The business environment is increasingly competitive, so every company faces the pressing need to attract and retain tomorrow’s leaders in-house. As always at the forefront, Parker invests in a specific career program to support younger talent…
By 2025, Millennials will make up 75 percent of the global workforce. This generation is highly motivated and independent and brings an original perspective to the working world. Parker decided to celebrate the modern ideas and new ways of working that young people bring to the company by announcing the third consecutive year of our innovative LEAP program.
“There will be new challenges, and I am looking forward to them.
It’s not just about today, it’s about what I can become tomorrow.”
Sofia A, Customer Support Leader, Denmark
Accelerated leadership training
LEAP stands for Lead, Evolve, Achieve and Progress: it is a one-year leadership training program for people with less than five years of professional experience. The intent of the program is to identify, forge and support young talent and accelerate the placement of team members with the greatest potential in leadership positions. Throughout the year, participants engage in a variety of experiences, including:
- Leadership training
- Collaboration on an international strategic project and presentation of findings and recommendations to Parker International Management
- Opportunity to be mentored by a senior executive of the company..
“At Parker, I have numerous opportunities for growth, not only professionally but also personally.”
Robert S, Junior Production Manager, Germany
Real-world success and challenges
In the first two years, the LEAP program had 33 colleagues participating, and for the coming year, Parker has enrolled 27 people from 10 countries. Participants can expect a challenging, real-world experience that requires dedication, hard work and a willingness to push the limits.
Benefits of LEAP
LEAP offers a number of benefits, both for program participants and for Parker. Participants have access to coaching and training activities and can expand their professional network, increasing useful career contacts and gaining high visibility for international job opportunities. Parker, for his part, thus creates a solid group of future leaders and obtains innovative contributions to his own strategic projects.
“When I contribute to the growth of the company, I know that I am also growing as a person.”
Cebo M, Junior Sales Engineer, South Africa
