At ConocoPhillips there’s always potential for personal and professional growth. Learning and development is an ongoing process and an integral factor to our success.
Various opportunities exist that enrich your talent and skill at every step of your career.
Our mission is direct: to maximise performance by investing in people. By providing programmes that enrich your talents and skills at every step of your career, we strengthen not only your professional value, but the business value and plan of ConocoPhillips.
We value and encourage learning to take place from a variety of different sources. Our framework to learning seeks to combine all aspects of development whether acquired through formal training, job assignments or through reflection and feedback.
Talent Management Teams
At ConocoPhillips, we have more than 20 different functional-based Talent Management Teams (TMTs) that help identify the company’s future business needs, assess current skills gaps and recommend actions to fill those gaps. These teams optimise the development of people with technical or highly specialised skills so that they can be shared globally or regionally by the company in order to successfully implement its strategy.
UNIVERSITY NEW HIRE ESSENTIALS
All graduate hires will be invited to participate in a programme, known as University New Hire Essentials, specifically designed to help you learn about the industry, our company and professional development topics that have shown to be beneficial to employees who have just come onboard, helping you make a successful transition from college to career.
In addition, you will also be invited to attend a two-day 'Getting to Know ConocoPhillips' orientation class within six months of joining us.
