Rotational Development Program

Chevron Phillips Chemical's Graduate Rotational and Development (GRAD) Program is a challenging two year development opportunity designed for talented college graduates interested in expanding their horizons and careers in engineering, research, technology, sales, client services, operations, finance, HR, and general management.

Through rotational assignments, training, mentorship, education, and performance management, the GRAD Program ensures that you will quickly obtain valuable company knowledge, hands on experience, and expertise in your chosen discipline – as well as find the right career fit within Chevron Phillips Chemical. Hear directly from recent GRAD graduates on how they found the program invaluable. 

The GRAD Program consists of four components:

Cross Functional Rotational Assignments

Rotational assignments provide on-the-job learning and a broad breadth of knowledge – preparing you for future leadership positions. Through at least two cross-functional assignments during your first two years of employment, you gain invaluable practical work experience. Selection of assignments is based upon business needs, your interests and experience, desired career path, and development opportunities. Assignments can span across different geographical locations.

Learning & Development

Training opportunities are designed to expedite learning about the company and its processes, the chemical industry, and professional soft skills. Additionally, training is selected based on its ability to help meet your development objectives. Learning and development topics are covered in both classroom and online environments, as well as through project assignments. Other training opportunities take place through discussions with your supervisor, assigned mentor, and co-workers.

Mentoring

Each GRAD Program participant is paired with a peer advisor to help ease the transition from college life to business professional. Assigned locally, the peer advisor acts as a coach, guide, resource, and sounding board for any concerns or questions you have. Your experienced peer advisor will guide and assist you with developing the skills you will need to grow and succeed at Chevron Phillips Chemical.

Performance Management

The basis of Chevron Phillips Chemical’s Performance Management process is based on an ongoing dialogue between you and your supervisor. These conversations provide opportunity for you to voice ideas, interests and concerns, to obtain feedback on your performance, to create objectives, and to establish both short- and long-term career development goals.
