How Others Leveled Up Their Careers with Our Training Program

From an overall standpoint, the EOM program exposed me to the Saint-Gobain way of doing things. So now at my plant in Chicago, I know what Saint-Gobain wants across all its businesses and how I can drive those initiatives at my plant.

The EOM program has given me the opportunity to grow in ways I didn’t think were possible before joining Saint-Gobain. I was able to travel across the US, visiting different plants and learning about various processes, which pushed me outside of my comfort zone and kept me learning.
