Overview of HR Leadership Development Program

Early-in-career Track: The purpose of the HRLDP is to provide early-in-career professionals with a foundational competency base in various facets of HR.

 

Corning's Human Resources Leadership Development Program (HRLDP) is a special initiative focused on developing the company's future HR leaders. Unlike typical HR rotational programs, the HRLDP is crafted to mold you into a leader by providing a broad perspective of Corning's global business segments through various roles and tasks. The journey intertwines your individual career aspirations with the business objectives of Corning. This design allows you to venture into different areas of HR early in your career with Corning, enabling you to establish a wide network and gain extensive organizational knowledge. To ensure comprehensive development, the program offers a range of enriching experiences. These include initial onboarding workshops, sessions with mentors and coaches, training in leadership and functional skills, and the chance to interact and learn from business leaders throughout the company.

 

The HR Leadership Development Program is a three year program consisting of three rotational assignments within Corning HR’s Center of Excellence (COE) groups and Business Unit HR generalist assignments. The COE assignment(s) could be in Talent Management (i.e. Staffing, Talent Planning), Compensation & Benefits, Employee Relations and/or Operations & Analytics. The BUHR assignment(s) will be in a generalist role supporting a Business, Plant, and/or Corporate Function to provide strategic and operational support to the HR leader.
