In addition to daily on-the-job training, each Supply Chain MDP class will have mid- and end-of-year training weeks at a central location. This training week is both intense and a lot of fun.

Our Program

As part of this two-year program, you will participate in four, six-month assignments. No role is the same, and there is a large degree of cross-functionality. The goal is to provide you with an overview of division functions and teams, experience through assigned projects and knowledge of overall company operations.

Every Supply Chain MDP employee will participate in a supervisory role to experience managing multiple employees in a manufacturing setting. This is a valuable opportunity to grow as a leader, and this rotation is where most employees say they learn the most.

Upon successful completion of the program, you will have the chance to interview for permanent positions based on current openings. It is our goal to help you find a position that best fits your individual strengths and interests while satisfying business needs.
