Why I'm always on the go.
In response to Mike's query:
Rotational programs are becoming more popular in major companies lately, because they help develop young professionals on their track to becoming a jack-of-all-trades managers who have seen various parts of the companies before they get stapled to the same ergonomic chair every day. It is also a way to test the adaptability and 'can-do' attitude of these young professionals.
MeadWestvaco Consumer Solutions Group (CSG) offers the designs, substrates, construction, machinery and packaging know-how that has helped our customers become leaders in their industry. Whether the need is for beverages, DVDs, cosmetics, healthcare products, luxury goods or tobacco, MeadWestvaco has the complete packaging solution.
The CSG Graduate Associate Rotational Program exposes individuals early in their careers to various parts of our business through four carefully structured assignments over a two-year period. Graduate Associates complete three domestic and at least one international assignment in areas such as Manufacturing, Sales, Finance, Business Transformation, Product Development and Market Research.
Embedded in the business units and working with operations executives and senior managers, program participants have the opportunity to make significant contributions to the company while learning through direct, interactive, hands-on experience.
MelT was the one who first introduced me to the program. I like the way she says it is "just like working on your MBA course." I'll finish up my 6 months in England on a beer project, and then it's off to Chi-town for the next six to do an operations streamlining project.
