Career Development Program

Career Development Program

The goal of FC Career Development Program (CDP) is to build future, long-term leaders for the company. And because we're into agriculture, we think about it like growing a good crop.

You take the right plant, the best dirt, the right chemicals, the right conditions and exposure and you nurture it so it can provide maximum yield.

At FC, we use this same philosophy with growing our people. We believe in hiring the best people and then committing all available internal and external resources to develop that person into a strong, capable leader.

The Career Development Program was created with this philosophy in mind. We look for potential CDP candidates who have curiosity and passion, strong communication skills, leadership abilities, and the intellectual horsepower to be leaders.

Once we find them, we hire them and then we submerse them in the company and our culture. We give them access to those that are currently at the helm of this

company – we show them how we think, how we make decisions, what's important to us. We teach them our mission to serve the farmer and what that means to us as a company. And the real leaders rise to the top.

At FC, we will ensure that you have what you need to become all you can be. We'll allow you to learn as much about the company as you're willing and we'll give you opportunities to see how you will fit in and where you can make the biggest impact. We won't fence you into a cubical or to a role that doesn't fit you. We'll give you the room - and the tools you need - to grow.

Unlike traditional companies or corporations, we don't wait until we have an open positions and then find a person to fill it. We are constantly searching for the best people. And if they're that good, we'll find a position to suit them.

Candidates for the CDP are the cream of the crop. They have to have what others don't and they have to be willing to do more and be more than average.
