Lockheed Martin’s Communication Leadership Development Program
When I joined Lockheed Martin three years ago, I had only a vague idea of what was in store for me. I knew it would be a good place to apply my PR coursework and internship experience. I knew that the pay and benefits were good. I knew I would be moving to New York (so cold!!). What I didn’t know, was the program I joined – the Communications Leadership Development Program (CLDP) – was going to open doors I’d never imagined.
By the end of my first year I had landed the cover of a trade publication, directed video and photo shoots and had numerous crash courses in engineering and technology. This was all during my first CLDP rotation, which focused in Media and Marketing.
In my second year, I moved to New Jersey where I took over the Community Relations program for our business in Moorestown. This included setting the strategy, managing our philanthropy budget and coordinating volunteer programs. Being the facing of Lockheed Martin in our community was extremely rewarding.
When I graduated the program, I moved to Marietta, Ga. where I accepted a position of Communications Generalist (or as I like to call it, jack-of-all-trades). I worked across all disciplines including media, employee and community relations. After a few months, our team was restructured and I was asked to take over Employee Communications for the business in Marietta. My current role is managing Employee Communications handing everything from the Intranet, to all-hands meetings, to multi-media projects.
CLDP is open to PR undergraduate and graduate students graduating this December or May. To apply, email Donna Leblond at dleblond@uga.edu. If you want more information feel free to call or email me at 770-494-3847 or jill.krugman@lmco.com. Also, here are some links that you might find interesting:
