
 
What is the program about?
This is an accelerated program for high-potential Human Resources professionals.

It is a challenging, practical rotational program centered on preparing today's HR professionals to become tomorrow's HR leaders.

What should an HR professional expect?
Program participants, or CDPs as we call them, can expect to receive strategic business-related training via targeted projects, the shadowing of business leaders, and formal classroom training. Also, because we want to develop a well-rounded leader, we provide each CDP with a mentor.

HR-CDP professionals will have the opportunity to work on projects within various areas of HR, such as Training and Development, Compensation and Benefits, HR Processes, Recruiting and Selection, Strategic Planning, Diversity Enhancement and Labor/Employee Relations.

Program summary:
  • Three one-year assignments
  • Global peer network
  • Business-focused training
  • Access to senior leaders
What are the qualifications for a successful incumbent?
Successful participants will be competent, savvy professionals committed to the Human Resources field. We prefer that the incumbent have a master's degree in business or a Human Resources discipline (MHRM, MLIR, MBA, etc.), two to three years of business-related experience; geographic mobility, and the unrestricted authorization to work in the country to which you are applying.

Additionally, the successful incumbent will embody some of the following characteristics:

  • Leadership abilities
  • High level of confidence
  • Business acumen
  • Strong analytical skills
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Passion for HR
