Project Development College
Our internal Project Development College supports the learning needs of the Project Development and Procurement (PD&P) organization on a worldwide basis. It offers programs that address functional skills, shared competencies and the common processes, systems and enabling technologies that support safe and effective capital project development and execution. 

Summit Program
The Summit Program is an accelerated development program for new engineering and construction management graduates in Project Development. The 12-month program includes an intensive summer training program followed by a 9-month assignment on a capital project team. The summer training includes an overview of the energy industry and ConocoPhillips' operations worldwide, followed by a deep dive into "The ConocoPhillips Way" of leading major capital projects around the globe. The training equips participants with the knowledge, tools and processes necessary to begin contributing as a member of a project team.

Summit Program participants also have the opportunity to develop networks with peers and technical experts, build teamwork skills critical to project team success, and benefit from mentoring relationships. After the initial 12-month program, Summit Engineers will have the opportunity to work with projects in a business unit, rotate through additional technical assignments in operations, or begin work on a capital project team, based on prior experience and their interests.
