COMMUNICATIONS LDP (CLDP)
This program is an exciting avenue for strategic, early career individuals to gain experience in the fields of internal, external and visual communications in preparation for future leadership roles at Lockheed Martin. CLDP isn't just an incredible career move – it's a chance to be on the cutting edge of technology development and to help tell the story of a company that's engineering a better tomorrow!
Program Details
CLDP is a full-time, two-year rotational program that delivers a diverse communications experience. Immersed in the inner workings of the world's leading advanced technology company, you'll develop extensive, career-building skills through a variety of training and development opportunities.
For internal and external communicators, you'll spend one year growing your expertise in employee communications and community relations, followed by another one-year rotation in marketing communications and media relations. For visual communicators, you'll spend two years broadening your skills in visual storytelling, branding, web design and photo and video production.
During the program, you'll also have the opportunity to attend two leadership development conferences and network with LDP peers from disciplines across Lockheed Martin. We also support and encourage our participants to continue their education and provide tuition reimbursement for a master's degree.
