Hear from our team and our MLDPs

The MLDP has given me the opportunity to experience vastly different roles that have refined my technical and strategic acumen, and have provided me with hands-on shop floor experience. I've also developed my leadership skills, received fantastic mentorship, and grown my professional network.

The MLDP has provided me with a diverse skillset allowing me to enhance my leadership capabilities through my core roles, active Employee Business Resource Group involvement, and opportunities to network with senior leaders. And with the tight-knit group that is my cohort, there is always a support system to lean on!

MLDP has been transformational to my development, both as an individual and as a leader. Having the opportunity to support three different areas of the business, from manufacturing to strategy development, has been incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. This program offers the perfect mixture of meaningful work, that is linked to our company’s mission, and development opportunities that will enable you to grow as a future leader of the company.

Emer Twohig

MLDP Class of 2020

The MLDP program has been a great stepping stone for me in terms of my career, with many opportunities and challenges to approach. One key benefit of the program would no doubt be exposure, from experiences in the shopfloor to interactions with global leadership, which will be key drivers for my development in my early career.

Kai Zhe Hew

The MLDP has given me the opportunity to experiment and gain a wide breadth of knowledge through my distinct rotations. The highlight of my experience so far is learning a third language with the support of the program, using those skills through my rotations, and getting to work with individuals across the globe.
