Job Description How does it feel to work on a team driven to make a big impact? Empowering. We believe your career should always be growing. And that's exactly what it will do at BAE Systems as part of our Leadership Development Program (LDP). The LDP is designed to accelerate the development and career of highly-motivated recent college graduates who aspire to achieve their leadership potential. This is accomplished through challenging and rewarding rotational assignments, technical and leadership training, advanced education, leadership opportunities and exposure, and mentorship. You'll hit the ground running with a company truly committed to your growth as you enjoy a special camaraderie on a team dedicated to protecting what really matters. As an Engineering Leadership Development Program participant, you will gain:
Experience: The ELDP consists of three, one-year rotations; each with increasing responsibility. It is designed to provide diverse set of experiences within Engineering areas and disciplines. ELDP participants are also exposed to a variety of networking opportunities and strategic project initiatives.
Diversity: The ELDP's affiliation with other BAE Systems leadership development programs enables participants to work in cross-functional and cross-site rotational assignments
Flexibility: The ELDP does provide flexibility for program participants. This flexibility includes ELDP participant input of 2nd and 3rd rotational assignments and/or geographic location.
Education: It is a requirement of this program to complete a technical Master's Degree Program. BAE Systems offers robust tuition assistance for graduate school. The school and specific technical degree is left up to the candidate, providing it is applicable to the business and the program structure.
Opportunity to travel: BAE Systems has locations worldwide with our ELDP primarily rotating to locations within the United States. Your first rotation will likely be at Sterling Heights, MI or Minneapolis, MN. These assignments can change based on business need. Your second and third rotations may be at any of our sector locations nationwide.
Mentorship: A mentor is assigned to each ELDP participant to expose them to diverse and challenging experiences, while providing guidance in career development and off-program placement.
Personal growth: The program seeks to facilitate the growth of an individual's leadership skills through an annual, week-long leadership development conference (LDC). This conference provides personalized leadership training as well as an opportunity to network with senior BAE Systems executives and other leadership development program participants across the company. Participants can also expect to complete a technical and leadership curriculum during the program which will provide a holistic career development experience through a mix of in-person and virtual trainings.
