Southwest Airlines Emerging Leader Development Program (ELDP) is launching its newest program installment: ELDP California in October 2019. Applications open today (June 24, 2019)!
ELDP California is a 14-month job rotational program designed to develop the next generation of excellent Southwest Frontline and Operational Leaders through hands-on experience, training, and mentoring.
ELDP California will be offered in three host locations: Los Angeles (LAX), San Diego (SAN), and San Jose (SJC) and applicants must provide proof of current residency in the State of California. Selected participants will experience on-the-job training, rotation experiences, and Leadership placement in the host location they apply to.
During the program, participants experience two seven-month rotations serving in the Above the Wing Supervisor and Below the Wing Supervisor roles. The program’s structure helps highly motivated participants gain a 360 degree view of our Operation, learn about Southwest’s diverse business, distinctive Culture, and our People-first mentality.
Participants motivate Teams, develop others, and implement strategies that positively impact our business. Our future Leaders also work to hone their Leadership skills, and have great exposure to our Senior Leaders, who engage by providing their time, feedback, and advice during Development Days at our Headquarters in Dallas, TX.
Following the successful completion of the program, participants are placed in an Operations Leadership role that aligns with their strengths, professional goals, and business need in their location. Leaders commit to serving in a location for 12-months after completing the program and will have the opportunity to continue growth and development through optional post-program experiences.
